Question

In etching press, the finely woven felt blanket placed on top is called as -

• A. The thermal felt blanket
• B. The pusher felt blanket
• C. The insulating felt blanket
• D. The non-thermal felt blanket

Hint:

This blanket helps with even pressure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The pusher felt blanket is a key component in an etching press. It ensures even distribution of pressure over the etching plate and paper during the printing process, protecting both from damage.

• Function: Distributes pressure evenly across the plate and paper.
• Protection: Prevents damage to the etching plate and paper.
• Impression quality: Absorbs excess pressure to achieve consistent impressions.
