A printing method including the steps of, forming a transfer layer on a blanket, forming a groove portion on the transfer layer by pressing a protrusion portion of a mold member including the protrusion portion having a predetermined pattern against the transfer layer, the groove portion having the pattern corresponding to the protrusion portion, forming a print pattern layer on the blanket by causing the transfer layer on the blanket and a relief printing plate including a convex portion having a pattern corresponding to a reverse pattern of the protrusion portion to face each other and pressure-contacting them so that a portion on the transfer layer corresponding to the convex portion is selectively eliminated, and transferring the print pattern layer onto a substrate to be printed by causing the print pattern layer on the blanket and the substrate to be printed to face each other and pressure-contacting them.
