The transparency also wrinkled terribly upon removal from fixture, rendering it completely useless and non-reusable. This is due to the uneven way the ink adheres to standard, off-the-shelf transparency film and can’t be helped. More than likely, you’ll also notice a “starfield” effect in the black area. Note the browning blacks around the image, not to mention the faded colors and the distortion of the image itself. The projected image you see was taken as quickly as possible after insertion. The image started fading within seconds of going into the unit – particularly the blacks. We’ve seen similar results with several other LED gobo projectors on the market as well). While it may be tempting – here are the results we captured during a recent test with the ETC Source 4WRD (NOTE: these results are not exclusive to the Source 4WRD. One of the major upsides of LED gobo projectors that people talk about is how they can print their own gobos. DIY “Gobo” Printed On Standard Overhead Transparency Film
In the case of the Source 4WRD, the answer is yes! Below are some of our findings on how our Cool Ink Plastic Gobos performed vs a standard print-at-home transparency inside a fixture with the Tungsten Source 4WRD endcap installed.
As more and more facilities contemplate upgrading their fixtures to LEDs, we’ve been getting calls and emails wondering how those fixtures work with gobos – particularly whether or not the fixture can use plastic gobos. When ETC launched their new, cool-running, Source 4WRD LED retrofit endcap, we witnessed a whole new interest in using plastic gobos.
