Resurrecting the Print Gocco Printing System from the late 1970s @partytimeHXLNT

The Print Gocco was a popular at-home printing device produced by Japanese company Riso Kagaku starting in the late 1970s. The process was something like stamping-meets-screenprinting and allowed users to produce small color prints for greeting cards and textiles.

While marketed to adults, its chunky design and ease of use gave it a toy-like quality. It’s believed that at the height of its popularity, one of three Japanese homes had a Print Gocco device.

The No Bad Memories blog looks into the Print Goccu and how to reserrect the process using modern materials in the post here and the follow-on post here.
