After a few initial teething problems, I managed to squeeze out some ok prints with the new toy!

As long as you absolutely load your screen with ink when setting up - the rest is so quick and easy. I was really impressed with the one-step screen flash. All you need to work with is a good quality laser print or photocopy of your artwork and in seconds you have a stencil. So much easier and quicker than flashing a silkscreen stencil but much the same effect.

My only gripe with the Gocco kit - the screen cleaner which is included is a bit rubbish so I’m looking into getting an alternative called Gocco Grrll, or, as I’ve just found out, olive oil/babylotion or lanolin hand cream can do the job.

What does make things easier is the fact that the oil based ink doesn’t dry out in the screen so you can leave ink in your screen, wrap it up so its air tight, and in theory you can just carry on printing at a later date!

Anyway here are a couple of shots of what I’ve managed to produce so far….’Hares in Moonlight’
