Description

本発明は、ゴルフボールのマーキングの技術分野に属する。   The present invention belongs to the technical field of golf ball marking.

一般に、ゴルフボールの表面には文字や数字あるいはロゴマーク等のマーキングが施されている。ゴルフボールの表面に特徴的なマーキングを施して、ボールの視覚的外観を見栄えのするものとし、他のゴルフボールとの差別化や個性化を図り、ボールの識別を容易にするための幾つかの試みがこれまでになされてきた。   In general, the surface of a golf ball is marked with letters, numbers, logo marks, or the like. A number of markings are provided on the surface of the golf ball to enhance the visual appearance of the ball, to differentiate it from other golf balls, to make the ball easier to identify. Attempts have been made so far.

マーキングにより特徴的な視覚的外観を有するゴルフボールとして、特許文献1及び特許文献2に開示されているような転写フィルムを用いてマーキングが施されたゴルフボールが知られている。このゴルフボールの表面に施されたマーキングは、フィルム基材上に、所定の色彩のインキ塗膜部分と、該インキ塗膜部分と相隣接する金属薄膜部分とが設けられてなる転写フィルムをゴルフボールの表面に加熱下で圧着することにより得られる。上記転写フィルムは、上記インキ塗膜部分と金属薄膜部分とからなる転写層と、該転写層と上記フィルム基材との間に設けられた表面保護層とを有しており、該表面保護層と上記転写層における金属薄膜部分との境界面が凹凸に形成されている。このため、上記転写フィルムによりゴルフボールの表面に転写された転写層の金属薄膜部分において、上層の表面保護層との境界面である外表面が凹凸状となるので、該金属薄膜部分は光の乱反射効果を呈するホログラムの部分となり、しかも該ホログラム部分はインキ塗膜部分と相互に隣接して転写層の中で位置している。このため、ゴルフボールの表面には、異質な外観を有するインキ塗膜部分とホログラム部分とが相互に隣接して組み合わされた特徴的なマーキングが形成される。   As golf balls having a visual appearance characteristic of marking, golf balls that have been marked using a transfer film as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known. The marking on the surface of the golf ball is obtained by golfing a transfer film in which an ink coating portion having a predetermined color and a metal thin film portion adjacent to the ink coating portion are provided on a film substrate. It is obtained by pressure bonding to the surface of the ball under heating. The transfer film has a transfer layer composed of the ink coating film portion and the metal thin film portion, and a surface protective layer provided between the transfer layer and the film base material. And the metal thin film portion in the transfer layer are unevenly formed. For this reason, in the metal thin film portion of the transfer layer transferred to the surface of the golf ball by the transfer film, the outer surface, which is the boundary surface with the upper surface protective layer, becomes uneven. It becomes a portion of the hologram that exhibits the irregular reflection effect, and the hologram portion is located in the transfer layer adjacent to the ink coating portion. For this reason, a characteristic marking is formed on the surface of the golf ball in which an ink coating portion having a different appearance and a hologram portion are combined adjacent to each other.

ところが、上記の転写フィルムを用いたマーキング方法でゴルフボールに所定のマーキングを施すと、いずれの場合もゴルフボールの表面にインキ塗膜部分と金属薄膜部分とが相互に分離独立し個々に仕切られて位置することになるので、インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩に、高級感のある光沢部分を重ねて積層し、インキ塗膜部分と光沢部分との両方の特徴を併せ持つマーキングをゴルフボールの表面に施すことができない。   However, when a predetermined marking is applied to the golf ball by the marking method using the transfer film described above, the ink coating portion and the metal thin film portion are separated from each other on the surface of the golf ball and separated individually. Therefore, the surface of the golf ball has a marking that combines the characteristics of both the ink coating and the glossy part. Can not be applied.

そこで、本発明は、ゴルフボールのマーキングにおいて、マーキングの所定の色彩のインキ塗膜部分に高級感のある光沢部分を重ねて積層し、インキ独自の色彩と光沢部分との異質な外観を有する部分同士を融合・混合することで従来にない見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することを課題とする。   Therefore, the present invention provides a golf ball marking in which a glossy portion having a high-class feeling is layered and laminated on an ink coating portion of a predetermined color of the marking, and a portion having a different appearance between the original color of the ink and the glossy portion. It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf ball having an unprecedented appearance by fusing and mixing each other.

It is characterized in that it is pressure-bonded to the golf ball surface from the material side under heating, and thereafter the film substrate is removed.

また、本願の請求項5に記載の発明は、所定のマーキングが施されたゴルフボールの製造に用いられる転写フィルムであって、フィルム基材上に、光沢発現性物質の粉体を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分と、所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分とが、両塗膜部分の縁部同士が一致する状態で、この順に設けられて、ゴルフボールに転写するマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成されていることを特徴とする。   Further, the invention according to claim 5 of the present application is a transfer film used for manufacturing a golf ball on which a predetermined marking is applied, and is a transparent film containing a powder of a gloss-expressing substance on a film substrate. An ink coating portion and a colored ink coating portion of a predetermined color are provided in this order with the edges of both coating portions matching each other, and the marking transferred to the golf ball is placed on the film substrate. It is formed.

そして、本願の請求項6に記載の発明は、所定のマーキングが施されたゴルフボールの製造に用いられる転写フィルムであって、フィルム基材上に、光沢発現性物質の粉体を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分と、所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分とが、上記透明インキ塗膜部分の縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分の縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分の周辺部に位置する状態で、この順に設けられて、ゴルフボールに転写するマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成されていることを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 6 of the present application is a transfer film used for manufacturing a golf ball on which a predetermined marking is applied, and is a transparent film containing a gloss-expressing substance powder on a film substrate. The ink coating film portion and the colored ink coating film portion of a predetermined color are located at the periphery of the colored ink coating film portion with the edge of the transparent ink coating film portion exceeding the edge of the colored ink coating film portion. The markings provided in this order and transferred to the golf ball are formed on the film substrate.

