    Print it Yourself -Lenticular Pitch Test File Service.

    Whether you’re a digital print shop, commercial offset printer, or an enthusiast, we make it easy for you to achieve high quality lenticular print results. We understand that there can be long time intervals between lenticular print jobs, and that having to re-educate oneself or staff on how to do it each time is wasteful, when all you want to do is get on with printing the job. So, all you have to do is accurately fill in the order form, and we’ll send you a download link to the print ready PDF.

    Printing a pitch test file is recommended before interlacing and printing your design. It provides two critical pieces of information:

    1. Visual Pitch: the pitch line frequency to use when interlacing your file, determined from viewing the pitch test print at the intended viewing distance.
    2. Mechanical Pitch: the true number of lenticules per inch on the lenticular sheet, determined by loupe examination wherein the black line is in the same position under each lenticule across the sheet. (Required for Step & Repeat layouts).

    For example…a Lenticular Sheet Manufacturer’s 40 LPI Specifications state that the LPI Range is 39.85 – 40.16 LPI (dependent on the output device). A good starting point is to set the Estimated Pitch half way at 40.00 LPI, and include their range, incrementing each strip by 0.01 LPI. So, the top strip will be 39.85 LPI, the next strip 39.86 LPI, and so on down to 40.16 LPI.

    Once printed and viewed from the intended viewing distance, you may discover that one of these strips flips uniformly from a black bar extending the width of the print, to a white bar (or clear bar if printed on clear stock), as you move left or right relative to the print. If you’re detecting some slight ‘against’ movement on one strip, and some slight ‘with’ movement on the next strip down, then you might estimate the visual pitch value somewhere in between to use when interlacing your files, or perform another pitch test to refine further.
