Lenticular is the combination of sudden changes, stereoscopic depth and motion. With modern high-resolution UV inkjets, it’s particularly suited for the use which can print onto plastics directly.

A clear lenticular lens sheet front layer is combined in lenticular print with a printed backing layer. Carefully laminated and aligned to the plastic lens material, the print may be onto conventional paper. Onto the smooth rear face of the clear plastic, it may also be directly printed. With front or backlit prints, the effect works well equally.

First encountered lenticular print is available with many people as children, in novelty toys and bubblegum cards where between two or three scenes, the image flips based on how it is angled towards your eyes. The most common use is still this: tigers, 3D images of dolphins, book covers and novelty greetings cards. Most are just kitsch produced poorly. This is a pity as a very attractive promotional medium or artistic can be done by properly done large format lenticular lens sheet China.

With large lenses, Stereoscopic 3D can work well particularly though one of the animated techniques is preferred by most retail customers prefer because the effect works at mist viewing distances and movement is more eye-catching. 3D doesn’t work at all and is more subtle viewing angles or distances.

Though the image creation stage is exacting, the print is conventional in a lenticular image. Then in side-by-side sets, it arranges them. This is called interleaving.

From changing the viewpoint of your eyes, the illusion of flipping or motion comes: either by moving your hands or head in the small portable images case or walking towards or past the print in the case of the poster. As the print moves, different image stripes are directed by the diffraction of the lenses towards your eyes, and the image seems to change.

By parallax, you can get Depth of 3D illusion: through the lenses from lenticular lens sheet supplier, a different light path is seen by each of your eyes one set for the right half and the other for the left. 3D doesn’t work at all and is more subtle viewing angles or distances.
