Lenticular printing is a technology where a specific lens is used to produce images with an illusion of depth, or an ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.
Recent advances in large-format presses have allowed for oversized lenses to be used in litho lenticular printing. Typically 3 different types of lenticular prints are used:
1) Transforming prints: here 2 or more very different pictures are used, with a relatively large change in angle of view, to switch from 1 image to another.
2) Motion-capturing prints: here the distance between the viewing angle is "medium", so that while both eyes see the same picture, moving it a little bit switches to the next picture creating a motion effect.
3) Stereoscopic effects: here the change in viewing angle needed to change images is small. This causes each eye to see a slightly different view creating a 3D effect without the use of 3D glasses.
