HumanEyes 3D offer
Positive Focus is offering cut-price Producer 3D software from HumanEyes Technologies to help more printers get into the growing lenticular market. Discounts of around a third apply across a whole range of software, training and installation packages.
Digital printers can benefit from the HumanEyes LensFree technology and avoid the cost of printing on pre-formed lenses. The technique, involving double sided printing using a UV cured flatbed inkjet printer, allows an image to be printed on one side of a plain acrylic sheet, with a barrier layer on the opposite side. It lends itself to larger format, backlit advertising and point of sale material, and a recent development now allows use of thinner, flexible substrates that can be easily changed within suitable lightboxes.
?"A 60 x 40in 3D backlit poster which we displayed on our stand at the recent mediaPro show created a lot of interest," said Ivor Dixon, managing director of Positive Focus Europe. "Even people who had not considered the technique before were asking searching questions about the ease of production.
"We provide a complete package, including training in the creation of the images and the actual printing techniques that need to be mastered. It's not a difficult process, but it does need a high standard and careful printing to get the best from it and avoid wastage. We have some users who print onto an opaque substrate that is then laminated onto the lens, but with the increasing number of flatbed printers coming onto the market, especially those with a white ink option, printing direct onto the lens is a more viable solution."
With the offer, which runs to the 22 December, you can get started in lenticular printing for around ?4,500 (ex VAT), plus training.?
