Retransfer printing mode

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To exactly print the pictures of a printing plate even on a three-dimensional face as well as to obtain an inexpensive printing plate by a method in which ink is transferred from a photo-sensitive resin plate to an intermediate transfer material and then retransferred from the intermediate transfer material to a face to be printed. CONSTITUTION:Ink is coated on the plate face of a photo-sensitive resin plate 1, an intermediate transfer material 3 is pressingly contacted with the plate face to transfer the ink to the face of a bag 3b, and then the intermediate transfer material 3 is pressed on a face 4 to be printed to retransfer the ink transferred to the face 4 to be printed. In such a printing method, heating the intermediate transfer material 3 by a fluid heated by a heater 3e permits the transferring efficiency of the ink of the plate to the intermediate transfer material 3 to enhance and also even the retransferring efficiency of the ink of the intermediate transfer material to the face 4 to be printed to enhance. Furthermore, the drying speed of the ink on the face 4 being printed can also be hastened.
