I'm a little confused. Technically, this is "just" screen printing. But it seems way easier and faster to make the Print screens as with "professional" System. Why has nobody made a new, modern Version of this? I can imagine that would be a Hit within the Craft Community.

There is an xtool screenprinter thing that showed up on my pinterest feed this morning, and now this video this evening. The xtool seems similar to this but WAY more expensive and the screens are cut/blasted with a 20w laser. I couldnt tell if it was a coating that was getting removed, or if it was actually burning the perforations? It looked liked you would still have to buy their pre sized & coated screens?

There are Machines called Risographs. They are the grown up version of this toy. Kind of expensive to buy the machines but very fun to work with and the printing is rather cheap if you print in bigger quantities. They have been used as normal printers before the modern laser printers and inkjet printers have been invented. Nowadays they are mostly used by artists. Maybe you can find a Risograph-Studio where you live. We have a couple in my City.

It’s probably not that it has low sales globally that the company discontinued this product but more likely that it has low sales in Japan that they discontinued the product because Japan is only concerned with what’s popular with their own people and not anything outside of Japan. No matter how much non-Japanese people purchase their products, if it’s not hitting the sales goal in Japan then it’s a failure in their eyes and that’s the same for manga and performance artists. Many manga stories or singers were canceled because they were not popular with their own people in their own country. 😔

Very true. Sometimes they even don’t want their product to sell internationally all that much in the first place, I’m a Tamagotchi collector and for a while some of the new releases had features that tried to make it harder for overseas buyers to fully enjoy their device by making them very Japan-centric.

Having used vacuum frames for film exposure thingies, I'd recommend getting some cheap cotton gloves for switching out the bulbs (like, one and done cheap). Depending on how hot those get during the flash stage, the oils that transfer from your hands to the bulb surface can lead to the bulb going ker-blooey. (Acknowledging that you've been using it with no issues before. With your supply concerns, I thought it would be worth suggesting a preventative measure.)

This is silk screen printing for kids....the light bulbs are like the old camera flashes and the light sensitive emulsion on the screen (which is what your smelling) might be different but this is silk screening...and it might take some work but once you run out of supplies it can be done with different reusable silk screen emulsion. Maybe 3D print some screen frames???

Block printing ink is waaaaay to thick for a screen print application so pretty lucky that you got it to work out lol. I’m sure the chemicals of the bulbs aren’t great for you but the main part of it working is probably that it’s a big dose of UV radiation. Repeated exposure would be bad but I do think they stopped manufacturing due to low sales, because while it’s a cool gimmick and is a great intro into screen printing constantly having to buy new bulbs and sheets would be annoying. I wouldn’t think a child would be that dedicated to using it and an artist would eventually just find traditional screen printing more cost effective.

One of the listings on ebay for replacement bulbs has a California Proposition 65 warning sticker. Wonder if that's what you remember. Ingredients in these may include: filaments made from zirconium, rhenium/tungsten alloy, primer made from zirconium power + lead dioxide + Polyvinyl Alcohol. Also may use leaded-solder to connect the leads to the bulb contacts. I'm guessing it's the lead. Technology Connection did a cool video on these bulbs, including some great slomo footage, a few months ago.

Still a bit messy as it requires a squeegee and emulsion like traditional screen printing but it has the exposure unit built in so that's convenient. Pretty sure the bulbs are safe as well lol.

Those bulbs look to be nothing more than old-school flashbulbs, possibly with one of several filter colors that they often came in. The channel Technology Connections has a fantastic series of videos on how they work and why they're so bright. IE: Film photography needs tons of light and single-use bulbs rely entirely on the camera operator since they have no form electronic exposure by nature compared to the more automated design of electronic flashes. They exploit simple chemical reactions between oxygen and metal and should be safe to handle and use. The Print Gocco itself appears to be a cool application of a bunch of existing analog technologies. The bulbs, transparencies, and other things are all items that are still readily available or able to be produced for peanuts if someone wanted to create refill kits and supply the market. It's seems more that nobody's bothered to cobble together the parts to do so at this point in time for some reason. Hopefully that changes and more people get to explore a cool analog way to make prints like this again!

Often a well-meaning criticism gets distorted when passed through a community word-of-mouth. When that also coincides with the early days of the internet, it can disappear into a digital void if it was never quite mainstream enough to show up in newspaper articles or the random bits of old media that get uploaded years later. There would have been several minor safety concerns with the bulbs used in these printers, just as the flashbulbs originally developed for professional photographers caused some minor incidents when popularized as flashcubes for consumer cameras in the 60s and 70s. Yes, they would be emitting some shortwave UV along with harmless UV-A (and a great deal of visible and infrared light as well, not so useful for exposing the screen resist). But for the brief one-time dose one could conceivably get if it was misused, it's more likely to have based on speculation that some kid could figure out how to set it off right in someone's face as a prank or by accident. Clearly this is why it was designed to make it hard for the flashbulb to be set off until the hood was fixed in place over the screen frame. But it was mainly the wastefulness and increasing expense that killed flashbulbs, to be replaced with low cost Xenon flash units. The flash itself wouldn't be enough to give someone skin cancer down the road, but the fear of developing cataracts in the eye from shorter wavelength UV exposures was a fresh concern in the public mind in those days. Not to mention the bulbs would surely be hot enough to burn one's fingers if touched immediately after the flash. Also, the thin glass bulb could break or even explode under the wrong circumstances. The product itself seems just kid-friendly enough that someone, somewhere, would've had concerns about it being misused as though it was a toy and possibly injuring a child who didn't read the instructions. That doesn't mean it would've been pulled from the market. But the concern would have had at least some foundation in truth, however improbable an injury scenario would be when it was used properly.

I have something simpler but modern from ikonart that I use for shirt and paper items. It works pretty good. Might be a good alternative once you are out of supplies. Plus you can print larger items than you can with that thing. You can see it here: ikonartstencil.com/ikonart-custom-stencil-kit/

How is it possible to be able to make stuff like this without getting sued by the owners of the characters? Does this constitute as parody?

There’s no foolproof way to prevent yourself from getting sued over anything you do in public. Even if it’s completely legal for you to do it, if someone has the confidence and money to waste they can just throw a meritless lawsuit at you.

Just act it good faith, try to take steps to ensure you’re not confused for being official merchandise of the company. Be honest about what you’re doing and if the company asks you to stop selling the pics, you can stop before a lawsuit comes about.

Not really worth it to go after individuals unless they're really making money or are using the characters for something distasteful and passing it off as official art.

so its just a flash like from a camera bulb.. might be worth trying it with a 35mm cam.. but you could also look into the xtool laser system that has its own screen printing system..

I think the bigger issue would be the screens. Funny enough that company just emailed me about trying out their screen printer.
