Below are common questions while setting up lenticular prints:


  • Why are my prints dark? 


If your prints are dark, you may need to utilize the 'max number of images' across all GIF frames in the Lenticular settings: 




In this case the max offered is 10, so also set that as the number of images. Then evenly split your images into the GIF Frames. So for example, if the max provided is 10, make Image# 1-5 assigned to Gif Frames 1, and Image#2 assigned to Gif Frames 6-10.


  • What does the 'max' number of images mean?


If you were using a GIF that had more frames than the lenticular output, this is where you choose which specific frames will show up in your lenticular print.


If you reduce the number of images in the Number of images box, the software will automatically assign each image to the maximum number of interlaced lines possible. However, you can fine tune your effect by leaving the number at the max value, and assigning individual GIF frames to multiple lenticular images. For instance, say you want one image (e.g. a guest’s face) to be the dominant image and stay in the frame longer, but a second image (a logo perhaps) to be just a faded ghost image that shows up briefly when the guest moves the frame. If you have 5 lenticular images available, you could set the guest face image to the first 4, and the logo image to the last one. This kind of fine control allows for a much wider range of effects with your lenticular output.



  • Why is there "ghosting or bleeding" in my prints?


Ghosting occurs when the DPI does not match the LPI of the lenticular filter. This could be due to the lens being used (we recommend VueThru lenses) or incorrect Lenticular settings. You can adjust the LPI manually - For example with a 40 LPI lens, try 30.95 or 40.05 and check how the prints change. Each printer will have its own native value that works best.
