To enable high-precision and stable printing in the case when a pattern is printed on a base material, by forming the pattern on a roll-to-roll continuous sheet film by primary transfer and further by secondarily transferring the pattern formed by the primary transfer onto the base material.

In this equipment, the pattern is formed on the roll-to-roll continuous sheet film 21 by the primary transfer and further the pattern formed by the primary transfer is secondarily transferred onto the base material 5, so as to be printed thereon. The equipment has a mechanism for performing the primary transfer and the secondary transfer while giving a certain tension to the sheet film.
