Abstract

A method and article providing different images from differing viewing angles. The image side of a lenticular sheet is printed with radiation sensitive image layer and cured using a collimated radiation source located at a viewer position with respect to the lenticular surface. Uncured imaging material is removed from the printed surface as by rinsing, and the resulting clear region of the imaging surface may be processed further in a variety of ways. The clear region may be left unprinted, or printed with a second image different from the first, or printed with a stereoscopic image that combines with its pre-printed mate to form a three dimensional image. The clear region also may be vacuum metallized or chemically plated to form a highly reflective surface. The method permits use of relatively thin lenticular sheeting.
