There is provided a method for forming an electrically conductive ultrafine pattern which has an excellent pattern cross-sectional shape is provided by a composite technique including a printing process and a plating process, and furthermore, by imparting excellent adhesion to each interface of a laminate including a plating core pattern, an electrically conductive ultrafine pattern which can be preferably used as a highly accurate electric circuit and a method for manufacturing the same are also provided. The method includes (1) a step of applying a resin composition to form a receiving layer on a substrate; (2) a step of printing an ink containing plating core particles by a reverse offset printing method to form a plating core pattern on the receiving layer; and (3) a step of depositing a metal on the plating core pattern formed in the step (2) by an electrolytic plating method.
