Zaxys Launches Affordable 3D Lenticular Printing Service for 3D Artists

New service bypasses traditional 2D to 3D lenticular conversion process resulting in significant savings for 3D artists wishing to print 3D business cards and postcards.

Hilton, NY (PRWEB) July 2, 2007 -- Zaxys Depth & Motion Imaging is announcing today’s launch of their new business card and postcard products Web site, www.zaxysdmi.com. The new Web site gives users the ability to design their own 3D lenticular business cards or postcards in their 3D program and upload their designs for printing.

Not reserved for corporations with big budgets anymore, Zaxys is now putting a premium 3D card into the hands of the general public. The site is launching with business cards only, but expects to add postcards to its product list by the end of the month and additional products in the future. Not to be confused with silver holographic images, or holographs, lenticular images are actually a series of twelve color interlaced images printed onto a special plastic with a “ribbed” surface known as lenticular. This plastic is now made very thin and is excellent for use in business cards and postcards because of its durability.

These business cards and postcards establish a strong first-impression. They capture and hold attention five to 10 times longer than conventional print cards. The users of this Web site (www.zaxysdmi.com) will find that their contacts will share these unique cards with friends and co-workers, increasing their exposure to the marketplace. These business cards and postcards will become a powerful marketing tool for those who purchase them.

The business cards and postcards are two-sided, lenticular on one side and traditional printing on the other. The user designs the lenticular side of the card. These images are three-dimensional, although they can also have special effects, such as motion, zoom, morph or flip or a combination of effects.

Zaxys’ goal was to make the image design process easy for 3D artists to follow. To achieve this, Zaxys has released several tutorials that explain step-by-step how to set up 3D design applications to render the required 12 frames. These tutorials also explain how to create a custom PDF file containing the personal information that will be printed on the reverse side. This side of the card will be printed in four-color process inks.

Zaxys Depth & Motion Imaging has partnered with National Graphics to bring their industry leading Extreme Vision® lenticular technology to this market. Zaxys developed the process to create lenticular images utilizing 3D programs. Currently, nearly all 3D lenticular images created today are not created utilizing 3D applications but are created instead from 2D images by layering various elements and animating these layers to simulate 3D.

Payment is made via credit card and product will be shipped directly to the user within approximately three weeks.
