So you may have heard me mention, that for my 40th bday, I bought myself a Button Maker? Well, did I mention that I also bought a Gocco Printer? Heehee.
While I was in school last semester, I didn't have time to play. But this summer is different! I have tons of time and that is what I have been doing!
I love how fast and easy the printing is. I love its' basic techniques, yet exquisite results!
Here is a montage of my Gocco Attempts!
1st: Prepare your printer with a high contrast image from your laser printer.
2) Using Gocco Bulbs & Screens, "flash" your image to make an inkable surface! Ink it up!
3) Insert inked image into cover. Place paper down to be inked.
4) close the cover and give it a little muscle!
This screened was set up to produce (2) ATC sized images so I can use them in swaps. I was able to do two different color themes by placing "blocking" material between the two images. This helps the ink from running into the other image!
Lots of images to dry on the Lego Table! They take about 1/2-1 hour to dry. The more absorbent the paper, the faster the drying time. PLUS...it's been 110 or hotter here, so it's pretty quick!
Printed on various papers & a Moleskine Journal!
Hope you enjoyed this little journey with me!
