WHERE CAN I GET A PRINT GOCCO ??
May 2007
There is no PRINT GOCCO distributor, in the U.K. and no, sorry, I don't have a
spare one...
The easiest way to get hold of one is from eBay.
Machines, Inks and Supplies are readily available at Buy-It-Now prices from several Japanese sellers
who have spotted a gap in the market...
In Japan, you can buy one for Y 9,800 at the wonderful
TOKYO HANDS crafts & hobby department store - branches in all major cities.
NEHOC.COM.AU do not supply Print Gocco Kits outside of Australia
but their website is a useful source of information...

WHICH PRINT GOCCO SHOULD I GET ? - well given the present situation - any that you can get your hands on!
The PG-6 is the cheapest, most basic, entry-level Print Gocco.
If you're just going to be doing single-screen prints, or cost is an important factor,
then this is the machine for you.
The PG-11 is the latest Print Gocco Model, it is much more precise for
card placement and colour registration - essential if you are going to be
doing multi-screen prints.
Any Print Gocco will do multi-colour prints in one impression.
Any Print Gocco screens can be used for fabric printing - using the special fabric inks,
- see NEHOC website for more information on fabric printing.
Whichever machine you choose, I'd recommend getting a whole range of
different inks to play with, and be prepared to experiment/play around
with/mess up/ 5 screens - seems like a lot but that's the way you'll
really learn.
R.T.F.M., Read the F****** Mannual, Read it again.
If you got a machine from Japan, and can't read japanese, ask me nicely,
and I'll send you a copy of the english language mannual for £????.
