Lenticular book

A Lenticular book is created with the help of lenticular printing technology. This special type of printing gives rise to books, the text is accompanied by pictures with 3D graphics. Pictures of lenticular book arouse the illusion of depth or transition depending on your perspective. Lenticular book is also called stereoscopy or 3D book. The first worldwide 3D lenticular printed book with the story is Lentibook Pirate Girl.
Lenticular printing technology.
Lenticular printing technology and stereoscopy is a complicated method of producing imagery that allows spatial visual perception. There are different types of lenticular printing, the technology has evolved from simpler to more complex methods. Initially, it was a combination of two alternating images. With this basic application lenticular printing can be found, for example, child rulers with varying images depending on the inclination of rulers and angle of view. Gradually the technology has been better and better and allows the creation of images with stereoscopic 3D effects that are used such as posters, billboards or postcards. This advanced technological process stereoscopic 3D effect is used in the production of lenticular book.
The current trend lenticular book.
Currently lenticular book develops as a modern version of the classic children's book, which offers a varied, entertaining and inspiring imagery that develops a child's imagination. With emerging technology is evolving quality lenticular images in the book, which are still better and more varied. This makes it possible to use 3D book seizure of the child, but also as a teaching tool that motivates and leads to reading and concentration.
Production of images with 3D effect.
Production of images with the 3D effect is very demanding in terms of complexity of technological processes and in terms of time and money. Print of image size 5.9 × 8.7 cm takes about three and a half minutes and the price varies between 119 and 298 CZK for one frame of this size. The whole production process involves a complex preparation of documents, which leads to animation files in special 3D programs, intensive preparation for printing and using powerful and expensive printers. Lenticular technology has considerable manufacturing tradition in the Czech Republic. The aforementioned lenticular book Lentibook Pirate Girl or if Pirátka Kačenka is also Czech product.
