gocco printing 1st edition
Apr 10, 2008
- this means if you create your image/ pattern on the computer you either need to use a laser printer (has carbon) or print off from your ink jet (which i have) and run to office depot or kinkos and run off a xerox copy (which has carbon).
- when i got back with my xerox copies i cut the images out and lined them up with the grid of the gocco drawing papers, to ensure that my images where square.here are 3 pre-master screen layouts, i crammed a lot on each screen (i figure why waste a screen on 1 graphic, why not fill it all up?) the dark image all the way to the right is the one i plan on using for the rehearsal dinner invites.
- next you place the images you want to burn onto the pad w/ grid
- then you slide the blue screen in next to the plexi glass window
- between the blue screen and the image you want to burn - you slide in the mesh screen with it's blue side facing you & red arrow pointing down.
- next you put what i'll call the flash bulb house in the top
- push down and you'll see a bright flash
- for good measure, i dunno if it helps/matters of not, but i hold the lid down for a few seconds. to me it seems like the extra heat time might help further the image transfer! i might be crazy though... =)
- then go ahead and take off the flash bulb house and throw away the bulbs (remember they're toxic)
- take the screen out along with the blue screen ( you're done using it now you can put it away) and pull back the plastic flap of the mesh screen and foam block around the image you want to use
- apply your desired ink inside the foam block - the dark areas are where the ink will push through the screen
- put the screen back in the gocco unit the same with blue side facing out and red arrow pointing down.
- put your paper on the foam printing pad and stamp away!
