The Proton range transfer solution, in a 250 ml airless format, is the consumable that fixes the design from the stencil paper onto the skin before tattooing. The Evolution formula, water-based and alcohol-free, is designed for adhesion on all skin types, including oily or sweaty skin, and the airless dosing system releases a consistent amount with each pump, without air contact inside the bottle. It is a suitable choice both for busy artists and for studios that want precise dosing and minimal waste.
What does 'airless' mean and why does it matter for a transfer solution?▾
The airless bottle has no classic dip tube; instead, a piston pushes the product upward as it is used, preventing air from entering. In practice: each pump delivers the same amount, the remaining product does not oxidize or become contaminated with airborne bacteria, and the bottle empties almost completely with no inaccessible residue at the bottom. For a transfer solution, consistent dosing directly impacts stencil quality — too little gives a weak transfer, too much blurs the lines.
How long does a 250 ml bottle last me?▾
According to the manufacturer, the 250 ml format covers approximately 200-300 applications because airless dosing eliminates waste. For an artist with 4-5 sessions per week, this means several months of use from a single bottle in practice.
Does it work on oily or sweaty skin?▾
Yes, the Evolution formula is specifically developed for adhesion on all skin types, including oily, sweaty, or textured skin. For best results on very oily skin, degrease the area with isopropyl alcohol before application — a standard preparation step that helps any transfer solution.
Is it compatible with my stencil paper and thermal printer?▾
Yes. The product works with stencils from thermal printers — including Brother PJ and portable printers — as well as manually applied carbon paper. It is compatible with common thermal papers like Spirit, S8, or ReproFX, so you don't need to change your other consumables.
How do I use it hygienically when working with multiple clients?▾
Basic rule: pump the solution onto a disposable paper towel, new for each client, and the bottle nozzle should never touch the skin. Work with gloves and discard the towel after each application. An advantage of the airless format is that the product inside remains isolated from air, so it does not become contaminated over time — but application hygiene remains your responsibility, as with any studio consumable.
Does it contain alcohol? Or animal-derived ingredients?▾
No. The formula is water-based, completely alcohol-free, so it does not produce a burning sensation on freshly shaved skin and does not excessively dry it out, as can happen with traditional alcohol-based solutions. According to the manufacturer, the product is vegan and cruelty-free, with no animal-derived ingredients.
