Since 2007, EIS has continued to evolve its unique blanket renewal technology that restores blankets to full quality. Restoring a used blanket’s printability and ensuring it matches the performance of a new blanket also reduces costs and waste. With careful handling, said EIS, some blankets can be renewed as many as 8 times, with the average being 4 times. Savings of up to 50% of the cost of a new blanket can be achieved while diverting tons of waste from landfills.
UV print blankets were the first focus of the EIS program due to their high consumption, but MacDonald encourages printers to approach EIS even if they’re conventional ink or gapless web printers. EIS also diagnoses production-related inefficiencies, and makes recommendations tailored to each printer’s unique production environment. The company offers a no-obligation, 10-blanket free trial to any printers interested in trying its program.
