Claim One:
1. A method for printing an image at multiple locations on a golf ball, the method comprising: stamping a plurality of locations of the exterior surface of the golf ball with ultraviolet ink in the form of an image to generate a golf ball with the image at a plurality of locations; transferring the golf ball with the image at the plurality of locations to a curing station; curing the golf ball with the image at a plurality of locations at the curing station using ultraviolet energy to generate a cured golf ball with the image at a plurality of locations; transferring and priming the cured golf ball with the image at the plurality of locations at a priming station to create a primed golf ball; transferring the primed golf ball to an oven curing station and curing the primed golf ball at the oven curing station to create an oven cured golf ball; transferring the oven cured golf ball to a printing station; stamping ultraviolet ink in the form of the image at a first pole of the golf ball with the image at the plurality of locations to generate a single pole-stamped golf ball; stamping ultraviolet ink in the form of the image at a second pole of the cured single pole stamped golf ball to generate a dual pole stamped golf ball; transferring the dual pole stamped golf ball to the curing station; curing the dual pole-stamped golf ball at the curing station using ultraviolet energy to generate a cured dual pole-stamped golf ball; transferring the cured dual pole-stamped golf ball to a clear coat station; applying a clear coat to the cured dual pole-stamped golf ball to generate a clear coat golf ball; transferring the clear coat golf ball to an oven curing station; and curing the clear coat golf ball at the oven curing station to generate a finished golf ball.
