Lenticular printing is no straightforward feat, but the unique result is well worth the time, energy and investment. It begins with computer graphics, after two separate images are uploaded and spliced into dozens of thin strips. The strips are then interlaced before being overlaid with a transparent plastic layer comprising dozens of hemispherical lenses called lenticles. This allows the images to refract the light passing through them for the final lenticular product. With a high degree of exactness and alignment, a lenticular print offers a stylistic approach that will stand out amongst standard prints.

Some of the most common challenges in lenticular printing include:
- Design defects, such as fuzzy prints or doubling.
- Image ghosting, a result of poor image care prior to printing.
- Color synchronization, an issue that can stem from a number of sources, such as malleable material or incorrect printing conditions.
- Phasing, which arises from the incorrect cutting of material at the beginning of the process.
