Abstract
Printing pressure to be applied to a press roller ( ) is obtained by a pressure applying spring ( ) and an adjustable spring ( ), and the adjustable spring ( ) is extended or contracted by a tensile-force varying mechanism, thereby rendering the printing pressure variable. Accordingly, in cases such as where the viscosity of ink has changed due to a temperature change, and the contact time of a printing sheet (P) with respect to a rotary cylindrical drum ( ) or a stencil sheet (M) has changed due to a change in the printing speed, it is possible to stabilize printed image performance by adjusting the density of an image which is printed. In addition, a strong tensile force for stabilizing the printing pressure by the press roller ( ) is dispersed between the pressure applying spring ( ) and the adjustable spring ( ), and the adjustable spring ( ) is extended or contracted.
