Question

What's the difference between LPI and DPI in lenticular printing?

Answer

Both numbers matter in lenticular printing, but they describe different things: one is the lens, the other is the print.

TermWhat it measures
LPI (lenticules per inch)How many cylindrical lenses fit across an inch of the lens sheet
DPI (dots per inch)The printer's output resolution

Your interlacing software's LPI setting must match the physical lens exactly, and print DPI should be at least 720 for sharp stripe definition.
