PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR PRINTING, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYING INSTRUMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a required amount of transfer of an ink even when it is used for printing a thick film such as a seal of a liquid crystal displaying instrument. SOLUTION: The ink is dropped down on the surface of an anilox roll 4 from a dispenser nozzle 5, and is made into an ink film with a uniform thickness by a doctor blade 6 and it is transferred onto a flexographic printing plate 2 having a thick film transfer pattern provided on a plate cylinder 1. Furthermore, this is transferred onto a body 3 to be printed on a printing table 7. Heaters 401, 101 and 701 for controlling temperatures are respectively provided on the anilox roll 4, the plate cylinder 1 and the printing table 7 to make the surface temperature of the anilox roll 4 highest, and to make the surface temperature of the plate cylinder next higher, and thereby, transfer of the ink from the anilox roll 4 to the body 3 to be printed is surely performed. It is possible thereby to obtain the required amount of transfer of the ink even when thick film printing is performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
