I would like to clarify our lenticular services:

1. our services is designed to the professional purposes, that is, the
lenticular printing is for advertising postings, marketing promotional
items, trade cards in gift stores and artworks in galleries. Their
requirements of quality are quite high and processings are quite complex,
for example, we need to interlace up to over 30 images probably and meet
other professional requirements, such as focal points, slogan positions and
color preferences( including W&B ).... Therefore, if general customers use
our services, it is quite expensive, that is, customers using general
photolabs is not suitable to use professional photolabs.

2. professional purposes need more copies than customers purposes, probably
several hundreds or thousands pcs even over ten thousand pcs, so the first
print cost is not heavy on everage to each pc.

3. because shipping cost is higher from China,  the orders of small quantity
is not our advantages.

4. our quality is much better than Image Tech's. 3 D professionals who
viewed my samples could comment on  them honestly. Therefore, I believe the
price of lenticular printing is  reflecting its value.
