Gocco Has Been Saved!

Gocco Saved by Paper Source

Fantastic news on the Gocco front — Paper Source is now carrying Gocco machines, screens, and inks! They’re carrying the “Big Daddy” sized machine, which is twice the size of the B6 and prints sizes up to 6.5″ x 9.3″, allowing for more flexibility in your printing endeavors.

This is definitely great news for Gocco fanatics who are in dire need of supplies or those who have been waiting to try out screenprinting with a Gocco. Yay, Gocco’s back!

Will Gocco Be Saved?

Save Gocco

As many of you know, the future of Gocco (the awesome Japanese screenprinting system) has been in doubt since 2005. However, I surfed onto the Save Gocco site the other day and saw a message from mid-January which stated that they’ve “received uncofirmed news that a U.S. retail chain will be restocking gocco products on a regular basis by early summer.” This may be old news to some of you, but when I read the message I was completely jazzed!

I don’t know how many times that I’ve just wanted to kick myself for not picking up my own Gocco when they were still being manufactured, and I’d snap one up in a jiffy if they were being carried in a retail store again. Of course, I’ll probably end up trying my luck on eBay even if this news turns out not to be true.

C’mon Gocco!