以上の様に構成したことにより、まず、請求項1に記載の発明によれば、ゴルフボールのマーキングが、ゴルフボール表面に所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分が設けられ、該有色インキ塗膜部分の上に光沢発現性物質の粉体を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分が、両塗膜部分の縁部同士が一致する状態で、設けられていることで、有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分による金属光沢部分とが一体に融合・混合して見えるため、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により一様・均一に輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   By configuring as described above, first, according to the invention described in claim 1, the marking of the golf ball is provided with a colored ink coating film portion of a predetermined color on the surface of the golf ball, and the colored ink coating film The transparent ink paint film part containing the gloss developing substance powder on the part is provided in a state where the edges of both paint film parts coincide with each other. And the metallic glossy part of the transparent ink coating part appear to be fused and mixed together, so the colored ink coating part appears to be shining uniformly and uniformly with the glossy substance of the transparent ink coating part. It is possible to provide a golf ball that is configured on the surface of the ball and has a high-quality gloss that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion, and that is excellent in appearance.

そして、請求項2に記載の発明によれば、請求項1に記載のマーキングと類似のマーキングであるが、透明インキ塗膜部分が、該透明インキ塗膜部分の縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分の縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分の周辺部に位置する状態で、設けられていることで、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分だけでなくその周囲のゴルフボールの表面にも密着するため、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分の全面のみを覆う場合と比較して、転写層のゴルフボール表面に対する付着性が向上し、耐衝撃性が向上する。   And according to invention of Claim 2, although it is a marking similar to the marking of Claim 1, a transparent ink coating film part is an edge part of this transparent ink coating film part, and a colored ink coating film part The transparent ink coating part is not only on the colored ink coating part, but also on the surface of the surrounding golf ball. Therefore, the adhesion of the transfer layer to the golf ball surface is improved and the impact resistance is improved as compared with the case where the transparent ink coating portion covers only the entire surface of the colored ink coating portion.

その際に、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質は有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩及びゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされるため、光の反射率が低い有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、有色インキ塗膜部分を背にすることで光沢発現性物質が観察され易く、光の反射率が高いゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、ゴルフボール表面を背にすることで透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質が観察されにくくなる。このため、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質によってゴルフボールの表面の色彩と有色インキ塗膜部分の色彩との間における鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることがなくなり、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質と有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩とが組み合わされる場所においては、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   At that time, since the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating portion is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion and the color of the golf ball surface, it is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion having a low light reflectance. In a place where the colored ink coating portion is placed on the back, it is easy to observe the gloss developing substance, and in a place combined with the color of the golf ball surface where the light reflectance is high, the golf ball surface is placed on the back. It becomes difficult to observe the glossy substance in the transparent ink coating film portion. For this reason, the vivid visual contrast between the color of the surface of the golf ball and the color of the colored ink coating portion is not impaired by the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating portion, and the transparent ink coating portion In places where the gloss developing material and the colored ink coating part unique colors are combined, a marking is formed on the golf ball surface where the colored ink coating part appears shining with the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating part. Therefore, it is possible to provide a golf ball that emits a gloss with a high-class feeling that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion and that is excellent in appearance.

次に、請求項3に記載の発明によれば、フィルム基材上に光沢発現性物質の粉体を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分を設け、該透明インキ塗膜部分の上に所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分を、両塗膜部分の縁部同士が一致する状態に設けて、所定のマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成された転写フィルムを作製した後、上記マーキングの側をゴルフボール表面に向けて位置合せをした状態で転写フィルムをフィルム基材の側からゴルフボール表面に加熱下で圧着し、然る後にフィルム基材を除去することで、ゴルフボール表面には上記請求項1に記載のマーキングと同様の構成のマーキングが得られる。すなわち、有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質とが組み合わされるため、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   Next, according to the third aspect of the present invention, a transparent ink coating film portion containing the gloss-expressing substance powder is provided on the film substrate, and a predetermined color is formed on the transparent ink coating film portion. A colored ink coating film part is provided in a state in which the edges of both coating film parts coincide with each other, and after producing a transfer film in which a predetermined marking is formed on a film substrate, the marking side is placed on the golf ball surface. The transfer film is pressure-bonded to the golf ball surface from the side of the film base material under heating while being aligned toward the surface of the golf ball. A marking with the same configuration as the described marking is obtained. In other words, the unique color of the colored ink coating part is combined with the glossy substance of the transparent ink coating part, so the colored ink coating part appears to be shining with the glossy substance of the transparent ink coating part. It is possible to provide a golf ball that is configured on the surface of the ball and has a high-quality gloss that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion, and that is excellent in appearance.

