The centerpiece of the new kit is the spray etch machine, which has been specifically designed for PI's requirements. It is a fully conveyorised system. The exposed and developed metal plates pass through a double-sided spray-etching chamber where the required images are etched through the metal surfaces. The plates are then washed, stripped of photo resist and cleaned.
PI's Jim Douglas says: "We are best known for our glass gobo work, in particular our expertise in custom colour gobos. However, the general increase in business over the last two years has seen a large rise in demand for custom work and in supplying our new and expanded catalogue range. To ensure that PI maintains its reputation for the fastest turnarounds and the highest quality gobos - the time was right to make the purchase."
