ABSTRACT:
A marked golf ball is provided. The mark on the ball surface contains a holographic portion in a solid color portion of printing ink. The mark is printed on the ball surface by use of a transfer printing film. In a manufacturing process of the printing film, a desired shape is printed in ink on a cover layer, the ink portion is masked by a water-soluble layer, a thin metal layer is deposited all around, and then the water-soluble layer is washed off to remove the metal layer on the water-soluble layer and to leave the metal layer adjacent to the ink portion on the cover layer. The remaining portion of the metal layer turns to be the holographic portion due to a rough boundary between the cover layer. The mark has a novel appearance and makes the golf ball a quality, decorative, distinct and well discriminative value added product.
