It refers to the printing on the grating via the lenticular printer, which shows the amazing changeable 3D effect under the principle of light diffraction, as the view angle changes. Therefore, it can also be called the 3d lenticular printing. This visual effect is like the smooth animation clips, and make the printing lifelike and interesting.
