Method and an apparatus for processing a lenticular printing substrate

摘要

A method for preparing a lenticular guide roll for use in a lenticular printing run. The method comprises providing a printing roll of a printing press and a first piece of lenticular media. The first piece of lenticular printing substrate has a pitch which is substantially identical to a second lenticular printing substrate to be used in the lenticular printing run. The, method further comprises attaching the first piece of lenticular printing substrate to the printing roll to allow the maneuvering of the second lenticular printing substrate by the printing roll in the printing press.

1. A method for preparing a lenticular guide roll for a production of a lenticular image, comprising:
providing a printing roll of a printing press and a first piece of lenticular printing substrate in the form of a flat flexible sheet of lenticular web media having opposite edges, said first piece of lenticular printing substrate having grooves at a pitch being substantially identical to a pitch of a plurality of grooves of a second piece of lenticular printing substrate of lenticular web media to be used in the production of the lenticular printing substrate; rolling said first piece of lenticular printing substrate around said printing roll such that said grooves face away from said printing roll and said opposite edges form a seam with the grooves in alignment on top of said printing roll; and attaching said first piece of rolled lenticular printing substrate to said printing roll; wherein said pitch of said grooves aligns the maneuvering of said second piece of lenticular printing substrate in said printing press by said printing roll; wherein said first and second pieces of lenticular printing substrate are taken from the same lenticular web media.
