I’ve got the mother lode here for Gocco lovers. Not only am I selling my Gocco PG-5 B6, but I’m including 36 masters (screens), 72 lamps (bulbs), 21 inks (for paper), and more. I’m selling it on eBay. Here’s a list of what you’ll get:
- Print Gocco PG-5 B6, in original box
- 7 packs of 5 masters + 1 more master (6 packs are still sealed) = 36 masters
- 7 boxes of lamps with 10 lamps per box + 1 small box of 2 = 72 lamps
- 1 package of ink blocking foam
- 1 blue filter to use with toner copied artwork
- 1 card drying rack
- 1 VHS instructional video (in Japanese), unopened
- English instructions
- Japanese instructions
- 21 RISO HiMesh Inks for paper (all in various stages of use, but 1 is unused)
- 2 AA batteries (only used once today to test the machine)
- RISO pen
The colors include in no certain order (and for some colors, there are more than one): green, silver, orange, red, gold, mustard, yellow, blue, red, purple, white, & navy
I haven’t used this in a few years, so I just burnt a screen to be sure it works fine, and it does! I didn’t check all of the inks, but I opened several and they look fine.
I am selling it because I recently got a thermofax machine, and am using it instead to burn screens. But I used to have a lot of fun printing with the gocco. It’s super easy to use because you can burn the screen and print all with the same machine–it’s self-contained. These are no longer made, but I’m including enough screens and bulbs to keep you busy for a long time. As an FYI, you can flash thermofax film on the gocco to use for screens, but you’ll still need 2 bulbs per flash.
Last night I printed using one of my screens, outside of the gocco, with acrylic paints. I just used a credit card like a squeegee, to pull the paint across the screen.
Here are photos of some of the artwork I did with the gocco.
Go here for the auction.
































































WOW – I wish…..its been something I’ve had on my wish list for awhile.
Cool! I remember watching the Etsy how-to video on this:

Hope it will find a good home!
