A printer device for lenticular photographic images easily transforms electronic image files into photographic hard copy. The printer device includes a cathode ray tube screen and a projection lens. A filter wheel may be used for inserting optical filters into the optical path of the projection lens. A lenticular photographic print assemblage is aligned and affixed at the focal plane of the projection lens. The lens and the image on the cathode ray tube screen are then moved in differential amounts in the direction parallel to the plane of the aligning and affixing process, and normal to the axis of the lenticules on the lenticular photographic print assemblage. Finally, an electronic video display driver and computer coordinate the motions with changes of the images displayed on the cathode ray tube to allow the correct exposures of color and angular perspective views inherent in the image files onto the photographic emulsion coating of the lenticular photographic print assemblage, for the subsequent developing and autostereoscopic viewing.
