What is Gocco?

Print Gocco is a Japanese color screenprinting system developed in 1977 by Noboru Hayama. Resembling a toy, the compact and self-contained printer is clean, quick and easy to use.

At one time, nearly 1/3 of all Japanese households owned a Gocco. In the ’90’s, Print Gocco slowly started to develop a following in the indie-craft movement, gaining notoriety as a cost-effective and efficient method of printing multiples.

In 2005 Riso (the parent company of Print Gocco) pulled the plug on Gocco, claiming
a sharp decrease in sales was to blame.

An Internet campaign was started to find a new home for the product.
