ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a marking portion on a golf ball. A toner image is formed on a release sheet on its release side by an electrostatic copying machine, and a transfer (adhesive) sheet is then placed on the release sheet under pressure such that the adhesive surface thereof contacts the toner image so as to transfer the toner image onto the adhesive surface. Subsequently, the transfer sheet is removed from the release sheet, and the toner image on the transfer sheet is impregnated with a chemical which dissolves the toner image without causing the toner image to run. The transfer sheet is then pressed against a golf ball such that the toner image on the transfer sheet contacts the marking-portion forming surface of the golf ball so as to transfer the toner image onto the marking-portion forming surface. Subsequently, the transfer sheet is removed from the golf ball. The method improves adhesion of the toner image onto the marking-portion forming surface of the golf ball to thereby satisfactorily form the marking portion on the golf ball. A sheet having no adhesive surface (unadhesive sheet) may also be used for the transfer sheet.
