Metal Gobos
They are made of stainless steel or alpacca (nickel-silver). Since the artwork is chemically etched out of metal (light shines through the cut area), metal gobos can be used only for simple artworks.

One color gobos
One color gobos are produced by overlapping to the first black filter a colored one. It is rarely used because it is possible to obtain the same effect with the cheaper bw gobo giving it color by using the moving head color wheel. Therefore, it is used only when a particular color tone is required or when the owned projector is not equipped with a color wheel.

Glass gobos are manufactured with high-quality materials able to withstand the heat and the UV radiations generated inside projectors and moving heads. The glass is provided on one side with a coating, a very thin film that can be made of aluminium, silicon or titanium. It is the coating which impart glass the different colors and which is laser-etched to obtain the different artworks on gobos.
Goboservice has been producing gobos by laser etching for more than 10 years and has become one of the biggest world experts in this technique.
No more unwanted halos and reflections.
One of glass gobos limits can be the formation of unwanted reflections producing doubled images and halos in projection. Over the yaers, Goboservice selected the coating types able to tottaly eliminate these imperfections.
The two most used coatings are:
- Matte Gray, with a grey side. Used in black and white gobos, it diffuses the undesired glares of light improving the quality of projection.
The two faces, the reflecting and the grey anti-reflex one, of a black & white gobo.
- Glossy Dark, with a black side. Used in colored gobos, it absorbs the undesired glares of light.
