ABSTRACT:
A method for forming indicia on a three-dimensional surface, in particular golf ball components, such as dimpled covers, cores, intermediate layers, and half shells, using dye sublimation, wherein the indicia is offered an improved level of protection from degradation during normal ball use due to diffusion of the sublimating ink into the surface of the component. The indicia can be applied to painted, unpainted, or coated surfaces.
