Abstract
An apparatus (40) for scanning an image to a lenticular material (43) having a first pressure roller (11), which in combination with the first drive roller (13), forms a nip (10) for moving the lenticular materials (43). An axis (71) of the first pressure roller (11) is skewed at an angle to an axis (73) of the first drive roller (13). A second pressure roller (21) forms a second nip (20) in combination with a tensioning roller (23) for tensioning the lenticular material (43). An axis (61) of the second pressure roller (21) is skewed at an angle to an axis (63) of the tensioning roller (23). A scanner writes an image to the lenticular material (43) as it passes between the first and second nip (10,20).
