This ensures that your artwork is properly represented.  \n File Size: our mail servers are capable of receiving any size file, but we would ask that anything over 3mb be compressed (Win Zip or like) .  \n Balance: before sending your artwork, ask yourself the following questions: when looking atthe artwork: What did I notice first? Can I intelligibly read everything? Is the artwork balanced? (Text vs. Image)  \n As a general rule we would normally limit text to a maximum of 6 words total per gobo, but it depends upon balance, text size and font selection.  \nOriginal vs. Copy/Reprint:  \n Each piece of artwork is made per size and type of gobo. Should the type or size change, then new artwork must be made for the production of this gobo and a new original cost would be implied.  \n Subsequent copies or reprints can be made of original artwork for a lesser charge. Artwork is stored on-file for 1-year if purchaser can provide corresponding job number and billing name at time of the original order.  \nSteels Gobos Types:  \n Steel (Metal): Cut out of stainless steel these gobos imply ~~ ~~  Bridging ~~ ~~ in order to connect pieces together into one solid piece. Very durable, these are intended for a total use of between 15- 20 total ~~ ~~ on ~~ ~~ hours (artwork depending) .  \nGlass gobos:  \n Glass can produce a higher resolution reproduction of your artwork including images.  \n Glass gobos imply four types of fill: primary colour (or field), secondary colours, gradient fill between these colours, or full colour representation. In all instances all colours count as a colour plate except for White which is to be represented by light colourings.  \nEdmonton office:   Saskatoon office:  \n14709  123 Avenue 615 10th Street  \nEdmonton, AB T5L 2Y6 Saskatoon, SK S7H 0G8  \nPh: (780) 448-7298 Ph: (306)664-0011  \nFax: (780) 448-1031 Fax: (306)664-6423  \n[edm@productionlighting.ca](edm@productionlighting.ca)  [sask@productionlighting.ca](sask@productionlighting.ca)  \nStage Lighting - Sales - Rentals  Service [Website: ](Website: www.productionlighting.ca)[www.productionlighting.ca](Website: www.productionlighting.ca)  \nStage Lighting-Sales-Rentals-Service Custom Gobos Cont.  \n Glass gobos tend to last indefinitely when cared for correctly (dependent upon colour saturation)  \n Glass can be produced in Black and White (Super Resolution), One-colour (one colour and white), Two-colour (two colour plates and white), and Full Colour.  \n It should be noted that glass gobos are more susceptible to colder conditions and run the risk of cracking during rapid cooling or heating.  \nGlass gobo types:  \n Glass (Black and White): Glass can produce a higher resolution reproduction of your artwork. Black and White glass (Super Resolution), also implies greyscale. Should you artwork implied greyscale, black and white (light), then it would fall under this category. You may also substitute one-colour for this category as well (read: red and white) .  \n Glass (Two-Colour plus black or white field  \n Glass (Full Colour or Multiple Colour, artwork dependant)  \nWedding Gobos:  \nWedding Monogram Gobos: Link  \nWedding Template: Link  \nTimelines:  \n Steel gobos: From signed contract to gobo in your hand, we would normally allot for 10 business day.

It can be done quicker, but rush charges may be included to do so; they can be produced as quickly as 10 days if need be.  \nArtwork proofs:  \n We can do artwork proofs for you to approve. The cost of these is normally waived should you proceed with the order; if you choose to not go ahead with the order, then a cost of $50 is extended.  \nEdmonton office:   Saskatoon o","cbCaihpN8H3OzzY4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihpN8H3OzzY4","pdf",44636,"English","# Understanding Gobos\n## Custom Gobos - Artwork Requirements\n## Original vs. Copy/Reprint Costs\n## Steel Gobos Types\n## Glass Gobos Types and Color Plates\n## Wedding Gobos\n## Timelines and Artwork Proofs\n## Ordering and Contact Information","[{\"question\":\"What artwork file types are preferred for custom gobos?\",\"answer\":\"Preferred file types are aspect ratio locked EPS or PDF to ensure artwork is represented correctly.\"},{\"question\":\"How should a customer prepare the artwork to ensure it is readable and balanced?\",\"answer\":\"Review the artwork by checking what stands out first, whether all elements are intelligible, and whether the design is balanced between text and imagery.
