welcome to savegocco.com!
japanese fans have enjoyed using "print gocco" for over 25 years. as such, interest in the system has run it's course in japan. outside japan, however, a ground swell of appreciation for the "print gocco" system has only just begun. those of us who've known gocco a short time are understandably saddened by riso's decision to discontinue manufacturing the "print gocco" system due to stagnant sales in their home market.
yes, the rumors you may have heard are true, gocco is "going out of print." but maybe it's not too late if we all work together to find a new home for gocco outside japan!
savegocco.com was created december 10, 2005 and hopes to be an easy-to-use starting point for all things gocco, equipping fans with simple gocco-friendly tools to help promote it's continuation. this site is not affiliated with gocco or it's current parent company, riso, in any way. we're just fans trying to keep it alive!

"it is the journey that counts, not the goal itself." - noboru hayama, "print gocco" inventor and founder
"mr. hayama's vision for the future is the same philosophy which has guided RISO's growth for the last 50 years. it is the idea that you should seize the day, dare to fail, care for your community, and you will eventually succeed." - riso, print gooco's parent company
