I have been tempted by the Gocco printer for a long time now. Many people have used it in so many creative ways and it always appears so simple and professional. However, until recently I have felt that I was not ready to embark on printing. But all that has changed.

I am finding more and more that I am interested in fabric dyeing, stencilling, stamping etc..... Even printing on paper is tempting!

So the question is whether to buy a Gocco printer or not. There are some very obvious disadvantages to investing in such a machine such as:

• It has been discontinued
• Supplies are limited
• It is expensive

But on the other hand some very clear advantages:

• It does not take up much space
• It seems a good starting point to get into printing on different mediums

I guess in the meantime while I ponder this dilemmna I will work out what designs I want to print. I guess that will help me to decide whether eraser stamping, freezer paper stencilling, screen printing or gocco-ing is the way to go!
