Are full-colour gobos made in metal?
Full-colour gobos are generally produced as glass gobos. Metal gobos are typically used for high-contrast cut-out patterns rather than continuous-tone colour images.
Full Color Gobos
A full-colour gobo projects detailed colour artwork. Full-color gobos are generally produced using glass-based processes, and compatibility still depends on the fixture and the design.
What is a full-colour gobo?
A full-colour gobo is a custom gobo used to project detailed colour artwork, such as a logo with gradients or multiple colours that are not handled as simple separations.
These gobos are generally produced using glass-based processes. See glass gobos. The fixture and holder still determine the required size.
What is it used for?
Full-colour gobos are often requested for:
- Detailed logos
- Gradients
- Complex graphics
- Photographic-style imagery where supported by the fixture
Suitability depends on the submitted artwork. Fixture compatibility must be checked.
What information is needed?
- Fixture model
- Artwork
- Quantity
- Existing gobo or holder photo, if available
How is compatibility confirmed?
A full-colour image does not change the size rule. Confirm OD, ID, thickness and holder fit against the fixture. See gobo compatibility.
How to order
Send artwork and the fixture model for a specification check.
