Provided are a composition for printing for use in a printing method which uses a silicon-based blanket, including: 1) a binder resin, 2) a low-boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 100° C. or less, and 3) a high-boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 180° C. or more, wherein the high-boiling solvent has a difference in solubility parameter with the binder resin of 3 (cal·cm)1/2 or less, a difference in solubility parameter with the silicon-based blanket of 4 (cal·cm)1/2 or more, and a swelling parameter for the silicon-based blanket of 2 or less, and a printing method using the same.
