Abstract
Provided is a printing apparatus including: a printing roller whose outer circumferential surface is coated with ink; a cliché roller which rotates in engagement with the printing roller and forms first patterns on the printing roller by removing portions of the ink coated on the outer circumferential surface of the printing roller and on which second patterns which are the removed portions of the ink are formed; a first transfer substrate onto which the first patterns of the printing roller are transferred; and a second transfer substrate onto which the second patterns of the cliché roller are transferred. The printing apparatus can reduce the time required for a product production process by omitting a cliché cleaning process.
