Lenticular printing
Lenticular printing is a technology that produces images with the illusion of depth or the ability to change or move when viewed from different angles. This is achieved through a lenticular lens that refracts light in various directions, creating a stereoscopic 3D effect or animations like flips, morphs, and zooms. Commonly used materials include PVC, PETG, and acrylic, and the technique can enhance the impact of photographs and advertising images, making them appear dynamic and vivid.
This printing method has gained popularity for its unique effects, often used in movie posters, trading cards, and cover art, like the May 2006 issue of "Rolling Stone". With motorized lenticular, even static viewers can experience the visual effects as the graphics move behind the lens.
For those interested in collecting or utilizing lenticular prints, it's essential to work with experienced printers who can ensure the quality and accuracy needed to achieve the desired effects.