そして、請求項4に記載の発明によれば、請求項3に記載の転写フィルムと類似の転写フィルムであるが、透明インキ塗膜部分の上に所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分を、上記透明インキ塗膜部分の縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分の縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分の周辺部に位置する状態に設けて、所定のマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成された転写フィルムを作製した後、上記マーキングの側をゴルフボール表面に向けて位置合せをした状態で転写フィルムをフィルム基材の側からゴルフボール表面に加熱下で圧着し、然る後にフィルム基材を除去することで、ゴルフボール表面には上記請求項2に記載のマーキングと同様の構成のマーキングが得られる。すなわち、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分だけでなくその周囲のゴルフボールの表面にも密着するため、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分の全面のみを覆う場合と比較して、転写層のゴルフボールに対する付着性が向上し、耐衝撃性が向上する。その際に、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質は有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩及びゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされるため、光の反射率が低い有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、有色インキ塗膜部分を背にすることで光沢発現性物質が観察され易く、光の反射率が高いゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、ゴルフボール表面を背にすることで透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質が観察されにくくなる。このため、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質によってゴルフボールの表面の色彩と有色インキ塗膜部分の色彩との間における鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることがなくなり、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質と有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩とが組み合わされる場所においては、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   And according to invention of Claim 4, although it is a transfer film similar to the transfer film of Claim 3, the colored ink coating film part of a predetermined color on the transparent ink coating film part, A transfer film in which the edge of the transparent ink coating film part is located in the peripheral part of the colored ink coating film part beyond the edge of the colored ink coating film part, and a predetermined marking is formed on the film substrate After that, the transfer film is pressure-bonded under heat from the film base side to the golf ball surface with the marking side facing the golf ball surface, and then the film base is removed. Thus, the marking having the same configuration as the marking according to claim 2 is obtained on the golf ball surface. That is, since the transparent ink coating part adheres not only to the colored ink coating part but also to the surrounding golf ball surface, the transparent ink coating part covers only the entire surface of the colored ink coating part. The adhesion of the transfer layer to the golf ball is improved, and the impact resistance is improved. At that time, since the gloss developing substance in the transparent ink coating portion is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion and the color of the golf ball surface, it is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion having a low light reflectance. In a place where the colored ink coating portion is placed on the back, it is easy to observe the gloss developing substance, and in a place combined with the color of the golf ball surface where the light reflectance is high, the golf ball surface is placed on the back. It becomes difficult to observe the gloss-expressing substance in the transparent ink coating film part. For this reason, the vivid visual contrast between the color of the surface of the golf ball and the color of the colored ink coating portion is not impaired by the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating portion, In places where the gloss developing material and the colored ink coating part unique colors are combined, a marking is formed on the golf ball surface where the colored ink coating part appears to shine with the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating part. Therefore, it is possible to provide a golf ball that emits a gloss with a high-class feeling that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion, and that is excellent in appearance.

また、転写フィルムを作製する際にフィルム基材上に設けられた透明インキ塗膜部分の上に有色インキ塗膜部分を印刷するとき、透明インキ塗膜部分の全面のみを覆う状態で有色インキ塗膜部分を上から印刷する場合と比較して、有色インキ塗膜部分の位置が多少ずれても透明インキ塗膜部分を逸脱しない限り有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質が確実に重なり合う。   In addition, when the colored ink coating portion is printed on the transparent ink coating portion provided on the film substrate when the transfer film is produced, the colored ink coating is applied so as to cover only the entire surface of the transparent ink coating portion. Compared with the case where the film part is printed from the top, even if the position of the colored ink film part is slightly shifted, the colored color of the colored ink film part and the gloss of the transparent ink film part are not deviated from the transparent ink film part. The expressed substances are surely overlapped.

次に、請求項5に記載の発明によれば、転写フィルムの転写層が、フィルム基材上に、光沢発現性物質の粉体を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分と、所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分とが、両塗膜部分の縁部同士が一致する状態で、この順に設けられて、ゴルフボールに転写するマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成されていることで、上記転写フィルムによりゴルフボールの表面に得られるマーキングは上記請求項1に記載のマーキングと同様の構成のマーキングが得られる。すなわち、有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質とが組み合わされるマーキングが得られるため、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   Next, according to the invention described in claim 5, the transfer layer of the transfer film comprises a transparent ink coating film portion containing a gloss developing substance powder on the film substrate, and a colored ink having a predetermined color. The coating film portion is provided in this order in a state in which the edges of both coating film portions coincide with each other, and the marking to be transferred to the golf ball is formed on the film base. The marking obtained on the surface of the ball is a marking having the same structure as the marking according to claim 1. In other words, since the marking that combines the unique color of the colored ink coating part and the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating part is obtained, the colored ink coating part shines with the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating part. By forming visible markings on the surface of the golf ball, it is possible to provide a high-quality golf ball that emits high-quality luster that is difficult to achieve with conventional colored ink portions alone.

そして、請求項6に記載の発明によれば、請求項5に記載の転写フィルムと類似の転写フィルムであるが、透明インキ塗膜部分と、有色インキ塗膜部分とが、上記透明インキ塗膜部分の縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分の縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分の周辺部に位置する状態で、この順に設けられて、ゴルフボールに転写するマーキングがフィルム基材上に形成されていることで、上記転写フィルムによりゴルフボール表面に得られるマーキングは、上記請求項2に記載のマーキングと同様の構成のマーキングが得られる。すなわち、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分だけでなくその周囲のゴルフボールの表面にも密着するため、透明インキ塗膜部分が有色インキ塗膜部分の全面のみを覆う場合と比較して、転写層のゴルフボールの表面に対する付着性が向上し、耐衝撃性が向上する。その際に、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質は有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩及びゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされるため、光の反射率が低い有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、有色インキ塗膜部分を背にすることで光沢発現性物質が観察され易く、光の反射率が高いゴルフボール表面の色彩と組み合わされる場所では、ゴルフボール表面を背にすることで透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質が観察されにくくなる。このため、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質によってゴルフボールの表面の色彩と有色インキ塗膜部分の色彩との間における鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることがなくなり、透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質と有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩とが組み合わされる場所においては、有色インキ塗膜部分が透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質により輝いて見えるマーキングをゴルフボール表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   And according to invention of Claim 6, although it is a transfer film similar to the transfer film of Claim 5, a transparent ink coating-film part and a colored ink coating-film part are the said transparent ink coating films. Marking to be transferred to the golf ball is formed on the film substrate in such a state that the edge of the part is located in the peripheral part of the colored ink coating part beyond the edge of the colored ink coating part. Therefore, the marking obtained on the golf ball surface by the transfer film can be a marking having the same configuration as the marking according to claim 2. That is, since the transparent ink coating part adheres not only to the colored ink coating part but also to the surrounding golf ball surface, the transparent ink coating part covers only the entire surface of the colored ink coating part. The adhesion of the transfer layer to the surface of the golf ball is improved, and the impact resistance is improved. At that time, since the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating portion is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion and the color of the golf ball surface, it is combined with the color of the colored ink coating portion having a low light reflectance. In a place where the colored ink coating portion is placed on the back, it is easy to observe the gloss developing substance, and in a place combined with the color of the golf ball surface where the light reflectance is high, the golf ball surface is placed on the back. It becomes difficult to observe the glossy substance in the transparent ink coating film portion. For this reason, the vivid visual contrast between the color of the surface of the golf ball and the color of the colored ink coating portion is not impaired by the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating portion, and the transparent ink coating portion In places where the gloss developing material and the colored ink coating part unique colors are combined, a marking is formed on the golf ball surface where the colored ink coating part appears shining with the gloss developing substance of the transparent ink coating part. Therefore, it is possible to provide a golf ball that emits a gloss with a high-class feeling that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion and that is excellent in appearance.

