Method for forming lenticular prints

Abstract

A lenticular print that allows stereoscopic viewing is formed by forming lenticular lenses, each having a convex sectional shape, on an image-recorded member, which has groups of parallax images arranged and written thereon. Each group of parallax images includes strips of parallax images. The lenticular lenses are formed at positions corresponding to the individual groups of parallax images. The lenticular print is formed through a partition wall forming step of forming partition walls between the groups of parallax images on the image-recorded member, the partition walls extending in a longitudinal direction of the parallax images and having a predetermined height; and a lens forming step of forming the lenticular lenses between the partition walls by depositing a transparent material between the partition walls so that the deposited transparent material bulges upward from the partition walls due to surface tension thereof to have a substantially circular sectional shape.
