Sharp, endless sleeves for rotary screen printing having superior durability to printing can be obtained by a method of the present invention. According to this method, a metal image-forming layer having a smooth endless outside surface and a thickness in the range of 5-50μ is made, and into the inside thereof is inserted a cylindrical screen sleeve as an image-supporter made of a metal or a non-metallic material having been processed to provide electric conductivity thereto, and both the layers and the sleeve are fixed to each other with electro- or chemical- plating, or on the outside of a cylindrical screen sleeve, is formed a smooth surface of endless image-forming layer by plating while partly coating the screen-sleeve. |
