MUTOH America has redefined lenticular printing with Lenticular 2.0. The MUTOH XpertJet 661UF UV Printer now offers users the ability to create never before seen lenticular prints with ease. By leveraging the user-friendly templates provided by MUTOH, end users can seamlessly create lenticular prints by using MUTOH UH21 varnish to create a unique lens.
Lenticular 2.0 printing harnesses the unique characteristics of semi-circular lenses to create images that change based on the viewing angle, producing a compelling illusion of depth and movement. With the introduction of two new cutting-edge versions of lenticular printing—Lenticular 2.0 and Spot Lenticular 2.0—users gain access to innovative patent-pending techniques that allow for increased revenue and profit opportunities.
Lenticular 2.0 employs a simplified method of overprinting the composite image with MUTOH UH21 varnish to form the lenticular lens, enabling users to create captivating effects such as two-image transitions or four-image animations using the provided Photoshop templates and preset Print Environments in MUTOH’s award-winning VerteLith RIP software.
Additionally, MUTOH introduces “Spot Lenticular 2.0”, a groundbreaking approach that allows users to strategically apply lenticular effects anywhere on their substrate, regardless of shape or size, thereby unlocking limitless creative potential and enhancing the appeal of finished products.
“This new patent-pending technology from MUTOH is amazing,” claims Brian Phipps, President of MUTOH America. “Everyone wants to grab a prospect’s attention with their printer’s output. With this new technology that allows MUTOH’s XpertJet 661UF printer users to place a Lenticular 2.0 image in just one specific spot by using MUTOH’s UH21 varnish plus CMYKW inks, the image comes alive grabbing the attention of the prospect or passerby.”
From immersive POP advertising displays that transport viewers to alternate dimensions, to mesmerizing product packaging that dances with a motion, the applications of lenticular printing are vast and diverse. Picture a brochure that transitions between compelling messages with a slight tilt, or a promotional poster that jumps off the wall, captivating passersby with its dynamic allure.
With MUTOH’s groundbreaking Lenticular 2.0 printing capabilities, users can elevate their prints to tell unique stories, adding greater value to their creations and captivating customers in new ways. MUTOH’s new Lenticular 2.0 printing is not just dynamic and immersive—it’s a medium of endless creativity. XpertJet 661UF users can access the lenticular templates through their MUTOH Club account online.