また、転写フィルムを作製する際にフィルム基材上に設けられた透明インキ塗膜部分の上に有色インキ塗膜部分を印刷するとき、透明インキ塗膜部分の全面のみを覆う状態で有色インキ塗膜部分を上から印刷する場合と比較して、有色インキ塗膜部分の位置が多少ずれても透明インキ塗膜部分を逸脱しない限り有色インキ塗膜部分独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分の光沢発現性物質とが確実に重なり合う。   In addition, when the colored ink coating portion is printed on the transparent ink coating portion provided on the film substrate when the transfer film is produced, the colored ink coating is applied so as to cover only the entire surface of the transparent ink coating portion. Compared with the case where the film part is printed from the top, even if the position of the colored ink film part is slightly shifted, the colored color of the colored ink film part and the gloss of the transparent ink film part are not deviated from the transparent ink film part. It is sure to overlap with expressive substances.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面に基いて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本実施形態に係るマーキングが施されたゴルフボール1の外観を示しており、該ゴルフボール1においては、その表面にマーキングMが転写されている。マーキングMは、数字の「1」の形のマークが表示されたものであって、該マークは、「1」の文字内部の領域が、黒色の印刷インキが塗布されてなる有色インキ塗膜部分3aで構成され、「1」の文字の外側の領域及び上記有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上側表面の領域が、光沢発現性物質の粉体として例えばアルミ粉等の金属粉を含有して印刷インキでは実現し難い金属光沢を発する透明インキ塗膜部分3bで構成されている。   FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a golf ball 1 that has been marked according to the present embodiment, and the marking M is transferred to the surface of the golf ball 1. The marking M is a mark in the form of a numeral “1”, and the mark is a colored ink coating film portion in which a black printing ink is applied to an area inside the character “1”. 3a, and the region outside the character "1" and the region on the upper surface of the colored ink coating portion 3a contains a metallic powder such as aluminum powder as a glossy substance powder. Then, it is comprised by the transparent ink coating-film part 3b which emits the metallic luster which is hard to implement | achieve.

それゆえ、このマーキングMの、黒色インキ部分を形成する有色インキ塗膜部分3aと金属光沢部分を形成する透明インキ塗膜部分3bとの相互に異質な外観を有する部分同士の組合せ・重ね合せでなる部分は、有色インキ塗膜部分3aが透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢により輝いて見える。   Therefore, in this marking M, the colored ink coating portion 3a that forms the black ink portion and the transparent ink coating portion 3b that forms the metallic luster portion are combined / overlapped with portions having different appearances. The colored ink coating portion 3a appears to shine due to the metallic luster of the transparent ink coating portion 3b.

しかもこれらの二つの部分が別々に仕切られることなく黒色インキ部分の上に金属光沢部分が見える状態で積層されているので、「1」の文字内部の黒インキが塗布された部分の色彩と、「1」の文字の外側周囲及び上側表面の金属光沢部分とのそれぞれの視覚的効果が相乗的に強調される。その結果、このゴルフボール1は、マーキングMが、光の反射率が低い黒インキを背にすることで透明インキ塗膜部分3bが含有する金属光沢部分がより鮮明に輝いて見え、光の反射率が高い白色のゴルフボール表面を背にすることでゴルフボール1の表面に直接接着している透明インキ塗膜部分3bが含有する金属光沢部分は観察されにくくなり、ゴルフボール1の表面の色彩と有色インキ塗膜部分3aの色彩との間における鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることがないため、従来にない見栄えを有したゴルフボールとして提供される。その意味でインキ塗膜部分の色は黒に限らず、紺や濃紺などの光の反射率が比較的低い色が好ましい。   Moreover, since these two parts are laminated in a state where the metallic gloss part can be seen on the black ink part without being partitioned separately, the color of the part where the black ink inside the character “1” is applied, The respective visual effects of the outer perimeter of the “1” character and the metallic luster on the upper surface are synergistically enhanced. As a result, in the golf ball 1, the marking M has a black ink having a low light reflectance on the back, so that the metallic gloss portion contained in the transparent ink coating film portion 3b appears brighter and the light reflection By turning the surface of the white golf ball having a high rate to the back, the metallic gloss portion contained in the transparent ink coating portion 3b directly adhered to the surface of the golf ball 1 is difficult to be observed, and the color of the surface of the golf ball 1 is reduced. Since the vivid visual contrast between the color and the color of the colored ink coating film portion 3a is not impaired, it is provided as a golf ball having an unprecedented appearance. In that sense, the color of the ink coating film is not limited to black, and a color having a relatively low light reflectance such as a dark blue or dark blue is preferable.

