Wonderful Gocco Butterfly

[Olena Spicer]

Received from Amy Candiotti today - entitled "Painted Lady". Thank you, Amy :) I really enjoyed it.

Jenn Miltenberger Thanks, this is what I expected. I may just have to go the conventional silk screen route with all of the time consuming steps.

Hi Michael,

I mainly work with my old stock. My Gocco/many supplies I have were purchased 15 years ago... so find supplies is very limited. You also can use exposed thermofax screens for textile screenprinting and other inks instead (but I don’t know much about this).

I'm not sure where best to post this - I'm curious whether Gocco printing is viable anymore? I'm intrigued because it greatly simplifies the process of making screen prints. I've not used Gocco yet but understand the benefits. Is there a supplier of new screens, ink and bulbs or is everyone working from an ever-diminishing supply of old stock?

Yay - I am glad the postcard has finally made it to you!!  I will keep an eye on the mail from Greece - have never received mailed from Greece before! Thank you, Katerina :)

Gocco prints are fabulous!

Olena, your butterfly arrived in Greece with today's mail delivery!

Thank you so much! (and something for you was put in the mail yesterday,

but who knows "when" it might arrive with the sloooow HELLenic Post?)

sabrina, here's a link to the wikipedia on the gocco printer. sadly, they don't seem to be made anymore. i believe this is also the system ryosuke uses for printing the braincells.
