    Hi!

     

    How long does it take the ink to dry when goccoing invites?

    I let mine dry for about 24 hours before touching them.  They seemed pretty dry at that point so I stacked them all up, however I have noticed a tiny amount of ink sticking to the backside of a couple invites.  From what I have read, drying time varies depending on your climate, as well as the color of the ink- white stays a little tacky for some reason. (Hence, my sticking issue)

    I personally think it depends on the amount of ink you used.  I did mine today and it should dry within an hour. Take a look at mine that i did today

    Beautiful, fadingflower!

    Yeah, it depends on paper, amount of ink and pressure, but mine only took a couple of hours for each layer.

    ACK!  I have a PG-5 machine and...*gasp* I don't think I can print on 5x7 flat cards!   I was planning on doing invitations on 5x7 Flat cards.  Does anyone know if it is possible?  I might have to change my whole design. 

     

    Help!

    haru - it's totally possible. You'll have to split up your design onto multiple screens though.  Try splitting the top & bottom or left & right.

    I agree with sandpapertongue you have to split up into multiple screen.  I did an invitation like this below was split up into two screens. One for the image and one for the texts part and was on 7 x 5 A7 Flat card:     Good Luck !  I hope I helped in some ways Gocco  Drying Time :  wedding 2182249914 297e3b8719

    Lette - here are some tips:

    • Plan everything out before burn your stuff on the master screen.
    • Make sure you enough gocco supplies and inks
    • Align everything where you want your images and texts to be. 
    • Make sure you get a good copy of the stuff your are going to print on from a laser print that has good amount of carbon ink.
    • Make some sample prints to see if the ink amount is enough. 
    • And have fun =)

    I let mine dry for about an hour

    The blue filter regulates how much light is exposed to photocopied prints
