In the "new lingo", GIF means a short animated image loop. See, for example, /r/gifs or Twitter's "Add a GIF" feature. A "GIF" can be in .mp4 format, for instance, so there's little connection (other than historical) with the actual GIF image protocol.

#4"print" = transfers image data to a removable screen
"GIF" = short video

#5How about actually printing, then laminating on a lenticular surface providing a "GIF-sized" short moving-image effect?

It's probably actually mjpeg - at least that's what I would use.

#9Yes, this doesn't exactly "print" a GIF, but it's still a cool use of hardware and tech, with a nice writeup of how it was all accomplished.

Let's be part of the solution instead of the problem.