次に、図2は図1に例示したゴルフボール1の表面におけるマーキング部の層構成を示しており、該ゴルフボール1の表面には転写層3が接着している。該転写層3はゴルフボール1の表面に有色インキ塗膜部分3aが接着し、該有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上側表面及び周囲のゴルフボール1の表面にアルミ等の金属粉を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分3bが接着して、有色インキ塗膜部分3aと透明インキ塗膜部分3bとが積層されている。マーキングMは、湾曲しかつ多数のディンプルD…Dのあるゴルフボール1の表面に沿って良好に密着している。     Next, FIG. 2 shows the layer structure of the marking portion on the surface of the golf ball 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, and the transfer layer 3 is adhered to the surface of the golf ball 1. The transfer layer 3 has a colored ink coating portion 3a adhered to the surface of the golf ball 1, and a transparent ink containing metal powder such as aluminum on the upper surface of the colored ink coating portion 3a and the surface of the surrounding golf ball 1. The coating film portion 3b is adhered, and the colored ink coating film portion 3a and the transparent ink coating film portion 3b are laminated. The marking M is well adhered along the surface of the golf ball 1 which is curved and has a large number of dimples D.

このため、マーキングMの、黒色インキ部分を形成する有色インキ塗膜部分3aと金属光沢部分を形成する透明インキ塗膜部分3bとの相互に異質な外観を有する部分同士の組合せ・重ね合せでなる部分は、有色インキ塗膜部分3aが透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢により輝いて見える。   For this reason, the marking M consists of a combination / superposition of portions having different appearances of the colored ink coating portion 3a forming the black ink portion and the transparent ink coating portion 3b forming the metallic gloss portion. In the portion, the colored ink coating portion 3a appears to shine due to the metallic luster of the transparent ink coating portion 3b.

転写層3における透明インキ塗膜部分3bをゴルフボール1の外側から見たときには、光の反射率が低い黒色のインキ塗膜部分3aを背にしているため、アルミ等の金属粉による鮮明な金属光沢が観察される。   When the transparent ink coating portion 3b in the transfer layer 3 is viewed from the outside of the golf ball 1, the black ink coating portion 3a having a low light reflectance is placed on the back, so that a clear metal made of metal powder such as aluminum is used. A gloss is observed.

また、透明インキ塗膜部分3bが有色インキ塗膜部分3aだけでなくその周囲のゴルフボール1の表面にも密着するため、透明インキ塗膜部分3bが有色インキ塗膜部分3aの全面のみを覆う場合と比較して、転写層3のゴルフボール1の表面に対する付着性が向上し、耐衝撃性が向上する。その際に、同じ透明インキ塗膜部分3bでも、黒色の有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上側表面に積層している部分ではなく光の反射率が高いゴルフボール1に直接接触している部分は、反射性の大きい白色のゴルフボール本体を背にしているため、アルミ等の金属粉による金属光沢の視覚的な効果は黒色のインキ塗膜部分3aを背にしている部分と比較して観察されにくく、ゴルフボール1の白色表面の色彩がそのまま維持されて良好に透視される。このため、ゴルフボール1の表面の白色と図柄Pにおけるインキ塗膜部分3aの黒色ないし透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢との間の鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることはない。   Further, since the transparent ink coating portion 3b adheres not only to the colored ink coating portion 3a but also to the surface of the surrounding golf ball 1, the transparent ink coating portion 3b covers only the entire surface of the colored ink coating portion 3a. Compared to the case, the adhesion of the transfer layer 3 to the surface of the golf ball 1 is improved, and the impact resistance is improved. At that time, even in the same transparent ink coating film portion 3b, the portion that is in direct contact with the golf ball 1 having high light reflectance, not the portion laminated on the upper surface of the black colored ink coating film portion 3a, Because of the back of a white golf ball body with high reflectivity, the visual effect of metallic luster due to metal powder such as aluminum is less likely to be observed compared to the part with the black ink coating 3a as the back. The color of the white surface of the golf ball 1 is maintained as it is and is seen through well. For this reason, the vivid visual contrast between the white color of the surface of the golf ball 1 and the black color of the ink coating portion 3a or the metallic gloss of the transparent ink coating portion 3b in the pattern P is not impaired.

次に、図1に示した本発明に係るマーキングされたゴルフボールの製造工程について説明する。   Next, the manufacturing process of the marked golf ball according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

ゴルフボールのマーキングを行う際には、例えばグラビア印刷又はスクリーン印刷によりフィルム基材2上にアルミ等の金属粉を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分3bを印刷し、該透明インキ塗膜部分の上に所定の色彩の有色インキ塗膜部分3aを、上記透明インキ塗膜部分3bの縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分3aの縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分3bの周辺部に位置する状態に印刷して転写フィルムFを作製し、シリコーンラバー製のパッドSを用いて転写フィルムFの有色インキ塗膜部分3aをゴルフボール1の表面に接触又は近接させた状態で転写フィルムFとゴルフボール1とを加熱下で圧着し、然る後にフィルム基材2を除去するように行う。   When marking a golf ball, for example, a transparent ink coating portion 3b containing metal powder such as aluminum is printed on the film substrate 2 by gravure printing or screen printing, and the transparent ink coating portion is formed on the transparent ink coating portion. The colored ink coating portion 3a of a predetermined color is printed in a state where the edge of the transparent ink coating portion 3b exceeds the edge of the colored ink coating portion 3a and is located around the colored ink coating portion 3b. The transfer film F is prepared, and the transfer film F and the golf ball 1 are placed in a state where the colored ink coating portion 3a of the transfer film F is in contact with or close to the surface of the golf ball 1 using the pad S made of silicone rubber. The film substrate 2 is subjected to pressure bonding under heating, and then the film substrate 2 is removed.

