Pirelli tyres 2014 - how is Made the logo on tyres?

Post

Hi to all

I have a great curiosity about the formula 1 tyres.

How are made the written on the tyres (Pirelli p zero)?
Are Made with a special paint or they use a heat-treatment printing system or similar?
What kind of system?

Thanks

I can't say 100% for certain, but I'm pretty sure it's a decal transfer.

Labelling is shown at 10:40 on this video. It seems to be a transfer/decal.
