Printing with the Gocco!!!

Oh Gocco! I knew we'd be a good fit together. Why did I discover you so late?!!!

I've been having so much fun playing with my new toy! After finally finishing a 3 color print design for our Christmas cards this year I've begun the printing process. I don't want to give too much away til it's finished. I just wanted to share a quick progress shot that Alex took.

This thing the Gocco and I have, it's love. So simple, such quality. I'm desperate to continue our love affair! Why has Riso stopped making supplies?! If anyone out there knows of alternative gocco supplies PLEASE let me know. If not, maybe you knows of a similar printing setup that ISN'T going extinct. That would be great too.

I guess the only thing to do, for now, is just to enjoy the time I have left with my beloved Gocco.

I cant wait to see how this first print project turns out with all 3 inks! I'll post when they're finished.

Thanks dude! I'm definitely learning a LOT on my first gocco experiment. I wanted it to turn out completely perfect, and finally resolved that it's just not gonna happen so I should just love it for what it is and put those lessons to the next print. I got color two printed, now we're gonna go see the new bond movie and hopefully it will be dry when I get home and I can finish them up with the third color. Hoping to post results tonight!