まず、図3はフィルム基材2の上にアルミ等の金属粉を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分3bを印刷し、上記透明インキ塗膜部分3bの縁部が有色インキ塗膜部分3aの縁部を超えて有色インキ塗膜部分3aの周辺部に位置するように透明インキ塗膜部分3bの縁部から間隔Rだけあけた範囲内に黒色の印刷インキからなる有色インキ塗膜部分3aを上から印刷して転写フィルムFを作製した状態を示している。   First, FIG. 3 prints a transparent ink coating portion 3b containing metal powder such as aluminum on the film substrate 2, and the edge of the transparent ink coating portion 3b is the edge of the colored ink coating portion 3a. The colored ink coating portion 3a made of black printing ink from the top within a range R apart from the edge of the transparent ink coating portion 3b so as to be located in the periphery of the colored ink coating portion 3a beyond The state which printed and produced the transfer film F is shown.

ここで、フィルム基材2としては、被印刷物としてのゴルフボール1への転写時における耐熱性及び耐圧性の観点からOPP(二軸延伸ポリプロピレン)フィルムが好ましく用いられる。フィルム基材2上には、例えばグラビア印刷又はスクリーン印刷等を行うことで、「1」の文字のマークが表示される領域を透明印刷インキ及び黒色の印刷インキで塗りつぶすように塗布し、透明インキ塗膜部分3b及び有色インキ塗膜部分3aを形成する。このときの透明印刷インキには金属粉が含まれており、該金属粉としては例えばアルミ粉が好ましく用いられる。以上により、フィルム基材2上に透明インキ塗膜部分3bからなる層と有色インキ塗膜部分3aからなる層とを有する転写フィルムFが得られる。   Here, as the film substrate 2, an OPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film is preferably used from the viewpoints of heat resistance and pressure resistance during transfer to the golf ball 1 as a printing material. On the film substrate 2, for example, by performing gravure printing or screen printing, the region where the mark of the character “1” is displayed is applied so as to be filled with transparent printing ink and black printing ink. A coating film portion 3b and a colored ink coating film portion 3a are formed. The transparent printing ink at this time contains metal powder, and for example, aluminum powder is preferably used as the metal powder. By the above, the transfer film F which has the layer which consists of the transparent ink coating-film part 3b and the layer which consists of the colored ink coating-film part 3a on the film base material 2 is obtained.

転写フィルムFを作製する際にフィルム基材2上に設けられた透明インキ塗膜部分3bの上に有色インキ塗膜部分3aを印刷するとき、透明インキ塗膜部分3bの全面のみを覆う状態で有色インキ塗膜部分3aを上から印刷する場合と比較して、有色インキ塗膜部分3aの位置が多少ずれても透明インキ塗膜部分3bを逸脱しない限り有色インキ塗膜部分3a独自の色彩と透明インキ塗膜部分の金属光沢とが確実に重なり合う。   When the colored ink coating portion 3a is printed on the transparent ink coating portion 3b provided on the film substrate 2 when the transfer film F is produced, only the entire surface of the transparent ink coating portion 3b is covered. Compared with the case where the colored ink coating portion 3a is printed from above, the colored ink coating portion 3a has its own color as long as it does not deviate from the transparent ink coating portion 3b even if the position of the colored ink coating portion 3a is slightly shifted. The metallic luster of the transparent ink coating part overlaps with certainty.

ここで、上記黒色の印刷インキ及び透明印刷インキは、シルクスクリーンインキであり、その配合の組成は例えば以下の通りである。   Here, the black printing ink and the transparent printing ink are silk screen inks, and the composition of the blend is, for example, as follows.

まず、有色インキ塗膜部分3aを形成する黒色印刷インキの組成は、顔料が5〜50%(重量%以下同じ)で、ウレタン樹脂が15〜30%で、溶剤が35〜65%である。顔料の組成が5%を下回ると有色インキ塗膜部分3a独自の色彩が薄くなり、50%を上回るとインキの流動性が損なわれ、また、有色インキ塗膜部分3aが脆くなる恐れがある。   First, the composition of the black printing ink which forms the colored ink coating film part 3a is 5 to 50% (the same as the weight percent) of the pigment, 15 to 30% of the urethane resin, and 35 to 65% of the solvent. If the composition of the pigment is less than 5%, the color unique to the colored ink coating portion 3a becomes thin, and if it exceeds 50%, the fluidity of the ink is impaired, and the colored ink coating portion 3a may become brittle.

そして、透明インキ塗膜部分3bを形成する外観がメタリック調である透明印刷インキの組成は、アルミ粉や複合物等のメタリック顔料が0.1〜30%で、ウレタン樹脂が20〜35%で、溶剤が50〜65%である。   And the composition of the transparent printing ink whose appearance which forms the transparent ink coating-film part 3b is a metallic tone is 0.1-30% for metallic pigments, such as aluminum powder and a composite, and 20-35% for urethane resin. The solvent is 50 to 65%.

メタリック顔料の組成が0.1パーセントを下回ると透明インキ塗膜部分3bにおいて金属光沢が観察されにくく、30%を上回ると有色インキ塗膜部分3aが透明インキ塗膜部分3bの上から透視されにくくなり、黒色の印刷インキとの色合いのバランスが悪くなる。また、アルミ等の金属粉や複合物等の光沢発現性物質の粉体は、膜厚が100μmである透明インキ塗膜部分3bとのバランスを考慮すると、10〜60μmの大きさの径が好ましい。粉体の径は10μmを下回ると黒色の印刷インキ独自の色彩と金属光沢との視覚的効果が均一に目に飛び込んでこず、60μmを上回ると透明インキ塗膜部分3bの表面に凸凹が生じるようになる。   When the composition of the metallic pigment is less than 0.1%, metallic luster is hardly observed in the transparent ink coating portion 3b, and when it exceeds 30%, the colored ink coating portion 3a is not easily seen through the transparent ink coating portion 3b. Thus, the color balance with the black printing ink is deteriorated. In addition, the metal powder such as aluminum and the powder of gloss developing material such as a composite preferably have a diameter of 10 to 60 μm in consideration of the balance with the transparent ink coating film portion 3 b having a film thickness of 100 μm. . If the diameter of the powder is less than 10 μm, the visual effect of the black printing ink's unique color and metallic luster will not appear evenly in the eyes, and if it exceeds 60 μm, the surface of the transparent ink coating portion 3 b will be uneven. It becomes like this.

