P3D Vecto



>>Polarizer material (oriented polyvinylalcohol) is normally clear until

>>"stereojet" process uses inkjet dyes as the stains.  Pick your color.

Actually, it is not that simple. The required inks are non-conventional
Dichroic Inks - not inkjet dyes. Incidentally, Vectograph Printing Ink can
be used in a conventional Ink-Jet printer, but the problem is Iodine is
corrosive, so care must be taken.

There is hope on the horizon, however. There will be available a group of
inks for standard printing that are actually polarized. The goal is to
eliminate the oriented Vectograph substrate, and create polarized images on
conventional materials.
