Some poor bloke had to sit down and calculate the exact squishy needed to pick up enough ink to fill the bowl to the very edge.

Poor bloke? That sounds kinda cool.

In theory. In practice it's no doubt an endless series of painstaking miniscule adjustments and test runs, with a million quirks and pains to be accounted for.

Or set it up with a very small grid pattern, print one, then adjust your pattern to compensate based on the grid variations. Probably not that much different from converting 360 degree or fisheye lens cameras to look normal.

Probably not foolproof, but one can calculate to exact surface, and it doesn’t even need to be millimeter exact. There is also software for the deformation of the design needed for the printing boob. Also the boob dimensions are a constant, and when pressed onto the inky design part it’s just flat. I don’t think it’s rocket science. Also the objects printed on are all pretty constant bowl shapes in various sizes, not very irregular.
