Complete guide: Cheyenne Sol Grip 25mm
This grip is part of the Cheyenne Sol modular system: it is the piece you hold in your hand and into which the cartridge is mounted, with an adjustable mechanism for needle depth. It comes in size M — 25 mm (25.4 mm exactly), the intermediate diameter in the Sol range (S 22.0 mm / M 25.4 mm / L 33.0 mm). It is intended for artists who work on Cheyenne machines and want an original, ergonomic, sterilizable aluminum grip.
How to use
- Check compatibility: the grip is designed for Cheyenne Sol machines (Sol Terra and Sol Luna) and is also compatible with Hawk Thunder and Hawk Spirit.
- Sterilize the grip before use — being made of aluminum, it can be cleaned and sterilized according to your studio protocol.
- Mount the grip onto the machine body until it is securely fixed, with no play.
- Insert a Cheyenne cartridge — all Cheyenne cartridges are compatible with this grip.
- Adjust the needle depth in the range 0 – 4.0 mm, depending on the technique (less for fine linework, more for shading and color packing).
- Cover the grip and machine with protective barriers (film / clip-cord sleeve) before starting the session.
- After the session: discard the cartridge and barriers, clean the grip of residue, and sterilize it for the next client.
Tips from us
- Keep 2–3 grips in rotation so you don't have to wait for the sterilization cycle between clients.
- M (25 mm) is the middle diameter in the range: if you do a lot of fine detail you might prefer S (22 mm), and for long filling sessions L (33 mm) — choose according to your hand and style.
- Fine-tune the needle depth for each technique; consistent needle projection gives you uniform lines and shades.
- Clean the grip immediately after the session, before the ink dries in the mechanism.
- Aluminum is lightweight and helps balance the machine — useful during long sessions for reduced hand fatigue.
Warning: The grip is reusable but must be cleaned and sterilized between clients (aluminum withstands sterilization) and used together with disposable protective barriers. Barriers do not replace sterilization — they are an additional protection layer. Follow your studio's hygiene protocol and local regulations regarding instrument sterilization. The product has a 12-month warranty (plus an additional 6 months after a possible repair).
