Improved print registration is available via a new registration table and plate for the Paper system, with the ability to also use only 2 Print Lamps in a single flash - enabling one B5 Print Master to be used on two separate designs.

Christmas may be a little further off than "just around the corner" but remember how busy the last few months of the year always seem to be - children’s end of year functions to attend, more socialising than usual, huge amounts of gift and food shopping to do, cards and letters to be written, festive cooking to prepare and generally catching up with family and friends that we may not have seen since Christmas last year!!!

2) Choose and purchase the type of card you want to print on - plain, coloured or textured – make sure the finished card will fit your envelopes. Your local PRINT GOCCO distributor can supply white cards in packs of 50 that can be folded

3) Check your PRINT GOCCO supplies to make sure you have everything you need to begin printing. Do you have card racks – these are great to keep cards clean while drying and reduce space needed

4) Prepare you artwork in the correct manner (let the GOCCOclub know if you are unsure of method) and begin printing

5) Your Christmas cards should be completed and ready to send within a few hours.

Many of us think of using our PRINT GOCCO machines for card printing, but June Fox has a terrific book, available from your local PRINT GOCCO distributor – "Crafts With June Fox" which has some great ideas for Christmas, including:

• Use the same print master to print Christmas cards, gift tags – even ribbon! Attach print master to the Hand Stamper and stamp onto plain paper for unique gift wrap.

• Christmas Stocking. The book has a stocking template which can be screen printed onto fabric - making up is really simple. Great for your own children/grandchildren or a gift for friends/family.

• Tablecloth/Place mats/Serviettes/Napkin Holders - easy to produce something festive with PRINT GOCCO and the Hand-Stamper.

• Christmas Bon-Bons. All instructions are in June’s book.

• Tree Decorations – lots of templates and suggestions for bells, balls, angels, etc.

• Gift Ideas. Loads of these in June’s book including Printed Boxes (fill with chocolates, pot pourri, soaps, bath pearls, dried fruit and nuts), Barbecue Aprons, Bookmarks, Calendars, Babies’ Cloth Books – too many to list!!! All templates and instructions are include
