FIELD: printing form for printing of, in particular, securities and documents, and a printing method. ^ SUBSTANCE: printing form contains, at least, two functional layers 1 and 2, first one of which is made with through printing elements 3 and 4 for transferring painted image directly onto carrier material 5. Printing form has means 8 for tearing paint layer and redistributing paint in printing elements between layers, which means may be made in form of a mesh or honeycombed structure between layers 1 and 2. In accordance to invention, printing method includes transferring form pattern onto carrier material by means of described printing form, while during printing pressure is created in printing zone, value of which exceeds the yield point value of the carrier material. ^ EFFECT: possible creation of imprints, analogical to metallographic printing imprints, with more complicated structure and increased degree of protection from forgery; improved quality of imprints due to decreased probability of spraying of paint across space sections of form during printing, and also due to fine-grain structure of imprint surface with high productivity and possible use of broad assortment of painting materials. ^ 4 cl, 12 dwg |
