A process for producing a sheet and apparatus therefor that in the operation of heating a sheet substratum and a metal mold with fine uneven configuration, bringing them into mutual contact and pressurizing the same so as to form the fine uneven configuration on a surface of the sheet substratum, avoid transfer failure attributed to air trapping at the transfer face between the metal mold and the sheet substratum to thereby obtain a sheet having the desired fine uneven configuration formed on its surface. There are provided a process for producing a microconfiguration transfer sheet, and apparatus therefor, comprising, in the microconfiguration transfer sheet producing operation including heating a sheet substratum and a metal mold with fine uneven configuration, bringing them into mutual contact and pressurizing the same so as to form the fine uneven configuration on a surface of the sheet substratum, carrying out the configuration formation while changing the planarity of a configuration forming face consisting of at least one, or a combination, of a pair of pressurization plates or metal molds arranged so as to apply pressure to the sheet substratum and the metal mold.
