LENTICULAR PRINTING

A printing method that produces 3-D effects, simulated motion, or images that alternate with the angle of viewing. The procedure usually involves offset printing on lenticular plastic sheeting, and sometimes involves two or more digitally sliced and interlaced images. The interlaced images can be reversed to print directly on the lenticular plastic (smooth side), or can be printed on a substrate and laminated to the lenticular plastic. The precise alignment of the interlaced image with the direction and position of the lines (lenses) in the lenticular plastic is critical for some kinds of visual effects.
