My Gocco

Gocco,DIY bride-to-be一點不陌生,因Mrs Cocoa Bean的介紹下,我想應是火速地令許多bride-to-be興奮,甚或四處找它,好讓婚禮能獨特些﹗


Gocco introduction:


The Print Gocco was developed specifically as a "kitchen table printer." In its home country, it's been so popular over its three-decade life that it's estimated that one-third of Japanese households own one. (That would put it on par with things like toaster ovens and sewing machines in the US.)


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 between the layers, and pressure is applied, causing the ink to squeeze out and onto your paper.


You can clean screens and save them to re-use, and you can buy special fabric that will allow you to make screens on the Gocco that you can use to screen-print in a more traditional way. However, Gocco ink doesn't have the same consistency as other screen-printing inks, so substituting common Speedball inks for the special Gocco ink is not recommended for beginners.
