Gocco Printing
Gocco Printing Gocco Printing Championed by graphic designers, illustrators, zine publishers and postcard printers the world over, Gocco refers to a Japanese method of printing coined in 1977 by Noboru Hayama, founder of the Riso Kagaku Corporation.

Having a background in printing that included the invention of the risograph (a digital printing process mainly used for high volume photocopying and printing), Hayama wanted to produce a small scale, playful printing machine that made the process family friendly. The term ‘gocco’ literally translates as ‘make-believe play’ – a factor integral to its concept.
