Photoshop World is featuring the debut of SnapilyPro.com, a high quality, rapid-ship 3D print service for any number of prints and one-off proofs. Russell Brown, 3D evangelist and Senior Creative Director at Adobe® Systems spearheaded testing and feedback of SnapilyPro.com for compatibility with Adobe Photoshop® software and its 3D tools.
“Designers, photographers and printers who want ‘in’ on the burgeoning entertainment and advertising boom in 3D have all the tools they need to do the job, now that SnapilyPro.com is available,” Brown says. “SnapilyPro allows Photoshop users to realize 3D projects quickly and cost-effectively.”
To use the service, professionals need only upload Photoshop layers, and choose size and quantity to get a preview and a quote before confirming their orders on SnapilyPro.com.
Snapily’s easy to make, personalized 3D products are used in entertainment, family gifts, and promotions projects the world-over. The professional service version of the technology, SnapilyPro.com, is being demonstrated in the company’s booth #210 at Photoshop World, March 24-26, in Orlando.
Shahar Bin-Nun, Snapily vice president of sales, says that interest in 3D printing has increased substantially since the entertainment industry stepped up its use of 3D in movies, television, and related promotions.
“Demand for 3D is high,” Bin-Nun says. “and SnapilyPro is happy to be the first company to offer personalized and short run 3D lenticular prints. Designers and photographers using Photoshop CS4 Extended can now share their 3D lenticular projects with clients.”
SnapilyPro.com allows site visitors to upload layers from Photoshop (PSD) or HumanEyes Creative3D files. Users can also choose to upload two JPG or TIFF images to create a “flip” effect. SnapilyPro.com simulates the 3D image in an online preview, for reference.
In addition to entertainment applications, increasingly popular 3D uses include conventional and highly personalized mini posters, business cards, flipped wedding invitations, postcards, greeting cards, fine arts prints, flipped flyers and much more, including special edition “keepsake” collector cards, tickets and programs.
Price:
Pricing for SnapilyPro.com prints and proof start at $6, plus shipping.

Hello,
Lenticular - 3D printing has come a long way. Today’s printers are versatile and can accept many types of substrates. Lenticular can be printed on offset and digital printers with relative ease and productivity.
Digital printers run the spectrum from the low end Epson Stylus series to the high-end Nur flat-bed printers. The common denominator is that these digital printers are commonly used for short runs and to print poster size images. Digital printing can be done in two ways:
- Print the image on paper (photo quality) and then have it laminated onto the lenticular.
- Print directly on the lenticular. These can be done with many larger flatbeds such as the Nur – where the lenses have been treated with a special solvent.
Offset printing is for the masses and is very doable today. Many professional printers have invested in presses dedicated to lenticular printing. Offset printing can be used to mass-produce fine quality 3D images for magazine covers, notebook covers, postcards and many more applications. In general the offset printing is done on soft lenticular that is 60LPI and higher.
More later.
