I've just ordered a Gocco Pg-11 machine which is a Japanese printing machine invented in the 1970s. Gocco became immensely popular in Japan and it is estimated that one-third of Japanese households own a Print Gocco system. Print Gocco is a small version of a few elements commonly used in screen printing: the hinge clamps that hold your screen and the exposure unit that frequent printers use to create their screens. The screens themselves have several layers, one solid. The ink goes amidst the layers, and pressure is applied, causing the ink to squeeze out and onto your paper. Just as the Gocco began to blow up in popularity, it was suddenly unavailable. In December 2005, Gocco’s parent company, Riso Kagaku Corporation, announced it would end production of the Gocco system due to low sales in Japan. An Internet campaign, SAVEGOCCO! was started to find a new home for the product. I ordered my Gocco from Printaddict.com
