I have finally made a print from my new Gocco printer. I got it as a birthday gift from my husband, and for one reason or another I haven't had a day to get to work on it. I think I had first print syndrome, where each design I came up with, wasn't worthy of wasting a screen and set of bulbs on. After much discussion with Amy, I bit the bullet, and shot away. It was really very rewarding to just make the thing! Now that I have wasted the first set of film and bulbs, I want to get going on a few more to complete a line of cards for etsy.
I have been a collector of paper for years, and so my inspiration for these cards was my origami collection.

Super cute, Miss Laurie. I recognize that paper. :)
I like it! Prints off the Gocco look very good.
Thanks! I was really pleased with my first try.
Do you know if the Gocco can still be purchased in the U.S.? I heard they were discontinued :(
Ben,
You can find of list of places that sell Gocco units in the states here:

I have had no problems finding supplies. Send me an email if you need more information. :)

You can purchase Gocco in the States, but they are more expensive than buying them through Etsy from Japan. Even with the shipping. Search Etsy: Gocco Materials.
Many thanks! Do you think the PG11 is worth the extra money to have the adjustable registration? I hear there is a way to do it with transparencies on the other model.
Ben, I have the PG-11 and find the registration guide VERY helpful. I was willing to chip in the extra $$ and pleased I did. Although, you could rig a clear guide and use that too. I'm not sure which model Laurie has. I'm sure she will weigh in with an opinion.
I have the PG-5, and it doesn't have the registration. For me costs were an issue, so that helped make my decision easier.
