Lensfree Lenticular For Large Format
Digital Print
Excelsus Solutions, which specialises in lenticular and large format digital printing of signage, packaging, displays and speciality projects is enthusiastic about HumanEyes' new Lensfree technology.
The Lensfree feature in Humaneyes' software is claimed to permit 3D effects and 2D animation to be printed directly on glass and acrylic Excelsus' president Mark Laniak said: "Lensfree dramatically alters the lenticular landscape by letting anyone print with ordinary, available materials." Laniak explained that a large share of the print buying market would like to utilise lenticular but many have been unable to justify the price because of the cost of lenses

3D Lenticular Software Wins Technology Award
Human Eyes has received a 2005 PIA, GATF (Printing Industries of America and Graphic Arts Technical Foundation) Intertech Technology award for its 3D software.
However, as Lensfree eliminates the need for lenses entirely, the opportunity to produce lenticular work is now available to a much higher percentage of the print buying community.
Humaneyes said that Lensfree's sharp, eye-catching animation effects are suitablefor backlit applications, such as those featured in airports, subway and rail advertisements, in-store and mall decorations and interior design, for instance.
The 3D and animation effects are also said to be accurate and may be viewed from a long distance.
The company added that its Lensfree technology has already taken Excelsus' printing on acrylic to new heights, impressing its customers.
Laniak commented: "Our customers are already going nuts over it.
We have built a special, four-foot by eight-foot lightbox on wheels to display our lenticular capabilities.
No other visual medium captures this much attention, especially when we print on acrylic with Humaneyes.
The depth is incredible and it's like a diamond." According to Humaneyes, because Lensfree allows for new backlit applications that eliminate the need for lenticular lenses, the Lensfree feature opens new, cost-effective opportunities for printers using UV flatbed presses.
Instead of printing on dedicated lenticular sheets, 3D effects, as well as 2D animation, can be printed on standard glass or acrylic (plexiglas), using a dialogue box now added to Humaneyes' Printpro software.
