[photo-3d] R: [Lenticulars

["Sergio Baldissara" <winter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes John, I often visit Chris' site, even if my interests are mainly
photographic & I'm too old for video games.  Indeed I found the link to
http://www.iart3d.com/ in Chris' news.
I-art's lenticular kit has a gorgeusly low price, but I couldn't find any
info about system requirements and/or lenticular pitch. More: if you surf
the "forum" of http://www.iart3d.com
you'll find an unanswered question dating 4/1 (by "Antonio" asking if his
printer was suitable) and a silly & upsetting answer (to "Muhammad"
inquiring about lens pitch) "we CAN'T tell you how many lpi..."... What hell
does it mean??? They REFUSE to reveal the pitch of their own lenticles? or
they pretend THEY DON'T KNOW it???
Probably they just need to change some idiot forum keepers... anyway such
readings are strongly deceiving.

Did you use I-art's kit? My goal are Nimslo prints  ("3d" flips from 4 pics)
by myself. Can the I-art software do the job of interlacing 4 pics? Will my
64 MB P166MMX handle the software? is Windows98 OK? Will my 360/720lpi
printer (Epson SC400) comply with the I-art's output format & lens pitch?
I also asked I-art by e-mail (not throght their forum), but I'm afraid I
can't confy in a reply (at least a non-insane one).
Sergio
P.S. can you post a pointer to Didik's actual site?
