Abstract: The invention is concerned with a process of producing transfer printing papers for thermally applying colored, in particular, varicolored images, letters and/or decorations on items retaining their shape at high firing temperatures, in particular, of ceramics or glass, with the ceramic color pigments dissolved in the printable ink substrate being transferred in the rotagravure process to the printing paper, with the color pigments prior to their being transferred to the rotagravure cylinder being held in homogeneous distribution in the release substrate. According to the invention using cup depths commonly employed in conventional rotagravure processes still lying within the range of between 20 and 60 &mgr;m, ceramic color pigments are employed the glass particle proportion of which, at least in the non-red color pigments, as against the previously usual glass particle proportion, is reduced in the ink substrate.

Abstract: A playing or training device comprises a resiliently mounted body such as a ball for receiving a hit, kick or like impact. At least two impact pressure responsive devices are mounted at spaced locations within the ball and each device is electrically connected to a respective lamp on an indicator panel. Each lamp is positioned on the panel in a location to correspond to a target that the ball would hit if the ball were impacted at the location of the impact device connected to that lamp.