なお、上記黒色印刷インキ及び透明印刷インキに使用する溶剤の組成は、シクロヘキサンが40%で、高沸点芳香族炭化水素が30%で、ジアセトンアルコールが30%であり、透明印刷インキにおけるメタリック顔料の割合は0.4%である。   The composition of the solvent used in the black printing ink and the transparent printing ink is 40% cyclohexane, 30% high-boiling aromatic hydrocarbons, 30% diacetone alcohol, and metallic pigment in the transparent printing ink. The ratio is 0.4%.

そして、図4は得られた転写フィルムFを用いて、例えばホットスタンプ法等によりゴルフボール1の表面にマーキングMを転写している状態を示している。 すなわち、転写フィルムFの転写層3側をゴルフボール1の表面に近接又は接触させた状態で、フィルム基材2側から加熱したシリコーンラバー製のパッドS等により転写温度120℃で1秒間転写フィルムFをゴルフボール1に押し付けて加圧する。そして、フィルム基材2を剥離することにより、図2に示したように、被印刷物としてのゴルフボール1に対して変形等の熱的損傷を与えることなく、湾曲しかつディンプルD…Dのある表面に沿って有色インキ塗膜部分3a及び透明インキ塗膜部分3bが良好に転写される。   FIG. 4 shows a state in which the marking M is transferred to the surface of the golf ball 1 by using the obtained transfer film F, for example, by a hot stamp method or the like. That is, with the transfer layer 3 side of the transfer film F close to or in contact with the surface of the golf ball 1, the transfer film is transferred for 1 second at a transfer temperature of 120 ° C. with a silicone rubber pad S or the like heated from the film base 2 side. F is pressed against the golf ball 1 to pressurize it. Then, by peeling off the film substrate 2, as shown in FIG. 2, the golf ball 1 as a printing object is curved and has dimples D ... D without causing thermal damage such as deformation. The colored ink coating portion 3a and the transparent ink coating portion 3b are well transferred along the surface.

ゴルフボール1の表面に得られたマーキングMは、ゴルフボール1の表面に黒色の有色インキ塗膜部分3aが設けられ、該有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上にアルミ等の金属粉を含有する透明インキ塗膜部分3bが有色インキ塗膜部分3aの全面及び周辺のゴルフボール1の表面を覆う状態で設けられていることで、透明インキ塗膜部分3bが有色インキ塗膜部分3aだけでなくその周辺のゴルフボール1の表面にも密着するので、透明インキ塗膜部分3bが有色インキ塗膜部分3aの全面のみを覆う場合と比較して、転写層3のゴルフボール1の表面に対する付着性が向上し、耐衝撃性が向上する。その際に、透明インキ塗膜部分3bによる金属光沢部分は有色インキ塗膜部分3a独自の色彩及びゴルフボール1表面の色彩と融合されるため、有色インキ塗膜部分3a独自の色彩と融合される場所では、光の反射性が少ない有色インキ塗膜部分3aを背にすることで金属光沢部分が観察され易く、ゴルフボール1の表面の色彩と融合される場所では、光の反射性が大きいゴルフボール1の表面を背にすることで透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢部分が観察されにくくなる。   The marking M obtained on the surface of the golf ball 1 is provided with a black colored ink coating film portion 3a on the surface of the golf ball 1, and a transparent material containing metal powder such as aluminum on the colored ink coating film portion 3a. By providing the ink coating portion 3b so as to cover the entire surface of the colored ink coating portion 3a and the surface of the surrounding golf ball 1, the transparent ink coating portion 3b is not limited to the colored ink coating portion 3a. Since it adheres to the surface of the surrounding golf ball 1 as well, the adhesion of the transfer layer 3 to the surface of the golf ball 1 is greater than when the transparent ink coating portion 3b covers only the entire surface of the colored ink coating portion 3a. Improves impact resistance. At that time, the metallic glossy portion of the transparent ink coating portion 3b is fused with the color of the colored ink coating portion 3a and the color of the surface of the golf ball 1, so that it is fused with the color of the colored ink coating portion 3a. A golf ball having a high light reflectivity in a place where the metallic gloss portion is easily observed by placing the colored ink coating portion 3a having a low light reflectivity in the place, and is fused with the color of the surface of the golf ball 1. By making the surface of the ball 1 back, the metallic gloss portion of the transparent ink coating film portion 3b becomes difficult to be observed.

このため、透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢部分によってゴルフボール1の表面の色彩と有色インキ塗膜部分3aの色彩との間における鮮やかな視覚的対比が損なわれることがなくなり、透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢部分と有色インキ塗膜部分3a独自の色彩とが組み合わされる場所においては、有色インキ塗膜部分3aが透明インキ塗膜部分3bの金属光沢により輝いて見えるマーキングMをゴルフボール1の表面に構成して、従来の有色インキ部分だけでは実現し難い高級感のある金属光沢を発し、見栄えに優れたゴルフボールを提供することが可能となる。   Therefore, the vivid visual contrast between the color of the surface of the golf ball 1 and the color of the colored ink coating portion 3a is not impaired by the metallic gloss portion of the transparent ink coating portion 3b. In a place where the metallic luster portion of the portion 3b and the unique color of the colored ink coating portion 3a are combined, the marking M on which the colored ink coating portion 3a appears to shine by the metallic luster of the transparent ink coating portion 3b is marked on the golf ball 1 Thus, it is possible to provide a golf ball having a high-quality metallic luster that is difficult to achieve with only a conventional colored ink portion and having an excellent appearance.

