Hi! I have one... haven't used it yet though! To be perfectly honest, they're not that pricey. They sell them at the Paper Place on Queen St. West. We got a PG5 but they also have the PG11. I cant' remember how much we paid exactly but it was around $200, and that inclued all our ink and everything. We'll need to purchase a few extra screens and bulbs, but I figure that since I'll be making the whole invite suite (not to mention engagement party invites, thank-you cards, attendant gifts, favour cards...) the $200 will save a lot in the long run!
Being the cheap bum that I am...I've been fighting my FI and his offer of buying me one...but the recent posts by Miss Coconut & Cookie..I believe..have me thinking about it more and more...I just really wanna make sure the price tag is worth it!
i got one recently, but my stupidity broke it (long story, it was all my fault)... i'll be getting a replacement part soon enough though. it's extremely worth it getting a gocco. it's a fantastic tool. not only am i using them for all the wedding paper stuff, but i'm also using them to finally make the art prints i've been wanting to make for a while now. i've been recouping the $200 through selling my prints. it's pretty cool!
if you want a tutorial, the paper place should be more than willing to give you one. they've been so accomodating to me. they taught me to use it and they're working right now to get me my replacement part. i love them to bits!

(First time poster here)
The Workroom on West Queen West rents one out (http://theworkroom.ca/)
I think we're going to print our invites with a gooco too. Maybe I'll check them out at The Paper Place (loooooove that place!)
