Parallel view. It print small so that it'spossible to view that way.
If you print larger, then, you'll need mirrors to compensate for the 
larger size.

Print using the highest DPI setting available. Home printers should be 
able to go up to 1400 DPI or more without problem.

Having convergence or not is dependent on the scale of the scene.
Converging for compact, close up images.
Non-converging for vast scenes like this one.

Flip the images and print at a larger size for cross-eyed view.
