Who is Rayzist?
Rayzist Photomask started in a 2-car garage with a determination to revolutionize the glass etching industry with a custom photoresist stencil. Quality sandcarving equipment specifically designed for the glass etching industry quickly followed. Rayzist is an owned and operated family based business. Randy and Edelia Willis (owners) hold a high standard of customer service that is present in all their employees and throughout their company. Today, Rayzist still proudly manufactures sandblast films (Photoresists and LazerMask-Tape), sandblast systems and automatic washout systems in California, USA for over 34 years.
The founder of Rayzist Photomask invented a sandcarving film; it was a direct image transfer, which provided an easy reproduction of detailed patterns for decorative etching facilities worldwide. This sandcarving film known as photoresist film became popular with small and large engraving businesses to etch on various materials.
Photoresist film has transformed the process of glass etching industry and influenced thousands of sandblasting facilities worldwide.
