There is disclosed a method of printing on a surface of an elastic plastics material, comprising: screen printing a background ink or varnish; and transfer printing a colour image and/or text over the background ink or varnish. Preferably, the ink or varnish is continuous. This allows a customary coverseal to be dispensed with. In an alternative which uses less ink or varnish, that is printed in an array of dots. This method is particularly suitable for the printing of computer mouse mats, eg with promotional material, since (1) Screen printing is limited to the application of blocks of solid colour, it not being possible to produce graded photograph-like colour images; and (2) experiments have been conducted with printing the base layer of a mouse mat by transfer printing using a colour copier but a adhesion of the transfer ink to the base layer is not good, especially if the layer is stretched. |
