1. A method for forming an inked image on a golf ball comprising the steps of:placing at least one ink layer on at least a portion of the curved surface of a golf ball; subjecting the at least one ink layer to a first irradiation thereupon in an amount sufficient to at least partially cure a portion thereof; and subjecting the at least one ink layer to a second irradiation thereupon in an amount sufficient to further cure the at least one ink layer, wherein the first irradiation comprises electron beam radiation, and wherein the second irradiation comprises ultraviolet radiation, visible radiation, or a combination thereof.
