PURPOSE:To continuoualy and securely apply a pattern even onto a substrate having a rugged surface, by a method wherein while feeding a substrate having a rugged or curved surface, a flexible belt form film having a pattern printed thereon is brought into colse contact with the substrate and is fed in the same direction as that of the substrate. CONSTITUTION:The substrate 2 having a rugged or curved surface is sequentially fed by a conveyor 1. On the other hand, a flexible sheet 8 is coated with an ink in a desired pattern between a form roll 5 and a pressure roll 6, and is fed out in the same direction as that of the substrate 2. After feeding out the sheet 8 with the ink-coated surface thereof making contact with the outside surface of the substrate 2, the sheet 8 and the substrate 2 2 are pressed so as to make close contact with each other by a group of guide rolls 10-18 and a group of holding rolls 19-23, whereby the ink is trasferred onto the surface of the substrate 2. After passing through the rolls 19-23, the sheet 8 is taken up by a take-up roll 9. |
