Gocco it is!

*I am thoroughly convinced that my world would utterly be turned upside down (for the better) if i was in possession of a Gocco.

"Print Gocco is a Japanese color screenprinting system developed in 1977 by Noboru Hayama. Resembling a toy, the compact and completely self-contained printer is clean, quick and easy to use. The system works using flash bulbs, a carbon-based image or photocopy and an emulsion-coated screen. When the bulbs are manually flashed, the carbon in the drawing or photocopy burns the screen into a stencil. Several colors of Ink can then be applied at one time and multiples can be stamped out, as many as 100 before re-inking is needed. Fans of Print Gocco appreciate its size, cleanliness, relatively inexpensive cost, and the fact that several colors can be printed in one “pass.” "

The thing is, is that they hail from Japan so they are relatively difficult to get your meat mitts on. I have seen some on eBay, but I really am not rolling in exponential amounts of money and can afford to buy the things I feel like I need.
Like a kiln, a pottery wheel, a serger, the entire William-Sonoma store, expensive cupcake tins, Hugh Jackman's muscles, Tyson Ritter's jaw line.
(to name a few)
I maintain that poverty is more enjoyable than prosperity, who wants to actually posses things, when you can just think about your life with them?
