LENTICULAR PRINTING, EXPAND YOur CREATIVE HORIZONS
Lenticular Printing is a special way of printing on a lens to give amazing effects, as a result, help create a real wow factor. The illusion of motion, depth and flips created through the use of special profiled plastic lenses, therefore produce a variety of stunning and mesmerising effects.
With over 30 years of experience we work with the most popular and creative techniques, as a result, we deliver striking and imaginative prints that are sure to grab attention and stand out from the crowd wherever they are used. We are experts at getting the most from this clever process and we use only the best lenses available.
We have created an artwork guide for lenticular print to help you with your next project.
ANIMATION LENTICULAR PRINTING
We can stitch a number of images together to give the appearance of an animation.
Three to twelve images works best with a standard lens.
“Seamless Animation”
A continuous movement can be achieved by the final image looping back to the start.
We can use our specialist lens to produce segments of video footage using significantly more images for an enhanced effect.
MORPH LENTICULAR PRINTING
A morph merges one image seamlessly into another, here Dr Banner into The Hulk.
Our specialised software separates two images, splitting them into multiple stages which are then interlaced together creating a morph.
“Quality Concepts work best”
The content and quality of the original artwork is crucial to the success of the end product.
3D LENTICULAR PRINTING
Lenticular Printing as 3D image gives an incredible effect.
Created by offsetting various image layers at different increments, providing viewers with the visual illusion of seeing in 3D.
As a result, when the image is viewed from various positions because the light is being refracted in different angles, our eyes see different results as they adjust and register depth perception.
“Stand out Visual Effects”
Therefore this leads to a dynamic visual effect, a powerful interaction between the viewer and the message the design is presenting.
FLIP LENTICULAR PRINTING
Two or more images are flipped between as the viewer or product moves. This is the most common form of lenticular, used to show changes to an item or to present more than one message in a single space.
“Simple Designs Work Best with Flips”
Less is usually more to showcase this, and prints can either be horizontal or vertical.
For handhold items, a horizontal flip with 2-4 frames is best as both eyes receive the image simultaneously.
Posters and POS materials, which are a common flip use, are designed for walk-by viewing where a two flip side-to-side activation is optimal.
