Abstract

The present specification relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a blanket, a method for manufacturing a blanket, a blanket manufactured using the same, a reverse offset printing roll provided with the blanket, and a reverse offset printing apparatus including the same.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a blanket comprising:
1) supplying a substrate film to a surface plate;
2) coating a blanket composition on the substrate film;
3) adjusting a thickness of the coated blanket composition by horizontally moving a comma blade on the surface plate coated with the blanket composition; and
4) manufacturing the blanket by drying or curing the blanket composition at room temperature,
wherein, of the whole surface of the comma blade, the surface contacting the blanket composition is an angular surface,
wherein the angular surface comprises a structure in which two planes forming the angular surface contact each other at an exterior angle of 5° or more and 30° or less, and
wherein in the step 3), the comma blade moves horizontally such that a distance between an upper surface of the surface plate and an end of the comma blade closest to the upper surface of the surface plate remains constant.

2. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , further comprising removing dust on the substrate film prior to the step 1).

3. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , wherein, in the step 1), the substrate film may closely contact the surface plate by applying vacuum negative pressure to the substrate film through a vacuum suction unit having any one or more of a hole structure, a groove structure and a line structure formed on the surface of the surface plate.

4. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , wherein, in the step 1), the substrate film may closely contact the surface plate by applying tension to the substrate film through the substrate film supplying unit and the substrate film collecting unit.

5. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , wherein, the blanket composition includes a siloxane-based resin.

6. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , further comprising forming a primer layer on the substrate film prior to the step 2).

7. The method for manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , further comprising forming a slip layer on the blanket after the step 4).

8. The method of manufacturing a blanket of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the upper surface of the surface plate and the end of the comma blade closest to the upper surface of the surface plate is 200 μm or more and 5 mm or less.
