I have a question about those small sheets of ribbed plastic you find as a gadget in cereal and such. the back side of this little sheets of platic is printed on. If you look from different angles at the plastic you see different prints. This technique makes it possible to add animation of a few frames or add 3d-effect. My question is twofold: 1) What is the name of this print-technique? 2) Where can I find a printer in Belgium (or abroad, but willing to ship to belgium) that makes these? |

Hello fons_from_be-ga, Thank-you for your question. The name of images produced using this technique are lenticular pictures. They are also sometimes known as auto stereograms. "The term Lenticular is often confused as a printed image that shows depth or motion as the viewing angle changes. But in general Lenticular is a term for the lens effect that creates a convex perspective of multiple images or light sources, but not necessarily a physical printed image. This lenticular technology can be used to create a lenticular image through the process of Lenticular printing. Examples of Lenticular printing include flip and animation effects such as the winking eyes that were given as the prize in Cracker Jack snack boxes to modern airport advertising graphics that change their message depending on the viewing angle. This technology was created in the 1940s but has evolved in recent years to show more motion and increased depth. Originally used mostly in novelty items, lenticular prints are now being used as a marketing tool to show products in motion." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular There is an excellent description of the whole process here: http://www.lpc-europe.com/lenticular_process.shtml There are a number of commercial printers of these products and most would be willing to produce a design of your own should the quantity be large enough. I have listed a few from Europe below: Think 3D: http://www.3dp.be/ Convergence Point: http://www.convergencepoint.be The Lenticular Plastic Company Of Europe: http://www.lpc-europe.com/profiles/lpc_profiles_europe.shtml 3DZ: http://www.lenticular.biz http://www.3dz.co.uk/contact.html Edmonds: http://www.edmonds.co.uk/edmonds-contact.html Digi-Art: http://www.lenticularsoftware.de/ If you require any further assistance on this subject please ask for clarification. |
