Description
Our Felt Blankets are of a very high quality 100% wool.
A set of 3 blankets consists of a sizing catcher, a pusher, and a cushion.
A set of 4 is advisable to have an extra sizing catcher since this blanket does become soiled and must be occasionally cleaned. Woolite is a good choice but your blanket may shrink once you do this. Dry cleaning is another method that can be used.
The 1/16" Sizing Catcher is placed next to the work on the press bed.
The 1/8" Pusher Blanket is furnished as a woven material since it must stand up to the abrasive action of the upper roller of the press. It is placed over the cushion blanket.
The 1/4" Cushion Blanket is placed over the Sizing Catcher.
The 1/16" Sizing Catcher is available in either a wooven blanket or a pressed blanket.
The key difference between these blankets is that the wooven blanket may contain a wooven pattern. This can cause an issue where the blanket will transfer this pattern to your print under heavy pressure applications.
The pressed blanket is considered the traditional blanket for printmaking and does not contain any patterns and is pressed together and held with a bonding agent.
