This
follows certification of the Arizona printer by Humaneyes
Technologies to use the company's Printpro 2.0 lenticular software, enabling
production of lenticular and Lensfree effects prints.
Lensfree, which is now
incorporated into Printpro 2.0 software for digital flatbed UV wide format
printing, enables 3D effects and 2D animation to be printed directly on glass
or acrylic (plexiglas).
This helps remove a traditional
lenticular printing barrier – the high cost of production caused by the high
cost of buying lenticular lenses.
The certification marks the
first step in the co-operation between the two companies to promote lenticular
opportunities among Océ's flatbed customers.
Using Humaneyes' Printpro 2.0
production tools suite, printers can open, modify and make final adjustments to
effects and colours prior to printing end files, which have been created by
designers using Creative3D.
Printpro 2.0 maximises printers'
productivity and profitability by making lenticular production predictable and
efficient.
Adrian Morris, product manager
for Display Graphics for Océ-Australia, says: "The Océ Arizona 250 GT
machine coupled with Printpro 2.0 software offers print providers the
opportunity to fully explore the exciting capabilities of lenticular printing
on multiple substrates, as well as increase their margins by expanding
services.
"As the Océ Arizona 250 GT is a
flatbed printer with a very high print resolution and high geometric accuracy,
it offers commercial printers real flexibility with this additional ability to
print using either a thin lenticular lens or this new Lensfree technology.
"By adding lenticular printing
to Océ Arizona output it will create enormous opportunities for print companies
and help them improve print profitability
"Humaneyes' quality
products fit well with our philosophy for the Océ Arizona 250 GT.
"Lenticular imaging is a
distinctive and attention-grabbing method of visual communication requiring not
only extremely high quality print output but also consistent repeatability.
"Océ customers will appreciate
the ability to offer this unique application to their clients. This
certification assures an enhanced level of compatibility and quality assurance
that our customers expect."