なお、図3の転写フィルムFの構成に加えて、図5に示す転写フィルムF′のように、フィルム基材2と転写層3との間に離型層4を設け、有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上に接着層5を設け、フィルム基材の透明インキ塗膜部分3bを印刷した側とは反対側の面にピーロイル離型層6を設けてもよい。   In addition to the structure of the transfer film F in FIG. 3, a release layer 4 is provided between the film substrate 2 and the transfer layer 3 as in the transfer film F ′ shown in FIG. The adhesive layer 5 may be provided on 3a, and the pyroyl release layer 6 may be provided on the surface of the film base opposite to the side on which the transparent ink coating portion 3b is printed.

フィルム基材2と透明インキ塗膜部分3bとの間に離型層4を設けることで、ゴルフボール1の表面に転写されるべき転写層3が円滑にフィルム基材2から剥離し、マーキングMに欠損が生じたり、転写性が低下したりすることがなくなる。そして、有色インキ塗膜部分3aの上に接着層5を設けることで、転写の際に転写層3がゴルフボール1の表面に確実に接着し、転写を仕損じたりすることがなくなる。また、フィルム基材2の透明インキ塗膜部分3bを設けた側とは反対側の面にピーロイル離型層6を設けたことにより、転写フィルムFをロール状に巻き付ける際に、フィルム基材2の透明インキ塗膜部分3bを設けた側とは反対側の面に有色インキ塗膜部分3aのインキが付着することが回避される。   By providing the release layer 4 between the film substrate 2 and the transparent ink coating portion 3b, the transfer layer 3 to be transferred to the surface of the golf ball 1 is smoothly peeled off from the film substrate 2, and marking M There will be no defects in the film and transferability will not deteriorate. Then, by providing the adhesive layer 5 on the colored ink coating portion 3a, the transfer layer 3 is securely adhered to the surface of the golf ball 1 during the transfer, and the transfer is not damaged. Further, by providing the pyroyl release layer 6 on the surface opposite to the side on which the transparent ink coating film portion 3b of the film substrate 2 is provided, when the transfer film F is wound in a roll shape, the film substrate 2 This prevents the ink of the colored ink coating portion 3a from adhering to the surface opposite to the side on which the transparent ink coating portion 3b is provided.

離型層4には樹脂が用いられるが、樹脂の種類は特に限定されず、従来より一般にプラスチックパーツ等への図柄や文字等のマーキングの印刷に広く用いられる転写フィルムに使用される離型性を有するものが種々利用可能である。また、接着層5には熱可塑性樹脂が用いられるが、その種類は特に限定されるものではなく、加熱、加圧した際のゴルフボール1への接着性が良好であるものが種々利用可能である。そして、ピ−ロイル離型層6には背面離型コート剤が好ましく用いられる。   Resin is used for the release layer 4, but the type of resin is not particularly limited, and releasability used for transfer films generally used for printing of markings such as symbols and characters on plastic parts, etc. There are various types of devices having In addition, a thermoplastic resin is used for the adhesive layer 5, but the type thereof is not particularly limited, and various adhesives that have good adhesion to the golf ball 1 when heated and pressurized can be used. is there. For the pyroyl release layer 6, a back release coating agent is preferably used.

なお、光沢発現性物質としては、本実施形態で用いたアルミ粉だけに限らず、金粉、銀粉、銅粉、鉄粉等の金属粉や、薄片状ないし鱗片状の雲母の表面を酸化鉄で被覆した複合物や、或いは真珠粉、貝殻粉、鱗片粉、羽鱗粉等の天然又は人工飼育の魚介類等の生物組織粉、雲母等の鉱物組織粉、合成パール顔料等のうちの一種又は二種以上を組み合わせたものを用いてもよい。これらを光沢発現性物質として用いて試験を行ってみたが、いずれの場合でも良好な結果が得られた。   The gloss-expressing substance is not limited to the aluminum powder used in the present embodiment, but metal powder such as gold powder, silver powder, copper powder, and iron powder, and the surface of flaky or scaly mica is made of iron oxide. One or two of a coated composite, or a biological tissue powder such as natural or artificially raised seafood such as pearl powder, shell powder, scale powder, feather scale powder, mineral tissue powder such as mica, synthetic pearl pigment, etc. You may use what combined the seed | species or more. Tests were conducted using these as gloss-expressing substances, and good results were obtained in all cases.

以上のように、本発明によれば、転写フィルムにより所定のマーキングが付与されたゴルフボール及びその製造方法及びゴルフボール製造用の転写フィルムにおいて、マーキングの有色インキ塗膜部分に高級感のある金属光沢部分を重ねて積層し、インキ独自の色彩と該金属光沢部分との異質な外観を有する部分同士を融合・混合することで従来にない見栄えのゴルフボールを提供することが可能となり、ゴルフボール、特に、転写フィルムにより所望の図柄のマーキングが付与されたゴルフボールのマーク付けの技術分野に広く好適である。   As described above, according to the present invention, in a golf ball having a predetermined marking imparted by a transfer film, a method for producing the same, and a transfer film for producing a golf ball, the colored ink coating portion of the marking has a high-grade metal. It is possible to provide a golf ball with an unprecedented appearance by laminating the glossy parts and fusing and mixing the parts having a different color appearance with the original color of the ink and the metallic glossy part. In particular, the present invention is widely suitable for the technical field of marking a golf ball to which a desired pattern marking is provided by a transfer film.
