LENTICULAR PRINTING
In the printed world, nothing competes with lenticular. It spellbinds audiences and turns simple 2D prints into surfaces of motion and dimension. Parallax Printing is the premier provider of large format lenticular print solutions, producing some of the highest quality custom lenticular prints available for both fine art and commercial projects. From lenticular posters to trade shows, museums and everything else - let Parallax Printing help make your lenticular ambitions a reality!
DESIGN FOR CHANGE + 3D
Mastering the Medium
Lenticular has two main tricks up its sleeve, the ability to portray a sense of motion or change and the illusionary magic of simulated dimension. Both use nearly the same materials but have important differences in approach. Motion harnesses the viewer's movement to step through sequences of images in time, while dimensionality exploits binocular vision to construct depth. Recognizing when to use each technique, and how to optimize your artwork accordingly, is the key to making lenticular prints that hit all the marks.

MOTION LENTICULAR: Sequential Storytelling
Effects that involve change are known as motion effects. This can be a simple two-flip, like a before-and-after sequence revealing product transformations, or complex animations utilizing up to 30 frames for fluid motion. Consider the narrative power of a fashion campaign that changes outfits before viewers' eyes, a conservation message showing a forest regrowing, or a historical timeline showing a city's evolution over decades.
Motion lenticulars excel at condensing time, revealing hidden information, and creating memorable “aha” moments. Their shifting imagery naturally invites multiple glances, encouraging viewers to spend longer with the piece and discover each change. This built-in curiosity factor makes lenticular a powerful option when the goal is to spark attention and enhance recall. See our tutorials on how to setup effectively for Flip and Animated lenticular prints.
3D: Dimension W/o Boundaries
Three-dimensional lenticular printing creates genuine spatial experiences on flat surfaces. 2D art is converted into a dynamic parallax 3D lenticular that doesn’t merely suggest depth but generates true volumetric presence - objects appear to float in front of or recede behind the print surface by several inches or even feet in large-format applications. Best of all it requires no special lighting or glasses! See our tutorial on photographing for 3D lenticular printing.
EXHIBITION QUALITY LENTICULAR
Museum-Grade Standards, Commercial Accessibility
Our lenticular prints appear everywhere - from the walls of the San Francisco MoMA to the subway corridors of New York, always produced with the same care for quality and the viewer’s experience. That consistency comes from a workflow built on uncompromising material selection and precise process control, elevating each project regardless of its scale or budget. We offer a broad range of optical materials sourced globally for superior clarity and reliable effects, pigment-based UV-stable inks that meet or exceed archival standards, and precision CNC cutting and finishing that make for a clean finished product. The result is lenticular work that holds up in both demanding museum contexts and high-traffic public spaces.
The IN-HOUSE Production Difference
We produce all of our large-format lenticular prints in our Metro Detroit production space, where lenticular is our sole focus. Unlike many companies that outsource to facilities in other states or overseas, we manage every step in-house. Quality lenticular printing requires close control of dozens of variables, and having a dedicated local team ensures clients are never disconnected from the process. We offer quick turnaround times, rush processing, worldwide shipping, and competitive pricing. Our singular focus and accumulated technical knowledge make it possible to take on complex projects and to respond decisively when deadlines are tight.
Large Format Leadership
GO BIG Without Compromise
Parallax Printing specializes in large-format lenticular work designed to make an impact at scale. We define large format as anything over 20 x 20 inches and up to 4 x 8 feet, far beyond lenticular’s traditional role in postcards and novelty items. Experiencing a life-size print that animates as you move through a room is very different from tilting a postcard to see a simple effect. Its immersive, and its impact is captivating. Working at this scale introduces new challenges like maintaining registration over large surfaces, ensuring material consistency, and safely handling oversized sheets. Over the years, solving these challenges has become the foundation of our business. The result is uncompromising precision and quality at scale, prints that hold up in every detail, whether viewed at a distance or examined up close.
