Anyone know where to get fly eye lenticular sheets/rolls?

[signs_welly]

I'm looking into lenticular printing and I have printers that can do it. I just can't seem to find the material. I have found site for suppliers in Europe but none in the US. Anyone know where you can get it in the states?

Evidently spartech has a line of the stuff: https://www.spartech.com/product-type/lenticular-3d-specialty-printing-sheet

I mean that's the normal Lenticular stuff(still hard to get) I was looking for fly eye stuff. It uses circular lenses in a hexagonal pattern instead of lines. It's cool if nobody makes it anymore. I figured the market seemed small for it due to the price of most rolls of it.

Ahh, that does sound cool, so more like an optical lenticular lens in a grid pattern? I'm curious, are they impossibly tiny, so a similar effect vs a linear lenticular panel, or chunky for something different? I'll have to find a video I guess.

The lenses are smallish but not so small its impossible to print on the array. I think the standard is 40 LPI so pretty small but you can still see them if you get close. There's some videos on YouTube of it in action and it can hnadle human faces really well so I figure standard signage would be extremely easy for it.

Hi signs_welly, did you ever find any fly eye sheets available for purchase? I've been searching as well and I found this listing for MicroLux by DPLenticular. However, it says it's currently out of stock, and I don't know how long it's been out of stock or if/when it's ever coming back.

Edit: I realize now that you specified suppliers in the US. DPL is in Brussels but they seem to ship to the US (as far as I can tell).

Not sure of the end need for these, but I have seen the Mutoh flatbeds are cable of UV printing lenticular images onto regular substrates if that helps you.

All uv printers with varnish can, its a setup that make it possible. https://www.imagiam.com/
