Abstract
The present invention provides a photo-substrate for printing of lenticular images that comprises a lenticular lens array, and an energy-reactive material adhered to the backside of the lenticular lens array. According to the methods of the present invention, the lenticular image is printed directly through the lenticular lens array onto the energy-reactive material, using, for example, collimated light or laser. The photo-substrate of the present invention can be adapted for large scale or industrial production to print lenticular images on a wide array of substrates, including such things as packaging and clothing.
Claims31
A photo-substrate comprising:
- a) a lenticular lens array;
- and
- b) a substrate comprising one or more energy-reactive materials adhered to the backside of the lenticular lens array.
