HumanEyes builds lenticular component into PrintPro tool

HumanEyes Technologies has included lenticular technology in its PrintPro 2.0 software, removing the high production costs of buying specific lenticular lenses to create 2D animations and 3D effects on signs.

The LensFree components, integrated into PrintPro 2.0, enables these effects to be created on a computer and printed directly onto glass or acrylic with a wide-format digital UV flatbed printer.

The system will be on show at this year's Sign UK, which runs from 1-3 May at the NEC Birmingham. HumanEyes distributor Turning Point Technologies will demonstrate the tool using a Durst Rho 600 Pictor inkjet printer.

As well as the PrintPro 2.0 suite, HumanEyes will showcase its Creative3D platform, which helps create lenticular imagery and includes time-line workflow utilities to help effectively plan and cost jobs.

HumanEyes vice president of graphic arts sales Ronen Sobel said: "Our lenticular technologies, such as LensFree, PrintPro 2.0 and Creative3D offer sign printers, advertising agencies and designers a real opportunity to incorporate new, unique, added-value services to their portfolio.

"The UK is now the largest market outside the US for our lenticular 3D products."
