My Gocco Printer!!!!!!!!
This is a picture of every thing in the box displayed nice and neat. Unfortunately, it does not look that way in my living room. Things have kind of exploded.
For those of you not in the know - Gocco is a fully self-contained compact color printing system invented in the 1977 by Noboru Hayama. Using flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen.
The name "print gocco" is derived from the Japanese word and concept "gocco", loosely translated as a type of make-believe play used to learn common rules and knowledge.
In December 2005, Gocco’s parent company, "Riso", announced they are ending production of the Gocco system due to low sales in Japan. An Internet campaign was started to find a new home for the product. (definition courtesy of Wikipedia)
So all I want to do now is print something. But because you of the process, just playing around for one or two prints is not really the thing to do. The goal is to use this printing machine to create save the dates, invitations, reply cards, thank you cards, anything card related for the rest of my life, etc.
Examples of Gocco-created invites are below (click the links):
WeddingBee example-this also gives a bit of an example of the process
