The company says its Princet Screening Editor also includes a Suprasetter function, which enables the platesetter resolution to be selected automatically for the lenticular film used. This prevents both images being made visible at the same time.

In addition, the Prinect Signa Station allows for lens-accurate assembly of the repeats on the sheet, ensuring each repeat looks exactly the same. As a result, full use is made of the expensive lenticular films.

The software creates a fully defined workflow without any need for trial and error. All the key settings are clearly specified in the fully automatic Prinect workflow, thus eliminating any potential sources of error, according to Heidelberg.

The company adds that this results in lenticular prints of a consistently high quality, short makeready times, and minimal paper waste. Last-minute changes are also possible. Correction values are generated automatically and can be saved for follow-up jobs.

Mark Ihlenfeldt, product manager in computer-to-plate at Heidelberg says, “Thanks to the lenticular workflow from Heidelberg, print shops enjoy very reliable production. Our customers no longer have to spend time on laborious tests and trial runs.”

He continues, “Instead, they can be confident that precision in prepress will result in an equally high-quality end product. With training and support from Heidelberg, entry-level users and experts alike will soon be enjoying excellent results.”
