Method for forming fine patterns on a substrate with a disposable cliche

A method for forming a fine pattern, comprising:

• (S1) contacting a cliche-forming film to a patterned hard mold, to make a disposable cliche;
• (S2) coating an elastic blanket cylinder with ink or resin;
• (S3) compressing the elastic blanket cylinder to the disposable cliche to remove ink or resin on a surface of the elastic blanket cylinder at a portion contacting with a relatively protruded embossed portion of the disposable cliche;
• and
• (S4) transcribing ink or resin remaining on the surface of the elastic blanket cylinder to a substrate,
• wherein the cliche-forming film has a thickness of 70 μm or less,
• wherein the cliche-forming film has a surface energy greater than that of the ink,
• wherein the step (S1) further comprises placing the cliche-forming film between the hard mold and a complementary hard mold, compressing the hard mold and the complementary hard mold to fit with each other, and taking off the complementary hard mold, and wherein the cliche-forming film is selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene film and a polyethylene terephthalate film.
