This skin preparation solution is intended for artists who print their stencils on an inkjet printer (including modified CISS systems) and need the digital design to adhere clearly and durably to the skin. It is sprayed on the shaved and cleansed area before applying the printed stencil, creating a thin layer that captures the pigment and keeps it visible throughout the session. According to the description, it can also be used with traditional carbon-based transfer sheets. It is a studio consumable designed for the digital inkjet workflow, as an alternative to stencil gels and solutions.
What's the difference from classic Stencil Stuff?▾
Classic solutions like Stencil Stuff are designed for hectographic (thermal/carbon) paper, where transfer is done by pressure. This prep spray is formulated for inkjet ink, which needs a receptor layer on the skin to adhere. If you print with inkjet and use a classic solution, the transfer will be pale and wear off quickly. Conclusion: choose the product that matches your transfer method.
How long does the stencil last when applied with this spray?▾
Applied correctly, a stencil generally lasts 4-8 hours under normal working conditions. Durability depends on how clean the skin is at application, how much the client sweats, how often you wipe the area (water/green soap), and how aggressive the technique is. On sweaty areas, apply an extra layer.
Is it compatible with Electrum or InkJet Stencils ink?▾
Yes, according to the description it is compatible with common stencil inkjet inks, including Electrum and InkJet Stencils, and has been used with CISS systems on modified printers. Important: use dedicated stencil ink, not regular printer ink.
Can I use it on sensitive skin?▾
On healthy, unbroken skin it can be used; according to the description it is formulated without perfumes or irritating colorants. Do not apply to active eczema, open wounds, or irritations. For sensitive skin, do a patch test on a small area 24 hours in advance and discontinue if any reaction occurs.
How many applications can I get from a 240 ml bottle?▾
Approximately 80–120 applications, depending on stencil size and how much spray you use. A medium stencil usually requires 2–3 short sprays, while a large one (sleeve or back piece) may need 5–7.
Does it leave residue on the skin or hinder tattooing?▾
According to the description, it leaves no greasy residue and does not interfere with tattoo ink penetration. Any residue left on the skin is easily cleaned with isopropyl alcohol at the end.
