Abstract
A golf ball is provided which bears a mark having a distinct appearance unrealizable by only changing in tint. Ink can be prepared by mixing one or more than two components which can afford luster such as pearl particles, shell particles, mica particles and the like in an ink medium. Thereafter the ink can be used for marking the surface of the golf ball by an indirect printing used with a transfer printing film or a direct printing such as a pad printing, a screen printing and the like. The composition of the ink is 5 to 150 parts by weight of the mica, pearl particles and the like. The mica, the pearl particles and the like are employed for flat forms.
