Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for multi-color printing in a single step without the necessity to register a position. SOLUTION: This printing method performs a printing work by applying the process to selectively fill microcontainers of an elastic stamp with color inks to a single printing master. In addition, the method comprises the steps of sequentially filling stamp hollows with a color ink (1040) selected for printing through a plurality of rollers of different colors (941) covered with a lid layer (1010) having an opening part at a position which is aligned to an appropriate stamp hollow, and bringing a stamp face into contact with the surfaces of printing media (96 and 1060), tightly fitted to a surface shape under an outer force and the elastic force of a stamp layer and simultaneously sealing the periphery of openings of the stamp hollows and limiting the transfer of a color ink to the printing media (96 and 1060) to the medium part coming into contact with the hollow openings.
