Abstract
A printing plate for screen printing to form a prescribed pattern with ink on an object includes: a plate of a prescribed material having a first surface and a second surface and divided at a distribution in accordance with the prescribed pattern into a first part and a second part. The first part has small apertures allowing the ink to be pressed out from the first surface to the second surface formed therein. The second part does not allow the ink to be transferred from the first surface to the second surface. The printing plate further includes a thin partition formed along the boundary of the first part and the second part and protruding by a prescribed uniform height from the second surface. The thin partition is for limiting within the second part the spreading of the ink on an object which is pressed out through the small apertures to the second surface of the second part. A process of manufacturing such a printing plate is also disclosed.
