PURPOSE: To make it possible to directly print a printing film which has remarkably-improved uniformity in film thickness, by feeding ink to a printing plate after a mold having a smooth surface of ink repellency contacts an ink feed roller adhered with ink or an ink feed board.
CONSTITUTION: An ink 15 adhered on an ink feed board 11 is rendered smooth by the pressure generated between a roller mold 14 and the feed board 11. Since the mold means 14 is coated with a silicon resin layer of an ink repellency on the surface thereof, the ink 15 on the feed board 11 is never transferred to the mold means 14. Then, a printing plate 8 comes in contact with the uniform film of the ink on the feed board 11. Accordingly, since the ink film on the ink feed board 11 is divided into two layers, the distribution of the film thickness of the ink film formed in a printing area on the printing plate 8 is able to be unified. Thereafter, when a carriage 9 is returned leftwards after it is moved rightwards, the printing plate 8 having the uniform film thickness of the ink at the printing area thereof is brought into contact with a glass plate 13, thereby effecting printing on the glass plate 13.
