The paper stuck to the emulsion and ripped as we pulled the paper off (right after the exposure). With some care, we peeled off as much of the paper as we could. Then we carefully scrubbed the rest out with a wet paper towel. In the end, the screen came out just fine - just took a little extra elbow grease. Hope this helps (even though it's really late). @erin – from feb last year

Their availability here in Amsterdam, or online, is fine. Also other HP printers work, but not sure which (see gocco printers group on Yahoo). I'm very happy with the quality of my printer. Only downside is it runs out of ink pretty fast, and the cartridges aren't cheap. Good luck!

This may be overkill, but is there any way you can link me to the exact ink cartridges you use for your printer? Thinking about getting one and just want to check on availability. Thanks again!

Best masters up to now. I have a HP C6380 printer. Apparantly you need Vivera ink. My cartridges don't mention this, but it works. Other printers work as well. There's a list on the gocco yahoogroups. Maybe this will work for you. Hi Sophie and Ellie, just wanted to let you know I tried making a master with an inkjet print and it worked perfectly!

Kinkos copiers are the only copiers that I have heard have enough carbon. I haven't tried a kinkos copy yet, but I'm hoping that you're right about the carbon and that's the problem. Except I can't hand letter all these- does anyone know of carbon inks you can buy?

No kinkos in Amsterdam so I'll have to look for other, maybe older machines. @Sophie I had the same problem. You van use the screen again so you havent lost them, but I've wasted some bulbs just like you. I think there's not enough carbon in the copiers we're using. Leaving out the blue screen helps, but if possible trace your prints with the goccopen. Only thing that works for me. Good luck! @Ellie Thanks for your answer.
