An offset printing method comprises the steps of: a process for suspending a sheet-shaped or belt-shaped blanket by supporting both ends thereof at the leading and trailing ends thereof in the printing direction; and a process for performing ink reception from a plate to the blanket and also transferring ink from the blanket to a work, by pressing the blanket by a pressuring jig from an upwards direction down onto a plate or work situated below and sweeping in the printing direction. An offset printing apparatus is configured so as to carry out this method.
