Abstract
A curved-surface printing method applicable to a member exposed to a high-temperature closed atmosphere and a lamp unit to which such a method is applied. A transfer film formed by printing a transfer ink on a water-soluble film is floated on water in a water tank and then an object in the form of an extension, adapted to be arranged in a lamp unit, is downwardly pressed against the transfer film, resulting in the transfer ink being, by water pressure, transferred to the object by curved-surface printing. An activator coated on the transfer film prior to the transfer printing contains a plasticizer selected from dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP). A volatilization promoting drying treatment for volatilizing the platicizer is carried out after the transfer printing.
