Abstract: A lenticular print (13) having image bundles (19), and method and apparatus for aligning and centering image bundles (19) in the print (13) under lenticules in a lenticular overlay (11). On the print are provided one or more two-dimensional fiducial indicia (17) containing one or more angular or linear alignment elements (18, 29, 45) disposed at about two lenticules widths apart.

Abstract: An image sheet (12) is coated with a radiation curable adhesive (48) at a coating station and then laminated to a lenticular array sheet (20) at a laminating station (50). A lamination of the image and array sheets is then positioned on an aligning station (56) where the lenticules of the array sheet are aligned with the image lines (16) of the image sheet. The adhesive is set at a curing station (60).

Abstract: To cinch a web end portion onto a core, the core is center driven by a core driving mechanism at an outer peripheral speed in excess of the speed at which the web end portion is fed to and threaded around the core. After the web end portion is cinched onto the core and the web wound to form a roll of predetermined diameter, the core drive mechanism is disengaged from the core to terminate the core center drive. The outer surface of the roll further substantially simultaneously engages a roll surface drive mechanism which is normally spaced from the core for surface driving the roll.
