PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an embossing apparatus and an embossing method, capable of forming a fine embossed pattern without shallow/deep unevenness on a sheet, and to provide printed matter having the fine embossed pattern without the shallow/deep unevenness.SOLUTION: A heater 6, an interval adjusting plate 7 and a template 8 are provided on a circumferential surface of a heating roller 2. More heat escapes from peripheral edge portions in the template 8 than a central portion surrounded by them. Accordingly, the heater 6 is divided into peripheral edge parts and a central part sounded by the peripheral edge parts, and a heat generation amount per unit area from the peripheral edge parts of the heater 6 is larger than the heat generation amount per unit area from the central part. |
