Abstract
A plastic surface-printing method which comprises the steps of drawing an image on a plastic surface by an ink composition containing a coloring material; enclosing the printed plastic surface in a cover wherein there is placed a flash discharge tube; causing the flash discharge tube to emit light beams to irradiate heat pulses on the printed plastic surface; applying pressure on the printed plastic surface due to the expansion of air in the cover resulting from the application of heat pulses; and fixing an inked image on the plastic surface.
