Indeed

Let me know if it worked

@@TattooShopTalk It didn’t 💔😂

same thing, reset doesn't work

It has its benefits specially considering price

Agreed

but cost lot owerprice, you can buy 10 brother printer one germany big box. and cheapen use brother inkjet than this big ugly box, if germany can use next 500 Hour same money can use 10 pocket printer 50 000 Hour, lot lot cheapen.

Thanks for input. I can't think of many budget friendly options for stenciling

@@TattooShopTalk budget printer cost old FAX 10-30$ portable wifi/bluetooth mini printer same than brother inkjet, pocket size 80-130$

I have one I like it for some things but the stencils never last as long on the skin as the spirit transfer paper. Sometimes I can get them to last a decent amount of time but it can be very hit or miss depending on the clients skin I have found. I dont trust it for very complex stencils but it does come in handy sometimes for sure. You just need them all they all have pros and cons . Also the inkjet is prone to clogging up and sometimes then you need to replace the printer more often than these other options

I was looking at them and price of Ink scared me at the time plus on some tattoo pages as much as people love them there are as many who complain. At the moment I have no need for one apart from curiosity reason. Thanks for input.

Thanks for input. These points I read pretty often and it just seems unreliable considering how sensitive printers are.

@@TattooShopTalk totally understand your point! I use the printer and it’s fine and for the same reason you mentioned I still keep some carbon stencil paper around just in case. So far so good though. Thanks for your many reviews on products as wall as the flipping ink bans.

@@TattooShopTalk Use with photoshop and if people complain they don't know how to use them. Print in black and you get about 5K stencils. It will take a ton of $ for stencil ink but who says you have to fill it? Just buy a bottle for $180. I put just a little in the 3 color ink tanks and the rest in the black. Then print in only black. I have a EPSOM ET-2720 and it does up to 10 prints a minute without any fuss. Watch this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7WnZbRn3dbVmnU.html . Even if you buy one and fill it with 2 bottles it's still costs less than most of those things and you never have a problem. I have had mine for 6 months and I love it. How much does 5,000 pieces of stencil paper cost? The stencils come out better than anything I have ever seen and I'm 50.

What style are you doing? I know that in realistic style there's a pretty steady hand stencil crowd

If u have an iPad you can do that without having to trace or trace the design the night before that's what i do l if your not comfortable i did mine by hand for awhile but your stencils always usually have imperfections lines getting to thin or 2 thick the amount of pressure u have to put to actually get it to transfer isn't ideal when your doing fine lines or lines as shading or detail for that matter I want my needles to match my stencil and that's hard to do by hand

I always see portrait artist do stencils by hand but that you really need to understand where the light and dark tones are going but even then I would print mine! time is money people why spend a extra hour doing something you could do in 5 mins thing is when you do a stencil by hand if you mess up there's no fixing it you gotta restart and that's another hour so that's where printers come in hand u always have clients that don't like the original placement or want to change the design and that's who u should have in mind

yes but not accurate and easy, waste lot time. if need make same stencil 2-3 time new waste lot time.

Thanks for input

For fineline work Brother seems to be best option. But cheap ones seem to be hit or miss depending on unit

You can use smaller bits - then you have to figure out how to align them.

What do you mean by printing press?

We print on a cheap HP DeskJet 2620 and on a big office printer Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 one is ink other toner.

Ok - not stolen

@@TattooShopTalk Lol, Where I live we have a system in our building, people leave stuff (on a shelf in the hallway) that's still (usable?) for others to take instead of just throwing away, but yea to the best of my knowledge Not stolen.

Yours was at very good price. The one I got is around 180€ still doesn't take long to pay off

Any generic A4 printer paper from grocery store down the road

Maybe included stencil paper might not be that great. But could you tell a bit more on what's the issue exactly

It could be a quality of stencil paper or maybe machine needs cleaning or like with a cheaper stuff - might be faulty unit

cheap shit paper make flakes, need buy better maybe cheapen spirit thermal paper.

There are knock offs out there but then I would look for a second hand Brother one.

@@TattooShopTalk new pocket inkjet (same than brother) cost 80-120$ only and need thermal paper can print good.

Yes you need a regular printer as well

Could you expand on question. I have no idea what is - mask in printing for makeup application...

@@TattooShopTalk well one creates a mask all it does is prevents light from burning the entire surface of the metal plate.bery old offset printing. The ink only sticks to that part of the plate while inside the press. Anyways I was thinking of a way to make that happen but with makeup. One prints off a thing that blocks all makeup but for the pattern printed. Then the user places that in their face paints the whole thing then removes it revealing the pattern. If you can make that happen the idea then prove there's a market for it then sell the concept it would be a new generation of makeup application. Hey I can't make it happen maybe you can. Maybe you use all that income for something good figured good idea. I got tons this was just makeup. Anyways I learned it from going to printing classes I had dropped out of highschool so I went to a community college cus my parents wanted me to learn something. Guess I did think interference patterns. Here's another idea. Head shops. You make a display case to hold smoke pipes the ones with the crazy swirls. They sit on the shelf but a Lazer shines on them and it projects images on the walls near by. Light art I call it. The lasers should move or the pipes so the images change. It's very beautiful. If you ever gain from these ideas make me a robot AI that can tattoo anything like a printer. I have no tats I'm waiting for the singularity. Then I'm gonna get a full body. Mainly things relating to music and geometry frequency resonance energy. I can help develop but I don't want any income and no one can know I had anything to do with it. I'd like to be more or less invisible. " We live in the now but believe there's only a few" get yourself high - basement jax- darn it sorry that's chemical brothers

Now either take a hot bath and listen to your wife. RELAX have a Starbucks have a think. " Sitting with the thinker trying to work it out" let's go all the way. That's a song. Let your mind float down stream. The life you save could be your own. Think

@@topdawg3359 holy hell, how high are you? No this wouldn't work for a mask... it makes tattoo stencils... it puts dye on the skin... its not a layer to block anything, and Goodluck wiping it off without completely removing makeup... you do understand the tattoo process right? Like, this stuff doesn't just peel off or wipe away

Probably original is too dark or has long dark areas horizontally over the sheet. That's my first guess

I don't think it would fit this machine

@@TattooShopTalk so a A4 Teflon carrier wouldn't work?

I'm not planning to try because anything more than few sheets of paper will be too much for this cheap stencil machine

Of you go from good one to this one then it feels really bad. Not as bad as pocket jets but still bad

Which one?

Lol wtfthat helps, you dont even say which one

Then we can add inconsistencies in quality to the list

Same problem here how to fix that shit? Reset doesn't work, and then there's so many lines/stripes while printing

On average twice as long and twice as thin as a regular potato

It does the job while it works. It's not bad but there are more efficient options out there.

If budget is not an issue then latest and greatest pocket jet. If budget is sensitive then cheap one or second hand pocket jet.

I have heard about old dot matrix printers good things but they are hard to adapt to modern ports on computers

@@TattooShopTalk UCN-100 paraller port adapter can use old printer to usb port. not perfect dot matric have but old FAX thermal printer can use "copy" option.

I am curious about fax thing

Well... Can't complain about free button

Pretty standard here

This have been scientifically answered in previous comment.

Still... a good question

Hand stenciling is cheapest option and good practice for tracing

It prints just fine... at least mine does

What are you trying to ask or say?
