Hi Sophie, the HP C6380 use cartridges 364 (or 364 XL, for better value), in magenta, yellow, blue, black and photoblack. 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!

Thanks so much Maartje! 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!

Hi Sophie and Ellie, just wanted to let you know I tried making a master with an inkjet print and it worked perfectly! 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.

Thanks Maartje- I just talked to a kinkos person who says that their kinkos printers are going to be replaced next month! 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?

@Ellie Thanks for your answer. 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!

Hi! I really hope that you can help me… I just got my Gocco and I am SO disappointed. I am using a photocopy with the blue filter and my screens are not burning AT ALL. I have already wasted 3 screens and 6 bulbs and can’t bring myself to waste more without knowing what’s wrong. I have been combing the internet looking for answers, this isn’t fun anymore. Basically the bulbs fire, and I open the Gocco and nothing is there. Should I order new bulbs? Are the bulbs not strong enough? Can the screens be exposed more than once? I’m losing my mind!!! :(

Hi, yes, some photocopiers don’t have enough carbon in them to work with the gocco. I haven’t had that happen (kinko’s has been reliable for me), but I have heard of that. Hope you get it straightened out soon; how frustrating!

Hi! I’ve been making gocco prints succesfully using the riso pen, but the one I did with a photocopy didn’t work. The print wouldn’t burn correctly into the screen; some parts did, some parts didn’t. And with the blue screen was worse than without. Do you know of some copiers not using carbon? And have you tried it with laser prints? I’m hesitant to experiment with this, because every time it’s a ruined screen and wasted bulbs. Thanks for your help!
