Hello everybody !

 

I would like to share this info I collected about how to make your own lenticular prints. I have not tried myself yet, though.

 

The instructions are located here:  https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-lenticular-printing-using-Photoshop-and-inkjet-/

 

And you will need to buy lenticular sheets. The best place I have found is the following: Micro Lens Technology, Inc. That can be reached at microlensjim@...

They sell sheets in A4 format (8"x10") with product code 3d40 LPI. They are sheets with adhesive for a cost of $4.45 per sheet

They even ship worldwide.

 

LPI is the short form of lenses per inch. If you are going to make at home stereoscopic photos using a standard color printer, then you need to print targeting plastic sheets with low LPI numbers such as 40 or 60 lenses per inch. Then the printout will be more easily to fit with the lenses sheet.

 

Has anyone in the list tried making own lenticular photos ?

I have found that the best lenticular sheets (and courteous service) come from MicroLens. They will also provide you with interlacing software, Superflip, at no charge. For small prints, 4"x 5", I find 60 lpi is best, and it cut easily with a razor knife / box cutter after laminating. For 8" X 10" prints, the heavier 40 lpi is best. You will also need a cold laminator. To create intermediate images (12 is a good number), I use StereoTracer by Triaxes.

Making a good lenticular print from. W3 mpo is a bit of an art, but it comes with practice. StereoTracer creates 1 or 2 depthmaps from your L & R images, then creates the intermediate images using the depthmap(s) and original image(s). You then use SuperFlip to interlace the images, print onto glossy photo paper (I use premium), and I find Epson printers seem to do the better job (I use my Epson 1400), then align the lenticular sheet to the print, peeling off the backing sort of like MacTac, and rolling it through the laminator.

That is it, simplified.

Cheers,

Brian Mason

Hi, 

A good basic laminator for lenticular prints is the Xyron creative station, you just remove the laminating cartridge and you're ready to go. I like the fact that the rollers will clamp down so you don't need to mess with adjustments. They are very affordable at around 50.00 and will cover 8x10.

best,

Tim

I have made a few Lenticular prints. I have 60 & 72 LPI material. I have used the 60 LPI material for 16x20 inch wall prints. I print my prints on a Samsung Color Laser, at 300 DPI.  This 1810w printer does a fantastic job of  color photo printing.

My Lenticular lens material does NOT have adhesive on it, I use a 3M photo adhesive spray.
I use a cheater base to line up the print and lens material . The spray is not cheap, but it allows a little time to align the lens with the print, before it dry's.

I have a favorite shot from a Civil War ,muster.  I did that one in 8x10 and a big 16x20. As I view it from my home office, it looks like you are looking out a window at a real scene.

I just saw this topic regarding making lenticular prints. I recently uploaded my presentation 3D Lenticular Tools & Techniques to YouTube.

I hope those of you interested in this topic find it useful.

Hi arealgijoe2,
I noticed you use a 3M photo adhesive spray on your lenticular lens material.
I've been doing something similar but end up with a spatter effect under the lens.
Do you have any particular suggestions for how the spray should be applied
to avoid this effect.
Thanks.

I was the original author of the tutorial on instructables.com, https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-lenticular-printing-using-Photoshop-and-inkjet-/ That tutorial was written over 10 years ago.  To hide the detail steps behind the scene, I have developed two online apps, one for pitch test and one for interlacing the images.  A YouTube tutorial on how to use these apps can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eadhzb0AkYc .

Have fun lenticular printing!
