Abstract
A method for producing lenticular images is suggested, which improves the image quality of the lenticular images. The images are written with a writing spot which is scanned over a recording material. The shape of the writing spot and at least one component of the recording material influence the image quality of the recorded image. The improvement of the present invention comprises to shape the writing spot or at least one of the contributing components of the recording material to obtain an overall response which is substantially trapezoidal. The summation of the overall responses is free from ripples and thereby improves the image quality.
