This would be so damn hard to line up. Semi-spherical shape with a graphic on it? No way are you getting that perfect. A smartly designed product would account for that misalignment by simply stopping the graphic before they overlap and leaving a gap.
It’s not that hard, it’s printed with a huge soft industrial tiddy. You just have to line it up on the flat stamp thingy, which should be easy, probably.
Ceramics are never super tight in tolerance, and a tiddy is a soft, deformable shape that will never deform exactly the same every time, plus it needs to be moved and compressed around the part. You get any of those off by even a little and you get misalignment.

You are way underestimating it.

Wait, there’s a real tool called a “tiddy” which is a “soft, deformable shape”?
Wait till you google image search it and see what it looks like!
(I would recommend you include ceramic and printing in your search)
Yeah it would be stretched but it woudn’t be misaligned like that.
Are they industrially known as printing tiddies or am I gonna get giggled at (not that I mind) when I go buy one for home projects?
I guess they’re called something like silicone printers or something but I prefer printing tiddies. They’re absolutely mesmerizing.
If theres a tiddy that isn’t mesmerizing I haven’t met it
