I scanned and reduced my original work. I knew I was going to use my B6 Print Gocco to print the invitations. I learned on one of my Gocco groups that certain HP Vivera printer inks contain enough carbon to burn masters on the Print Gocco. I checked my HP printer, and sure enough, my printer used a carbon based ink. I was thrilled! No more begging my brother to lug over his old, carbon based photocopier to my house! The above is just a test sample I printed on black paper. My niece's colors will be gold and seafoam. I was very happy with the results of the HP-Gocco combination, especially that the hairlines were not lost.
Happy Flourish Friday everyone - I hope you enjoy your weekend!
Jane you did a beautiful job on your niece's invitation! I actually like it better than the one in the Martha Stewart magazine. Your variety of sizes and flourishes look great!
ReplyDeletehi jane!! gorgeous letterforms and flourishes!! that's a great tip about the gocco....i've been babying my little photocopier just so i can still use my gocco!! you got a great print from your gocco....that's great that you didn't lose all of those fabulous hairlines!! :)
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! Matt and I are so excited! And it definitely looks even better than the DeCollibus one!
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous! It's so awesome a Gocco can capture the fine details. I was super close to buying one, but opted on a tabletop letterpress when the prices on Goccos were sky rocketing. Your work is wonderful and I love to check it out from time to time.
ReplyDeleteJane, this invitation is gorgeous! And a nice Gocco printing job. I have the large Gocco printer, and of course, am now stuck with a very expensive, obsolete machine. Would love to find out where you continue getting supplies. I probably need to stock up.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteI can no longer find Gocco supplies locally, but had a great experience purchasing from Judy at Northwood Studios:
