<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use a thin membrane such as a transfer film with a printed regular image and bring the thin membrane in close contact with the surface of a printing object without interference of air even when the object has an uneven surface. SOLUTION: A printing object 4 is immersed below a liquid surface 21 and a thin membrane 3 with a printed image 31 is floated on the liquid surface 21 with the printed surface up. With the thin membrane 3 put on the printing object 4, the printing object 4 is raised above the liquid surface 21 together with the thin membrane 3 to transfer the thin membrane 3 on the printing object 4. To raise the printing object 4 and the thin membrane 3 above the liquid surface 21, a lifting device 5 can be used or liquid 2 can be drained from a storage tank 1. It is desirable that the thin membrane 3 swells and gelates as it comes in contact with the liquid 2 and allows vapor of the liquid 2 to permeate.</p> |
