<p>This invention provides paste composition for printing, which is particularly characterized by comprising a) 5 to 30 % by weight of an acrylate polymer resin; b) 5 to 30 % by weight of a cross-linking oligomer; c) 0.1 to 5 % by weight of a photopolymerization initiator; and d) 50 to 85 % by weight of a metal powder. The paste composition for printing in accordance with the invention is especially suitable for gravure offset printing capable of directly forming fine pattern, it can fundamentally solve retreatment problems of materials that occur during the manufacturing of electrodes of mesh filters for shielding electromagnetic waves or electrode pattern for plasma display panels using the prior photolithography methods and at the same time, it can satisfy a variety of the properties required as a paste composition each of which is required for printing process so that appropriate offset print performance can be exerted.</p>
