Abstract
A method for a production of a lenticular image. The method comprises feeding a lenticular printing substrate having a corrugated side and a printing side into a digital printing press, feeding at least one nontransparent ink to set a substantially nontransparent layer on a printing blanket of the printing press, feeding a plurality of colored inks to set an interlaced color image layer on top of the substantially nontransparent layer on the printing blanket, and printing with the printing blanket onto the printing side.
Claims19
A method for a production of a lenticular image, comprising:
- feeding a lenticular printing substrate having a corrugated side and a printing side into a digital printing press;
- feeding at least one nontransparent ink to set a substantially nontransparent layer on a printing blanket of said printing press;
- feeding a plurality of colored inks to set an interlaced color image layer on top of said substantially nontransparent layer on said printing blanket;
- and
- printing with said printing blanket in a single impression operation onto said printing side.
A lenticular article, comprising:
- a lenticular printing substrate having a corrugated side and a printing side;
- an interlaced color image printed on top of said printing side with a digital press;
- a substantially nontransparent layer printed on top of said interlaced color image with said digital press;
- and
- a lenticular article back image printed on top of said substantially nontransparent layer with said digital press.
A digital printing press for a production of a lenticular image, comprising:
- a printing blanket;
- and
- a printing substrate conveying unit which conveys a lenticular printing substrate having a corrugated side and a printing side in front of said printing blanket;
- an ink feeding unit which feeds at least one nontransparent ink to set a substantially nontransparent layer on a printing blanket of said printing press and feeds a plurality of colored inks to set an interlaced color image layer on top of said substantially nontransparent layer on said printing blanket;
- wherein said printing blanket is used to print said interlaced color image layer and said substantially nontransparent layer onto said printing side in a single impression operation.
