A method for manufacturing a printing plate having an image area and a non-image area, wherein the image area is a recessed area formed by a layer containing silicone rubber, the non-image area is a raised area formed by a layer containing a fluorine compound on a surface of the layer containing silicone rubber, and a height difference between a surface of the image area and a surface of the non-image area is from more than 0.1 μm to 10 μm, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a second layer containing silicone rubber in a region that becomes the non-image area on a first layer containing silicone rubber to obtain the layer containing silicone rubber;
- and
- forming the layer containing the fluorine compound on a surface of the second layer containing silicone rubber.
