What is Lenticular Printing?
lenticular: A specialized printing process that creates an illusion of motion or depth. Lenticular prints start with standard digital files that we specially prepare to be work with the lens material. We then print that file directly to that lens to create the effect. This material is a plastic made up of lenticules, hence the name “lenticular printing”. The image, viewed through the lens, appears to move as it is turned, creating dramatic animation or depth.

FAQs Common lenticular questions and printing information.
What is lenticular printing and how does it work?
Lenticular printing is a specialized print process that can show animation or depth. It works by combining multiple images through an interlacingprocess that combines them nto one fle. That file is then printed directly to the back of a lens sheet, creating the effect when the viewer looks through the front of the lens.
The name comes from the fact that we are printing onto a lenticule," or lens. The final productis a printed piece that moves when your angle of view changes. Althoughits been around for more than 70 years,recent advancements have helped itevolve from a fun toy to a powerful marketing tool.
What types of effects can lenticular printing achieve?
Lenticular can really produce two main effects: 3D and animation. However, the types of animation are truly endless.
What effects can you show on a digital screen?
The limit is only one of imagination, and the same goes for lenticular printing. Common effect names include tlip. morph, 2oom, blur, andmore. But these are allanimations, simply created by moving through a series of stll frames, ust like a movie, GIF, or a fip book. The most common effect is the standard fip from one image to another. But once you incorporate additional frames, the possibilities are endless.
What makes a good design for lenticular printing?
Each design is unigue and like with any artin any medium, there are few hard rules. However, there are some general best practices. Its bestto keep some element stable from one frame to the next When the entire image changes, it can look less clan. Adding an anchoring element, especialy acommon background, realy helps the parts that do change look thei best.Also, using fewer frames willmake each frame show more distinctly.So. ifits mportantto cearly see each one,limit the animation to 2to 3 frames If a little ghosting works for your image, add more frames. Finaly,keep inmind that a good lenticular designis much like alldesign, and the same laws apply. Great color, clarity,and balance willmake all print look great, and lenticular is no exception.
How is lenticular printing different from holograms or regular prints?
Many people dont know the word enticular," and so, when they see them, they refer to them as "olograms." But lenticular printing and holograply aretwo differenttechnologies. The confusion comes from what the two have in common-both can show the llusion of depth on a flat image. But how they get there and what is required is quite different.
Lenticular is a print process. Holography is created using a laser interference pattern, recorded on a photosensitive surface.
Holograms require a pointed ight source with no ambient light in order to be seen clearly. Lenticular printing requires no special lighting.
For most applcations, holography is not a realistic choice, due to its high cost of setup. its need for special lighting. its susceptbility to scratching.and its high barers to entry.Unless you are using itas an anti counterferting sticker,lentoular print is likely to be the right choice for most any application
