To provide a printing apparatus and a printing method that produce a "block" on demand at high speed as easily as a xerographic printing apparatus and provide image quality of the same level as offset printing.
The printing apparatus using a rewritable block includes: a photoreceptor drum which becomes a block forming body that forms the rewritable block; a developer which becomes a convex part forming means that forms a convex part by selectively attaching an ink-repelling particle to a part where a latent image is formed on a surface of the photoreceptor drum; an ink roller which becomes a recording material supplying means that supplies ink of a recording material to the surface of the photoreceptor drum; a blanket cylinder which becomes an intermediate transfer body that transfers the recording material supplied to the surface of the photoreceptor drum; an impression cylinder which becomes a pressing means that performs pressing when the recording material on the surface of the blanket cylinder is transferred to a paper which becomes a recording medium; and a carrying means that carries the paper, and a surface of the ink-repelling particle has property that repels the recording material, and the surface of the photoreceptor drum has property that does not repel the recording material.
