An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing printed material on which active energy ray-curable ink is printed, the method being capable of improving print density without impairing gradation expressivity. The present invention is a method for producing printed material, the method including, in order: a transfer process of transferring ink to a transfer target surface of a substrate; and an impression process of bringing each of impression cylinders into contact with the transfer target surface to which the ink has been transferred, and at least one of the impression cylinders has a patterned impression part.

Method for producing a printed material

To provide is a manufacturing method for obtaining printed material in which, in lithographic printing, a printed part where multiple colors are superimposed on each other has a high gloss, and also a lithographic printing ink set. The method for manufacturing printed material according to the present invention includes a step of coating at least black ink for lithographic printing, cyan ink for lithographic printing, magenta ink for lithographic printing, and yellow ink for lithographic printing on a substrate, in which a difference in surface tension between the inks to be coated on a substrate is at most equal to 3.5 mN/m. The lithographic printing ink set according to the present invention is a lithographic printing ink set including at least black ink, cyan ink, magenta ink, and yellow ink, in which a difference in surface tension between the inks included in the lithographic printing ink set is at most equal to 3.5 mN/m.
