A printing tool disposed at least at a portion of a periphery of an item to be printed in performing printing in which a printing pad is pushed against the item to be printed by being linearly moved in a first direction toward a printing stage to transfer an ink image transferred to a printing surface of the printing pad to the item to be printed,
- the printing tool comprising an inner edge
- disposed side by side with the item to be printed in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and
- facing, in the second direction, a peripheral edge portion of the item to be printed that is a portion outside a printing range of the item to be printed.
A printing method in which a printing pad is pushed against an item to be printed by being linearly moved in a first direction toward a printing stage to transfer an ink image transferred to a printing surface of the printing pad to the item to be printed, the printing method comprising:
- placing a printing tool on the printing stage,
- the printing tool including
- an inner edge located in such a way as to face a peripheral edge portion of the item to be printed, and
- a pad receiving surface extending outward from the inner edge;
- and
- pushing the printing pad against the item to be printed and the printing tool, the printing pad being pushed against the printing tool until the printing pad is brought into contact with the pad receiving surface.
