Abstract:
Provided are an ink composition for a printing method, in which the ink composition is applied to a printing blanket, a portion of a coating film is removed using a cliche, and then the coating film remaining on the printing blanket is transferred to an object to be printed, in which the ink composition before printing satisfies the following [Equation 1] [INK ST ≤BNKγc] and the ink coating film on the printing blanket satisfies the following [Equation 2] [BNKγc≤INK SE ≤SUB SE ] immediately before the removal of the portion of the ink coating film from the printing blanket using the cliche, and a printing method using the same.

Claim (Index 10):
A kit comprising an ink composition, a printing blanket and an object to be printed, wherein the ink composition has properties such that, before printing, it satisfies INK ST \u2264BNK\u03b3c [Equation 1], and\n the ink composition has properties such that, when printed on the printing blanket, the ink composition satisfies BNK\u03b3c\u2264INK SE \u2264SUB SE  [Equation 2], wherein in Equations 1 and 2, INK ST  is an initial surface tension of the ink composition, BNK\u03b3c is a critical surface tension of wetting of the printing blanket, INK SE  is a surface energy of the ink coating film on the printing blanket, and SUB SE  is a surface energy of the object to be printed, and said ink composition having properties such that conditions a)-c) are satisfied by said ink composition:\n d) INK ST  is 2 mN/m or more different from BNK\u03b3c in Equation 1; \n e) INK SE  is 2 mN/m or more different from BNK\u03b3c in Equation 1; and \n f) INK SE  is 2 mN/m or more different from SUB SE  in Equation 2,\n the ink composition having said properties comprising: silver particles having a diameter of 5 nm and 800 nm in an amount of from 10 wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the ink composition; at least two different solvents, a binder, and a silicone-based or a fluorine-based surfactant, \n wherein said silver particles, solvents, binder, and silicone-based or a fluorine-based surfactant are present in said ink composition in relative amounts effective to impart said properties satisfying Equation 1, Equation 2, and conditions a)-c).
