hello,

update you references, my lenticular prints are done with 24 points of view of the subject, aligned manually, interlaced then printed in 50cmx50cm format with a 2880dpi printer, placed under a 60 lpi lenticular sheet, and it produces a really fantastic effect, unfortunately this is so new that you may not be able to experience it easily.

That sounds large. I'm printing 5x7's (inches), and I don't think the resolution is so important, either for the printer or the camera. Sony Nex files have been printing OK for me, but if I tried half a meter prints, I think I might need more resolution in the source print! Even so, 60lpi is rather course for small prints, so I might like trying even larger prints sometime...

fuji lenticular print are made with 2 points of view interpolated to 12, printed on a sublimation printer, and yes it is not a tribute to lenticular printing.

I've only been using two frames. It's OK, but I wouldn't mind trying software that interpolates to see if it looks better. In the past, I used film cameras that would take 3 to 4 photos.

That sounds incredible.
Are the sheets commercially available?

You can buy pre-cut and pre-glued sheets, which is what I did this last time. (Or without glue, or in huge rolls, or....)

Are they expensive?

But it seems to be rather expensive.

Do they work with a standard printer?

Yeah, any decent inkjet, but there's a weird calibration that has to occur. I've only gotten reliable results with a particular software that allows me to specify a tiny adjustment to the pitch. I think this is a case where if you expect top professional results, you have to have better software and more skill, but you can DIY with decent results.

How do you align the paper in the printer with enough precision?

Part skill, part luck. It is highly problematic. Knalberto would probably be very excited that some of my prints do not come out. However, the successes are worth it.

Sorry for all the questions
