The lenticular sheet: Before the start of the design and the selection of the images, the decision about the choice of the lenticular film must be made. Depending on the area of application of the end product, a decision is made between 40, 50, 60, 62, 75 and 100 lpi foils. The difference between the foils is the number of lenses per inch and, in connection with this, the thickness of the foil. As an example, the most frequently used film with 75 lpi has a thickness of 485 my. The way to the effect: The selection of the image material and the type of effect as well as the processing are the basic building blocks for a successful production. When creating a flip effect (image change), at least 2 image sources must be available in order to be able to generate it. In our experience, 3 pictures (complete picture change) are the maximum for producing a good flip effect. With 3D effects, a large number of image sources are necessary in order to be able to represent the depth effect of the dimension. The images required for this can either be generated digitally through a photo montage or through 3D photography (multiple photos in a radius around the object). Morpheffekte lassen sich nur durch den Einsatz von spezieller Software realisieren. Dabei versucht man, ausgehend von einem Quellbild, einen möglichst realistischen Übergang zu einem Zielbild zu erzeugen. Beispielsweise ist es leichter, ein menschliches Gesicht in ein anderes menschliches Gesicht umzuwandeln als ein Gesicht in ein Bügeleisen. Texte, vor allem in kleineren Schriftgrößen, sind aufgrund der Linsen schwer lesbar, besonders wenn diese Texte ein Teil einer Animation oder eines Flips werden sollen. Um Animationen, Bewegungen oder auch 3D-Effekte aus Photoshop-Bildern kreieren zu können, sind dafür verschiedene Ebenen notwendig. Then an exposure with a very high resolution and a special screening process is necessary directly on the printing plate. The printing is carried out with the greatest possible precision (accuracies of 0.01 millimeters) directly onto the lenticular film. The back of the film can of course also be printed, personalized or made self-adhesive. Products We can manufacture lenticular products up to a format of 480x680 mm. In practice, lenticular effects are used in the following products: Postcards Rulers Cover for books, magazines and brochures Invitations Personalized mailings packagings business cards Posters and displays Drip off effect paint The type of finishing that enables you to achieve special paint effects without major additional costs. Hot foil stamping We see foil stamping as an important area of print finishing. For this reason we offer hot, relief, effect foils and blind embossing up to a size of 104 x 72 cm.
