Lenticular lenses are plastic lenses consisting of an array of optical element (lenticules). When viewed from different angles, different areas under the lens are magnified. Different thickness lenses are suitable for different applications and printing methods. In general, thick lenses are more suitable for printing large posters using a digital printer. Thin lenses are more suitable for small handheld pictures printed with offset printers. Thin lenses are available that are only 0.45mm thick and even thinner. These lenses are suitable for shorter viewing distances such as magazine covers, flyers, inserts, packaging etc. Thin lenses are also suitable for larger viewing distances when a higher resolution printer is used. |
