Lenticular printing is a specialized printing method used to create graphics that show an illusion of depth (3D) or appear to morph, flip, or move when viewed from different angles. This effect is achieved by combining a specially formatted graphic with a clear plastic top sheet. This plastic sheet is covered in tiny, parallel ridges. These ridges act as microscopic magnifying lenses, bending light so that different parts of the underlying image are directed to your eyes depending on how you hold or tilt the print.

To produce this visual effect, a digital file is first "interlaced", a process where two or more distinct images are sliced into microscopic strips and woven together into a single pattern. When this interlaced image is printed and precisely aligned underneath the ridged plastic sheet, the lenses isolate and project only one image sequence at a time. As your viewing angle changes, the plastic ridges reveal different slices of the graphic, allowing a flat surface to display realistic 3D depth, fluid animations, or sharp image transitions without requiring special 3D glasses.

While this process is very easy to set up, it is limited to AI photos. The template added in the designer shall be a regular AI photo template only.

For the best possible result, use horizontal line orientation for vertical prints, and vertical line orientation for horizontal prints. Check your manufacturer for recommendation as well.

Modify LPI setting between 40 and 60 using small changes by 0.25 each, to fine-tune the final printing and get the best result. This is the most general setting, but always check your paper specifications.
