# How can I know that the flips on my 3D Lenticular prints will look fine?

There is no way to get an exact on-screen preview of how the final lenticular flip will print, since the effect only fully comes to life on the physical lens. That said, following a few guidelines gives you the best possible result. Use frames with strong, clear differences so each flip reads distinctly Keep the number of transition frames modest so each stays crisp Avoid tiny text or fine detail in the areas that change during the flip Build files at 300 DPI so the interlaced image stays sharp When in doubt, ask your printer to review your setup before it goes to print

No screen can preview a lenticular flip exactly, so use strong frame differences, few transitions, no tiny text and 300 DPI files for the best result.
