  • Publication number: 20090194221
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a ball with color impression. The ball includes an inflatable bladder, which is enclosed by a reinforcement layer and further wrapped by a body layer and a color composite sheet. The method includes a process for making the color composite sheet, which include a step of making a color film, which is made of a porous material having minute pores and on which a pattern is printed, with the pores maintained after printing, and a step for making a transparent layer, which is made by heating a material for making the transparent layer into a flowable liquid form for filling into the pores of the color film to form the color composite sheet, wherein the printed pattern that is formed on the color film is observable through the transparent layer.
