What is a Lenticular Image?
-
Lenticular imaging was invented by Nobel laureate Gabriel Lippman in 1908. Although the process has been heavily utilized in advertising and marketing for a number of years, it has traditionally been an expensive and complicated venture. Recent advances in technology have made it possible for high quality lenticular images to be created utilizing inexpensive ink-jet photo printers and software applications that can be run on personal computers.


Technical Details
-
Lenticular images are created from two components; a printed image and a lenticular lens through which the image is viewed. The first step is to prepare two or more images and then use a program to interlace them. There are a number of programs available but most are quite highly priced and often require additional software such as Adobe Photoshop to complete the image creation process.

The interlacing software takes the selected images and cuts them into very narrow strips. It then interlaces these strips like a perfectly shuffled deck of cards. If two image flips are being created, the first band is a strip from image one, the second from image two, the third from image one, and so on. The software then saves the interlaced image in a file ready for printing.

After the interlaced image has been created, it needs to be printed. In most professional quality lenticular printing, the image is actually printed on the back of the lenticular lens. This process is costly and must be performed precisely or the lenticular image will be blurry or exhibit a significant amount of ghosting. Another alternative is to print the image on paper and then mount it behind the lens for viewing. A number of problems ranging from printer variations to issues with how to mount the image to the back of the lens can make this low-cost alternative extremely challenging.

What Makes Lenticular Pro Different?
-
developersDen, in partnership with GMT Consulting, began to design a process whereby quality lenticular images could be created quickly and inexpensively. Our goals included providing the following for our customers.

Affordable software for the creation of professional quality interlaced images
   without the need for additional software such as Photoshop.

The capability to use any reasonable quality photo printer and average quality
   paper to print the interlaced image.

Access to the highest quality lenticular lens material at competitive prices.

The ability to mount the interlaced image directly to the lens sheet

Lenticular Pro software and the services provided by our partner LPI Technologies are the result of successfully achieving these goals! It is now possible to produce high-quality lenticular proofs for your customers in minutes, at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. Additionally, our products and services bring lenticular imaging capabilities to consumers, hobbyists, and photographers without the need for expensive equipment or complicated technical calculations.
