Accessories available separately:
- Pusher Blankets are made from dense, wool felt, and are used on top of the cushion blanket to protect it as well as to reduce the strain on the top roller. Size: 10½″ x 19″ x 1/8″ (avail. separately)
- Catcher Blankets are made from dense, wool felt, and are used on top of the printing paper to catch the sizing as damp paper runs through the press. Size: 12″ x 26″ x 1/16″ (avail. separately)
