Abstract
A method of creating a lenticular imaging article. The method comprises printing an interlaced composite image according to a reference grid of a printer, providing a lenticular lens sheet having a plurality of parallel lenticular lines between a plurality of lenslets, selecting an acute angle for an intersection between the first and second axes according to a function of a resolution of the interlaced composite image and a pitch of the lenticular lens sheet, and positioning the lenticular lens sheet so that the intersection forms the acute angle.
Claims13
A method of creating a lenticular imaging article with a reduced banding artifact, comprising:
- printing an interlaced composite image according to a reference grid of a printer, said reference grid being parallel to a first axis;
- providing a lenticular lens sheet having a plurality of parallel lenticular lines between a plurality of lenslets, each said lenticular line being parallel to a second axis;
- selecting an acute angle for an intersection between said first and second axes according to a function of a resolution of said interlaced composite image and a pitch of said lenticular lens sheet;
- and
- positioning said lenticular lens sheet so that said intersection forms said acute angle.
A lenticular imaging article with a reduced banding artifact, comprising:
- a lenticular lens sheet having a plurality of lenslets separated by a plurality of parallel lenticular lines aligned in parallel to a first axis;
- and
- an interlaced composite image positioned to face said lenticular lens sheet and printed according to a reference grid of a printer which is aligned in parallel to a second axis;
- wherein the intersection between said first and second axes forms an acute angle adapted to a resolution of said interlaced composite image and a pitch of said lenticular lens sheet.
A computer program product, comprising at least one non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method of creating a lenticular imaging article with a reduced banding artifact, said method comprising:
- generating printing instructions for printing an interlaced composite image according to a reference grid of a printer, said reference grid being parallel to a first axis;
- computing an acute angle for an intersection between said first axis and a second axis parallel to a plurality of parallel lenticular lines between a plurality of lenslets of a lenticular lens sheet, said computing being performed using a function of a resolution of said interlaced composite image and a pitch of said lenticular lens sheet;
- and
- instructing the positioning of said lenticular lens sheet so that said intersection forms said acute angle.
