This suspended metal mask for printing is provided with: a plate frame (3); a mesh that is provided in a stretched manner by means of the outer perimeter thereof being adhered/affixed to the inside of the plate frame and that has an electrically conductive metal mesh (1) at least at the center portion thereof; and a base metal (5) that is integrally joined by means of being contacted/stacked and then joined/plated onto the metal mesh (1), and to which an opening pattern (5b) for printing is provided. Of the base metal (5), the area of the metal portion of the base metal (5) is reduced by means of the metal portion at the periphery of the portion at which the opening pattern (5b) for printing is formed remaining and the metal portions at other portions unrelated to printing being eliminated as much as possible. A plurality of metal-area-reducing holes (5d) are formed at the metal portions at the portions unrelated to printing, and an emulsion (14) fills the metal-area-reducing holes to occlude the holes. |
