  • Patent number: 5731883
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming an integral image element, comprising (a) a processor, (b) a printer to print an integral composite image on a carrier, the printer being capable of printing the image at a magnification which is under the control of the processor, (c) a positioning unit connected to the processor to position the printed image under control of the processor so that it can be viewed through an integral lens sheet, (d) a sensor unit connected to the processor to provide an indication of the magnification of the printed integral composite image with respect to the integral lens sheet, and (e) a magnification adjuster connected to the processor, which can vary the magnification in response to the indication. A method which can be carried out by the above apparatus, is also provided.
