Abstract:
1. A method of tamp printing using at least one tamp pad having at least a convex side and a concave side on a piece having a plurality of boundary surfaces forming angles in relation to one another, the method comprising the steps of: compressing the at least one tamp pad against a first boundary surface; causing the convex side of the at least one tamp pad to deform by the compression, the deformation of the convex side causing printing of at least one picture in a first direction against the first boundary surface of the plurality of boundary surfaces; and causing at least a portion of the concave side of the at least one tamp pad to deform by the compression into a non-concave shape, and printing therefrom of at least one picture in a second direction against a second boundary surface of the plurality of boundary surfaces.
