Brand Owners - Why Consider 3D Printing?

Compared to normal images 3D increases the staying power

of advertisements by 4 times 3D increases the stopping

power of advertisements by 5 times

88% stated that they preferred 3D advertisements created with HumanEyes software (Market Watch - May 2003).

3D is different, 3D is cool!

About Lenticular

Lenticular Lens An array of parallel lenticules. When viewed from different angles, different parallel image areas are magnified.

Lenticular Image A specially prepared image placed or printed behind the lens. Views are arranged under lenticules so that each eye is presented with a different view. The brain processes these views to a single coherent 3D image.

Pitch (Mechanical) Number of lenticules / inch (LPI). Viewing Angle Lenses are available in different

viewing angles. The narrower the viewing angle, the thicker the lens, and larger the viewing distance for 3D.

6

Lens thickness Thick lenses (< 60 LPI) are suitable for printing wide format applications such as airports, exhibition graphics, POS, etc. Thin lenses (> 60 LPI) are suitable for handheld applications with a short viewing distances such as magazine inserts, packaging, etc.

Printing resolution The ratio between printing resolution and lens pitch determines the number of views that can be placed under each lenticule. The higher the pitch, the higher the printing resolution required for effective 3D viewing.

Viewing distance The distance from which the picture is best viewed.

The Best Solution to Create Lenticular Images

HumanEyes Producer3D is an innovative software solution that makes 3 Dimensional, Flip and Motion printing as easy as 2D printing.

Available for digital and litho print applications, Producer3D allows printers to use the newest flatbed digital printers or their traditional litho presses to produce superior results that get noticed!

How Does It Work?

8

BENEFITS:•Print your plate in one run.•Visualize your print job before printing.•Maximize efficiency.

Producer3D New Features

Great new User Interface with Layout Editor for Print Layout

Unique layout editor allows drag and drop and arrangement of images in a single layout for digital or lithographic printing.

9

BENEFIT•TIME-SAVING feature for offset projects.

Producer3D New Features

Step & Repeat

Allows a single image to be easily repeated in the printing layout to maximize lens coverage and minimize printing

10

BENEFIT• Easy and familiar tools.

Producer3D New Features

Control Marking

A complete range of reference marking tools that include: alignment marks registration marks center marks strip of alignment marks four corner alignment marks, etc…

Easily create reference marks before printing a project. Save default project templates with marks already defined.

11

BENEFITS•View a proof of the project before printing it.•Save big money on changes.

Producer3D New Features

Soft Proofing

The ability to get a much more realistic picture of what the actual print job will look like. The viewer will be tied in to a test that the printer will run on his printer to develop a profile.

Note: Currently released as a Beta feature. Final version by early 2009.

12

BENEFITS•Offers smaller file size with higher résolution•Portability•Tools adapted to the market’s needs

Producer3D New Features

Save interlace data as a PDF

Easily send the lenticular project data to customers for review and approval.

13

BENEFITS•No limitation to imagination….•Amazing lenticular effect

Producer3D New Features

Tiling

Build amazing wall sized lenticular projects by tiling the image over several prints.

This allows the user to print much larger images than the flatbed table (or litho press) allows.

Note the spectacular 8 panel tiled job!

Océ Arizona 250 GT – the perfect lenticular tool!

What makes the Océ Arizona 250 GT so well suited for direct printing to lenticular lenses?

True flatbed design for stationary-media printing and artifact free images.

Tiny 6 picolitre ink droplets using Océ VariaDot technology for superior resolution of interlaced images even on very fine lenticular lenses.

Perfect geometric repeatability for multiple overprints for images with extraordinary density.

15

Océ Arizona 250 GT – the perfect lenticular tool!

The Océ Arizona® 250 GT has the print resolution and high geometric accuracy required for both thin lens printing or HumanEyes new LensFree™ printing. Great flexibility!

The exceptional image quality provided by Océ VariaDot produces sharp, crisp, geometrically precise images for high quality lenticular effects, even on very fine lenticular stock.
