Inkdesigner, aka Wing Ngan is a Hong Kong born designer who now runs his own design firm, Ink Design, in Boston.Inkdesigner will be initially selling 3 limited edition Gocco prints at a very affordable price. I can't wait to see these prints in person.
"What's a Gocco print?", do I hear anyone ask?
Gocco printing is "print gocco" is a clean, easy, and fully self-contained compact print system that exposes and prints all in one unit. It uses flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, where an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen. Colourful prints are made by pressing the ink-applied master screen against a sheet of paper placed on a sponge pad.
Sadly, the Japanese company that make the Goccos have announced that they will no longer be making Gocco printers ... such a shame.
Anyway, it's great to have some Gocco Prints from Inkesigner. You can check out more of his work at his flickr page.
