Method and apparatus for printing materials, wherein ink is applied to an intaglio matrix and then scraped off to such an extent that ink remains only in the depressions of the matrix. A printing pad having a surface which is normally repellent to ink is pressed onto the matrix such that ink adheres thereto in accordance with the pattern of the depressions of the matrix. The printing pad is then pressed against a material to be printed such that the ink on the printing pad is substantially completely transferred to the printed material.
