Multiple Screening Processes
Through Rosco’s innovative developments in technology and unique manufacturing methods, they have raised the bar in gobo production. their new custom glass gobos are designed to produce the highest quality resolution for any unique design. Rosco's production methods offer flexibility for the desired artwork, projector, and glass gobo type, allowing them to truly customize each gobo from a 4mm image area and up.

Rosco Manufactures Its Own Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass is the basic building block for colored glass gobos, and Rosco is the only gobo manufacturer that manufactures its own dichroic glass. This enables them to offer color consistency from gobo-to-gobo and from batch-to-batch, which means that the gobo they make today will match any replacement gobos they make in the future. They’re also able to manipulate the CMYK color-palette of the gobo, which allows them to provide unequaled color flexibility to satisfy the most particular requirements. They’re also capable of producing unique lighting effects such as metallic and pastel colors that other gobo manufacturers simply cannot match.

Ultra-Thin Layers
Custom colored glass gobos are made by stacking layers of dichroic glass with custom, etched patterns on top of each other in order to subtractively mix the colors needed for the image. Because Rosco manufactures its own dichroic glass, they are capable of producing ultra-thin CMYK layers to assemble incredibly thin gobos. Rosco Custom Glass Gobos are as thin as 1.1 mm for B&W and one-color gobos, and 1.9mm for multi-color gobos. This is particularly important because their ultra-thin glass gobos offer a superior focal plane for excellent image projection using the optical capabilities of modern gobo projectors and moving lights.

Precise Imaging for Clean Line Detail
Rosco has revolutionized gobo etching, yielding a durable (8 mil) gobo with exceptional image quality. When it comes to gobos, tiny imperfections on the surface turn into large issues when they’re projected. Rosco's precise vertical cuts produce a cleaner projection with less “feathering” of the image than other etching techniques and allow for the smallest line point size, which gives them greater capability to customize very small metal gobos.

Gobo Size and/or Fixture Type
Rosco can manufacture custom glass gobos to fit virtually any light fixture available. The fixture you use will determine the size of the gobo you need and sometimes the black coatings. If you know the gobo size (B-size, M-size, etc) that your fixture requires, then that’s all we need. If you don’t know the actual gobo size, many times the fixture manufacturer will provide its gobo requirements, including the gobo’s outer diameter (O.D.) and image area (I.A.). To be sure you get a gobo that fits your fixture, it's always best to provide the make and model of the lighting instrument you are using when ordering. In some cases, particularly with new moving lights, a custom carrier is needed to mount the gobo inside the fixture. We do not stock gobo carriers for every moving light. Contact Rosco to determine the best route for acquiring the gobo carriers you may need.

  2. Do you want an extra copy to have on-hand as a backup?
  3. When do you need the gobos?
  4. What is the Ship-To address and what shipping method should we use to get your gobo to you on-time?
