here it comes again
by gl. at 10:52 pm
very exciting news! paper source will be carrying goccos again (as early as the end of the week)! i'm thrilled (and frankly, a little surprised) that it came back!
the paper source price sheet almost knocked me down, though: "little miss gocco" cost me about $250 a year and a half ago, including a stamp kit, extra screens & bulbs, and one of almost every ink imaginable. i don't think i would buy a b6 gocco alone for almost $400. still, i'm glad people have the choice to buy one now! i know the attachment is almost irrational. :)
[edit: ah, i see. it's for a fairly advanced pg-arts machine. which is pretty cool & all, though i'd like to see an option for the entry-level b6.]

Gretchin, Have you explained somewhere why goccos are so beloved? What do you use them for?

teehee! (shelley, let me know if you want me to edit the redundancies.)
as i understand it, gocco is beloved because it is a portable, nontoxic, flexible screenprinter. creating the screen is incredibly easy (you just need a xerox copy or laser print) and you can even print multiple colors at the same time. it's also a positive printing process, which means, especially for lettering, that you don't have to make a mirror image of the original. you can use goccos on paper & fabric; check out the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/gocco/pool/

Woooo, thanks. I read all your links about it yesterday so I understand a bit more but I will check out the group pool too. That price leaves me out tho.
