Wedding No more Gocco?

[musincy]

I''ve seen so many great DIY invitations here on PS, and now I really want a gocco! I love making cards, so even if I bought my wedding invitations, I know I''d get lots of use out of it.

However, I''ve been reading some articles about gocco being discontinued by the maker Riso. They''ve stopped making the actual gocco printer, and will stop making all of the additional products (inks, screens, etc.) in the next year.

My question is... is there another company that makes the gocco and isn''t going to stop making their products? I don''t want to invest in this if I won''t even be able to use it after a little while

I thought maybe some of you that have used the Gocco might know something I don''t!

I''ve gone completely Gocco crazy. It seems like they''ve been trying to pull Gocco for the past 3 years. Personally I think it''s making a comeback. If you know anyone in Japan or taking a trip there, I hear you can get a secondhand Gocco for super cheap.

I got mine from print addict, who sells on etsy.com and ebay. See http://www.savegocco.com/resources.html for links to U.S. supplies online. I got ink from think ink.

I love my Gocco. I hope they never pull it off the market.

hmmm I just googled gocco and watched some videos on youtube and I definitely did something like that with the screen in highschool, and it was fun, no I want one to make invitations... hehehe I saw some on ebay, whats a good price for one??? Oh ya can you wash the screen and reuse it (with the same thing on it) just getting the ink off to use a diff color?? Also how hard is it to find replacement parts?? like the bulbs and ink and stuff??? Thanks!

paper-source.com has goccos for sale. I bought mine through them. I order my supplies from a place in florida called Northwood Studios. The lady is super fast.

I can''t rave enough about my gocco. I printed my wedding invitations with them. I posted here about a week ago. I will bump the post so you can see.
