Projected Image at PLASA
Projected Image’s sister company Projected Image, is well
known as a leading international gobo manufacturer. The company
will be highlighting the latest additions to its extensive gobo
catalogue, plus some recent changes in the operational infrastructure.
New Imagesetter: Another
Step Forward
Projected Image has just had a bigger and better Imagesetter installed.
This outputs film at the even higher resolution of 5,048 DPI (compared
to 3,600 DPI previously). It enables the detail of colour artwork
to become even finer, with a crisper projected image and the added
flexibility of progressive gradients.
New Website with Online Catalogue
Projected Image will be promoting its new website at the show.
This was re-launched in July, incorporating a new online catalogue
and packed with fresh innovative designs. The graphics team are
constantly adding designs to the organically growing collection,
as well as encouraging clients to add their own suggestions.
For those unable to find what they need from the
standard lists, Projected Image offers a custom design service
to fit exact requirements. These are then added to the collection
… and charged at the standard catalogue price.
The cost for catalogue gobos is still an incredible
£6 per metal gobo and £30 per mono glass gobo, plus
same-day turnaround at no extra cost.

& Services Manager to streamline the company’s unparalleled
