Would love to hear more about Gocco printing? Do you actually get a screen of your exact drawing? Want to know ALL about it! Anyone who's used one, please please please tell me all there is to know! How much do they cost etc! Cheers

Really easy to use, you make a carbon copy (laser print, photocopy, pencil drawing etc) and then set it up push it down, BIG FLASH, and then its done. We use cheap picture frames for ours and the work fine.

Hidden cost are the light bulbs, it takes 2 per flash and cost i think 8 dollars or around there for 10 bulbs from nehoc. Also you have to make sure the artwork is cleaned up properly for the best screen making.

Hi Emma, I bought a gocco through an etsy site zickezacke.etsy.com and if your thinking about buying one, I highly recommend this seller. It comes directly from Japan (where they make them) via express post and cost me $162 AUD delivered, absolute bargain. At my local craft supplies shop they retail for $375. You can print on paper or material from your own drawings. It is super easy to use.

ohh, thanks for the etsy shop link. Even since I heard about the gocco I thought it sounded very interesting. And what I have seen done with them always looks really good.
