Gocco Printing

I had this dream of hand writing and drawing my wedding invitations and save the dates. I'm starting to think it will not become reality. Shane got me the PG-11 Gocco Printer for Christmas and I tested it out last night. It did NOT go well.
First I researched and I researched and I watched many tutorials. Everyone kept saying how easy it was. Well it didn't look that difficult I guess. So I followed all the instructions and pressed down to burn the image onto my screen. After opening the lid I realized there was a clear sheet that was blocking the screen from being burned. Awesome! So I wasted two bulbs which is about $8.50. On the second try I must not have held the cover down long enough or something? Maybe the machine didn't like the Riso pen I used instead of using a Laser printer. Every print came out globby on the word part and faded looking on the branch part. I still don't know what really went wrong!
