I was excited to use my Gocco for the first time today and try to burn and print a new brocade design. I watched 9 YouTube videos in preparation. I printed the paper at work on the HP Laser Jet. With the paper cut down to size, I set up the gocco and burned the screen. In every video the original just peels off the screen, mine however stuck. I had to peel a strip at a time and use a spray bottle to wet the paper to get it all off. I was able to push a small amount of ink through, but something is obviously not right. I backtracked all of my steps and watched 2 videos again. I'm pretty sure I did everything right. The only thing I can think of is that the Paper I used may be a multi-use paper with a bit of gloss and maybe it melted to the screen. I'm going to xerox a print out on normal paper and see if that changes things. I hate to waste another screen and 2 more bulbs if I'm doing something else wrong.
Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?
