IMPRINT METHOD AND DATA RECORDING MEDIUM MANUFACTURING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To positionally align a stamper and a base material with each other with high precision without performing troublesome positional aligning work. SOLUTION: When an uneven pattern reverse to the uneven pattern on a stamper side in uneven positional relation is formed to an intermediate body 10 having a center hole 10h formed thereto using a stamper 30 having a center hole 30h and the uneven pattern on the stamper side formed thereto and an imprinting device 1 having a fixed base stand 2, to which a positional aligning shaft member 5 is provided in a protruded state, and a movable base stand 3, A-arranging processing for arranging the intermediate body 10 and the stamper 30 on the base stand 2 so as to insert the shaft member 5 through the center holes 10h and 30h, A-positional aligning processing for elastically deforming the shaft member 5 so as to press the outer peripheral part thereof to the inner surfaces of the center holes 10h and 30h and transfer processing for pressing the stamper 30 to the intermediate body 10 by allowing the base stand 3 to approach the base stand 2 to transfer the uneven pattern on the stamper side to the intermediate body 10 are executed in this order.
