TRICK PRINT® Online Data Conversion

This is a data conversion service that enables in-house production of "FLASH PRINT" in which a different design from the visible one is captured by the camera when a flash is taken, and "RELIGHT PRINT" in which a different design becomes visible when a backlight hits it.
