The most commonly asked questions at Outer Aspect are regarding the
sizes of orders and images, the number and type of images to
be supplied, and the costs and turn around time of our
process.
1) What are the print quantities I can order?
Order quantities depend on whether you want fine gauge or
heavy gauge lenticular prints.
The smallest order for fine gauge is 1,000 units with noticeable price
adjustments for orders over 5,000 units. For heavy gauge,
the minimum order is for one unit.
There are no maximum order limits.
2) What size prints can I order?
The smallest area we can print is approximately 45mm
(1.75" square). We cannot print any image smaller than
this as the image degrades under the lenticular lens.
The largest areas we can print are A2 (20" x 28") for fine
gauge and 2.4 x 1.2m (8" x 4") for heavy gauge
lenticular prints. We can tile those prints to form
applications for billboards, bus-sides and other transit
locations.
3) What images can I provide?

4) How many images can be animated?
There is no simple answer to this most frequently asked
question.
Depending on the type of image and how they are animated,
the number of frames can range from 2 to 60.
Animation is dependent on the direction your print is moved,
up/down or left/right, and some images animate better one
way than the other.
Some applications require left/right viewing such as bus
shelter posters that move as people pass by them, and
up/down animation allows more frames to be animated.
Left/right images can also appear to be three-dimensional.
Images that are very similar can be animated very easily
with several frames. The frames that animate a golfer
teeing off may allow for up to 20 frames, but a print of a
portrait shifting to a vase, then to an art gallery can only
have three frames.
The smaller the print, the better the animation, so business
cards will animate better than posters.
5) How much does it cost?
If you tell us the size and quantity, we will tell you the
price.
Try our Quick Quote function to find out what you need to
know as regarding size, quantity and price.
6)How long does it take?
It takes about two to four weeks from artwork approval to
delivery of fine gauge prints, and less than a week for
heavy gauge.
We can sometimes accommodate your needs for a faster
turn-around time.
