What are Lenticulars? "Lenticular"
refers to a unique printing process that creates illusions of three-dimensional,
moving, or morphing images. It relies on a material composed of parallel rows
of optical lenses that magnify and show to the human eye only a small portion
of the image printed underneath. Images under each row of the lens are sliced
up and interlaced in a controlled pattern, then printed at high resolution. Note
that lenticular items, especially 3-D, are often confused with holograms,
which are produced through a completely different process. For more information
about Lenticulars and holograms, please contact

Effects
To
achieve 3D effects, the image is constructed so it presents a slightly
different view of the print to each eye, replicating the natural parallax effect
that allows us depth perception. This requires that
the lenses be aligned vertically. For this reason, when 3D images are combined
with other Lenticular effects, you need to move the piece side-to-side for the
other effect to be visible. |

Flip Lenticulars consist of two images ("phases")
printed on one product. Horizontally aligned lenses focus on one or the other
as the view shifts from top to bottom. It is possible to have elements included
in both images, so they are always visible. | Morph/motion
effects are similar to flips, but consist of multiple images phased in a sequential
order, to create an illusion of movement (motion/animation), transformation (morph),
or an increase/decrease in size (zoom). These designs use a common background,
with only certain elements changing in each frame. Only a fraction of the Lenticular items available
are listed on this site. Please inquire for your specific
needs; we will gladly provide sample kits showcasing our superior print quality,
free of charge to qualified customers. In addition
to the basic 18-mil 75 lpi lens that our listed pricing is based on, we offer
other options better suited to extra-deep 3D effects or extreme morph/motion.
