Description of the Related Art Printing is performed on the surface of a printing film having a thin film made of a material which is dissolved by a liquid, and the printed surface of the film is floated on the water surface. A method of printing by pressing an object to be printed in the direction of water from the air and utilizing the water pressure applied in water at this time to bring the film into close contact with the surface of the object to be printed and printing is disclosed in JP-B-52- No. 41682 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-190151.

た。However, in such a conventional method, since the object to be printed is pressed against the printing surface of the film, a mirror image of the image to be printed on the object to be printed must be printed on the film surface. The problem is that when the object to be printed is pressed against the film from the air, if there is unevenness on the surface of the object to be printed, air will be trapped between the concave part of the object to be printed and the film, and the adhesion between the two will be lost. There was a point.

From the above, it is preferable to press the thin film onto the thin film to place the film on the object to be printed while exposing both of them to above the liquid surface to transfer the film to the surface of the object to be printed.
In order to expose both of them above the liquid surface in this way, it is possible to raise the above-mentioned object to be printed above the above-mentioned liquid surface, or to bring the above-mentioned liquid surface below the above-mentioned object to be printed. It can be performed by lowering it or by moving both toward each other in the same manner. In this method, since the object to be printed is pressed against the liquid side surface of the printing film floated on the liquid surface with the printing surface facing upward, if a normal image is printed on the printing film. Well, since the object to be printed is present in the liquid in the initial state of printing, even if there is unevenness on the surface of the object to be printed, when it is exposed above the liquid surface, it will be between the object to be printed and the printing film. No air gets into the.

しない。FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a specific example of the printing film of the present invention floated on a liquid 2. The printing film 3 is a thin film 33 which is swollen by the liquid 2 and is film-shaped. The swelling prevention film 32 is laminated and attached. The swelling prevention film 32 is preliminarily printed on the swelling prevention film 32 of the printing film 3 with a simple printing machine "Print Gokko" (trade name: manufactured by Riso Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd.).
When the printing film 3 is floated on the liquid surface of the liquid 2 with its side facing upward, the thin film 33 is swollen by the liquid 2 and
Shows a tendency to expand in the direction indicated by the arrow, that is, in the plane direction of the thin film 33, but since the swelling prevention film 32 laminated thereon is not swollen by the liquid 2, the thin film 3
3 is prevented from expanding in the plane direction, the printing 31 applied on the swelling prevention film 32 does not substantially change from the size at the time of printing, and the printing density does not substantially change. .

Further, in this specific example, the object to be printed 4 is held on the elevating means 5 placed on the bottom surface of the storage tank 1, and the regulation plate 6 having an opening in the center is floated on the liquid surface 21 to form a printing film. The printing film 3 is placed directly above the printing object 4 by floating the printing film 3 in the opening of the regulation plate 6.

When the upper surface of the object to be printed 4 and the printing film 3 placed on the object 4 are completely lifted above the liquid surface 21, the edge of the thin film 33 swells in the planar direction to some extent. As a result, the thin film 33 follows the dimples on the surface of the object 4 to be printed, that is, the concave-convex portion 41, and is deformed and adheres closely. On the other hand, since the swelling prevention film 32 does not swell, the printing 31 applied thereon is not deformed.

印刷用フィルム３が良好に密着する。In the state shown in FIG. 6, even if a small amount of liquid 22 is filled between the object 4 to be printed and the printing film 3, air does not enter, and in particular, dimples or irregularities on the surface of the object 4 to be printed are provided. Since air does not enter the part 41,
The printing film 3 adheres well.

きる。Thus, by drying the liquid component 22, the printing film 3 can be brought into good contact with the surface of the object 4 to be printed. At this time, if the swelling prevention film 32 has a property of permeating the vapor of the liquid 2 or is porous as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the printing film 3 is used.
The liquid content 22 remaining between the golf ball 4 and the golf ball 4 dries quickly, and the printing film 3 can be fixed quickly.
