Does anyone know how I can get this clean? I think that it's ingrained on there. Does anyone know of a US supplier where I can get a replacement staging glass for the PG-5? I've e-mailed Northwoods and two others without luck. I did find one company in Australia, but I don't even want to think about what shipping would be.
My gocco is BRAND NEW! This is only my 9th time using it. I could just cry.
i have done the same thing before, but had the blue screen in, so my image is burned on there. when i e-mailed judy at northwoods about it, she said to just leave it and it should be fine. i have since burned a new image onto a screen, and the burning on my blue screen did not effect it.
i am not sure if this will be the same with yours. maybe try burning a new image onto a screen and see if the burn on the plastic effects it at all.
I did that and yes the image burned on the glass (plastic) but I have used it tons of time since. It seemed to have no effect. Just make sure ink doesn't get stuck in the crevices.
oh my god that totally happened to me before. unfortunately for me, the design was MASSIVE and even when we were able to scratch most of the design off (took a lot of elbow grease), my gocco hadn't been the same since. i had to get a replacement.
i know you can get replacement parts from the manufacturer. i was able to get one ordered in through the store i bought my gocco from. there was a mix-up with the parts though (they ended up sending me the part for a PG-5 -- see! they do exist for you! instead of a PG-11) so i ended up getting a replacement gocco all together... but yea, if you can't get it off and you find that its affecting your screens afterwards... don't worry, you CAN get a replacement :)
I just burned an image on my gocco without putting a screen in. The image burned to the plastic that holds the screen in place. Check out the damage:

Any advice would be appreciated.

I ordered my gocco through them and my order was accurate and fast.

And good luck
