What is Gocco?

Well kids here how it goes... in the 1970's Noboru Hayama, a printer and the japanese inventor of the "print gocco" system, wished to develop a quick and easy household color printing system. Cleverly combining the basic principles of screen printing and rubber-stamping, "print gocco" is a clean, easy, and fully self-contained compact system that exposes and prints all in one unit. using flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen. next, colorful prints are made by pressing the ink-applied master screen against a sheet of paper placed on a sponge pad.

The simplicity in making a screen, and the low cost of production makes the gocco system attractive to professional screen printers, artists, and designers, and enables even a complete novice to begin printing immediately....
