Method for transferring ink by printing method

摘要

A method for transferring ink on a plate onto a material to be printed by a printing method involves the steps of: providing the ink at predetermined positions on the plate, the ink being sensitive to a field to increase its viscosity so as to have a solidified state or a semi-solidified state; applying the field to the ink to maintain configuration of the ink provided at the predetermined positions on the plate; and transferring the ink onto the material to be printed while maintaining the ink in the solidified or semi-solidified state.
