Lenticular imaging system and method of manufacturing same

A lenticular imaging system comprising:

• a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a graphic image layer including a plurality of graphic images printed on at least one surface of the substrate;
• and
• a lenticular lens array applied to at least one surface of the substrate above the graphic image layer, wherein the lenticular lens array comprises a plurality of clear, magnifying, elongated, parallel, convex lenses.

A method of making a printed article, the steps comprising:

• providing a printable substrate with a top surface and a bottom surface;
• applying at least one graphic image on at least one surface of the substrate;
• and
• applying a lens array on at least one surface of the substrate above the at least one graphic image, wherein the lens array comprises a plurality of clear, magnifying, convex lenses.

A lenticular imaging system comprising:

• a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a graphic image layer including a plurality of graphic images printed on at least one surface of the substrate;
• and
• a lenticular lens array applied above the graphic image layer, wherein the lenticular lens array is formed into a plurality of clear, magnifying lenses having a semi-circular cross-section.

A printed article comprising:

• a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a graphic image layer including at least one graphic image printed on at least one surface of the substrate;
• and
• a lens array applied at least one surface of the substrate opposite the graphic image layer, wherein the lens array is formed into a plurality of clear, magnifying, convex lenses.

A printed article comprising:

• a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
• a graphic image layer including at least one graphic image printed on at least one surface of the substrate;
• and
• a clear laminate applied to a portion of the at least one surface of the substrate above the graphic image layer, wherein the clear laminate is formed into a plurality of lenses having a semi-circular cross-section.
