Abstract
A method for forming an integral image on an image receiving medium which image is aligned or alignable with an integral lens sheet having a back side and a plurality of separate lens elements on a front side, and apparatus which can perform such a method. The method includes: directly sensing the location of each of a plurality of reference elements on the lens sheet which reference elements are separated in a same direction the lens elements are separated; and writing portions of the lenticular image on the image receiving medium each of which is associated with a corresponding lens element, in accordance with the sensed positions of the reference elements; wherein each of a plurality of image portions is written at a position which is a function of the directly sensed location of at least one selected reference element, the functions for at least some of the plurality of image portions being based on at least one different reference element.
