I just purchased a PG-10 Gocco from Ebay and am eagerly awaiting its arrival! In the meantime I need to stock up on supplies. Papersource is out of screens so I emailed them to be notified when they restock. Has anyone had any experience with this--do you know how long it takes them to restock?

Also, on Marlene's site, there is the option to purchase screens by the foot along and separate frames. Just wondering how this works and if this is intended to replace the regular screens.

Lastly, does anyone know if they are still selling screens at Tokyo Hands? I know they were as of October 2008, just wondering if anyone has gone recently.

Thanks!!

I went to Tokyo in early March of this year and Tokyu Hands still had plenty of supplies. Some of the limited edition inks were out, but they still had lots of screens and bulbs.

thanks! Do you happen to know the cost of screens and bulbs there? I just want to be able to give my friend an estimate if possible. Thanks again!

Back in March a pack of 4 bulbs (enough for two screens) was 840 Yen and a pack of two screens was 735 Yen. (So depending on exchange rates its about 9-10 bucks each).

Yes, Tokyu Hands still have supplies. I too just purchased a Gocco off ebay and had FSIL go and pick up supplies while she was vacationing in Japan (last week as a matter of fact). I can confirm the prices have not changed as well.
