A range of graphical effects can be created that are not mutually exclusive. For example, you can have a 3D piece with elements that flip, morph, zoom and/or have motion. Our Lenticular Solutions system is very flexible and capable of customizing the graphical information we receive to create; in lenticular, what a designer envisions. At its highest levels, interlacing and mastering is a mix of art, animation, and print to meet an expressed design idea that in turn meets a planned marketing objective.

We Do Not Recommend:

Backgrounds.
Textured or colored backgrounds provide reference (especially 3D presentations) and can be a deterrent for ghosting issues found in flip, morph and motion presentations. White backgrounds; for example, offer the least amount of reference or camouflage for minimizing ghosting.

Trimming.
It is important that any image or type be kept a minimum of .02" of an inch from the trim edge.

How to Prepare Your Files:
We require that files are electronic and are prepared in either Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Photoshop (.psd) with the following considerations:

Naming of Files:
Please keep in mind, when you are sending us your files, please name them with your name or your business name and a brief word to locate it, example: glitzphoto_smithwedding.psd

Resolution.
It is important that all images are the same size as the finished piece and 300 pixels per inch, i.e.(a 4"x4", finished piece would be 1200 dpi X 1200dpi)

Mode.
If a file is in CYMK, leave it in CYMK and send it to us.
If a file is in RGB, leave it in RGB and send it to us.
If a file is new, we prefer it in CYMK

Operating System .
Please specify if PC or Mac

Layers.
DO NOT MERGE LAYERS!

Graphic Effect: FLIP

Art Considerations:
Once again we require the elements that we will be flipping to and from. Usually, we do not recommend more than a 2 image flip. Depending on the size of the image, flipping between 3 elements or sets of elements minimizes the number of frames we can apply to each flip thereby weakening the overall effectiveness of the presentation.

Size.
It is important that all images are the same size as the finished piece and 300 pixels per inch, i.e.(a 4"x4", finished piece would be 1200 dpi X 1200dpi), therefore, the size of the file will be more than 2MB; more than any popular webbrowser supports. If you run into this problem, please e-mail or call us and we will give you the ftp information for you to upload your file.

These can be e-mailed, sent on disc or FTP'd (call for address and password).
