Sup, yudu?

I've wanted to get into screen printing for a long time, but I'm too impatient for the process. Then, I recently came across the Gocco. Oh, gocco... The extremely toxic bulbs and emulsified screens seemed to be the answer to instant screen printing; although, it's more like a stamp. So, i searched and searched only to find the product is discontinued. Yep, the machine, bulbs, inks, everything. My last hope was that someone out there would be willing to sell theirs. Chances were slim and the price tag was high. I got over the idea and moved on...

But then, "Yudu is the new Gocco" subjects emerge. Ooooooh! A new product, the market has been waiting for. I don't think this thing will be discontinued anytime soon. Well, unless they modify somethings...oh maybe like the price tag: $299 - Doh! It comes with some supplies to get started but then you have to drop more $$$ for additional uses. Ugh. The only way I could justify buying this item is if i added it to my "things to make and sell" list. Which currently is a long list of things that I have yet to get working on...

Detailed review here.
The forum is here.

I think I will start with the old fashion way and see if I like it. Then, maybe somewhere down the line, I'll make the investment. It would be really neat if I could silk screen the paper goods, signage, honeymoon bikini, bridesmaid t-shirts and gifts for the wedding. Ooooh!

Speaking of bridesmaids... I ought to get rolling on their invites.
