Böttcher views press processes as systems whose functionality depends on the interaction between in­dividual components. Besides paper, printing ink and technology, the choice of printing blankets and coating plates also plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the printed product. Böttcher has developed a diverse program of printing blankets and coating plates designed to achieve a single goal: to perfect the printed image and enhance the user-friendliness of presses.

Exact dot reproduction, rich, even solids, quick sheet and web release and reduced piling and linting, all these criteria are achieved with the aid of Böttcher products. Excellent smash resistance and gauge stability guarantee top performance. And this quality pays off, as printers who use optimum printing blankets and coating plates work much more economically.
