Embodiment Construction

[0040] Referring to FIG. 1, a process for selectively shaping a raster image is depicted in accordance with one aspect of the present invention. The selective lenticular image forming system is shown generally at 10 . Included in the system 10 is a substrate 12 printed with an interlaced image portion 14 .

[0041] There can be many image parts 14 arranged arbitrarily on the substrate, and the size of the image part 14 can also be any size, shape or structure, and its coverage can be from a small piece to the entire substrate 12, and can also be on the substrate. any part. As a single feed plate passing through the system 10, the substrate 12 in the figure is shown as a thin sheet, but in fact the substrate 12 can also be a part of a roll (web roll), and the web roll adopts the prior art mode into the system 10.

[0042] Substrate 12 is typically paper, but other materials such as plastic, metal, synthetic paper, glass, or wood may also be used as substrates. In general, t...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of creating a selectively formed lenticular image. The method comprises: providing a substrate having a printed interlaced image portion thereon; providing a coating applicator having a selectively-located coating transfer area that substantially conforms to the interlaced image portion on the substrate; applying to the interlaced image portion on the substrate, using the selectively-located coating transfer area, a coating layer that conforms to the interlaced image portion to form a coated interlaced image; curing the coated interlaced image to create a cured coated interlaced image; and forming a lenticular pattern in the cured coated interlaced image to create a selectively formed lenticular image. Adjusting the selectively formed lenticular images occurs by adjusting the selectively located transfer areas on the coating applicator. Also disclosed is a system for making a selectively formed lenticular image. The invention can include multiple applications, via one or more coating applicators, of coating material (e.g., lenticular plastic material) to create the selectively-placed lenticular image. The invention further includes substrates having multiple printed interlaced image portions resulting in a plurality of selectively placed lenticular images on the substrate. The invention allows for end products having defined lenticular image portions, multiple lenticular image portions, and variably placed lenticular effects. In this manner, additional applications for lenticular materials, combining lenticular images and other printing on the same page, are possible and commercially feasible. The invention is particularly useful when it is desired to have less than the full printed page or package dedicated to lenticular effects, with one or more image portions.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 60 / 462,821, filed April 14, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference for its teachings and disclosures. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to lenticular images, and more particularly to making selectively shaped lenticular images. Background technique [0004] Lenticular lenses are in the form of transparent plastic sheets or rolls, which typically include: formed (for example by casting, coating, embossing, extrusion, co-extrusion) on the front side of the plastic sheet with the same Array of curved or ribbed faces. The back side of the lenticular sheet is usually flat. Each lenticule or individual lens is usually a portion of a long cylinder that is focused and extends well over the full length of a basemap. Other lens shapes are also possible (eg conical, trapezoidal, parabolic, etc.). Typically, the manufacture and / ...
