Abstract
For printing fine patterns, a fine pattern of a setting type ink is applied to a printing plate surface to become printing elements. Then, the setting type ink thus applied on the printing plate is subjected to a setting treatment thereby to set at least one part of the ink pattern, and thereafter the printing plate and an object to be printed are pressed relatively against each other thereby to transfer the ink pattern onto the print object. The printing plate can be an intaglio plate or a lithographic plate. Fine patterns of printing element widths as fine as 3 .mu.m with an ink film thickness of 2 .mu.m can be printed efficiently with the high precision on various objects including hard and rigid objects.
