Spirit Carbon sheets are transfer papers that allow you to move a hand-drawn design onto the skin before starting the tattoo. They are intended for artists who work freehand or who prepare their stencils by drawing them manually, not using a printer. This pack is the professional bundle of 200 A4 sheets, Spirit brand, designed for high-consumption studios. The sheets are manufactured in the USA and use a layer of wax and dyes for a clean transfer of lines.
Can I use these sheets with a thermal printer or copier?▾
No. The Spirit Carbon sheets in this pack are intended exclusively for hand-drawn stencils (freehand) and are not compatible with thermal printers. If you work with a thermal copier, you need transfer paper specifically marked as compatible with thermal printers.
What is the difference from hectograph paper and who is carbon suitable for?▾
The carbon version is designed for manual drawing and tracing: the artist creates the outline on the sheet, and the carbon layer transfers it to the skin. If you work manually, carbon is the right choice; if you use a thermal printer, you need paper compatible with it. Choose according to your workflow.
How many sheets does the pack contain and who is it suitable for?▾
The pack contains 200 A4 sheets, manufactured in the USA. It is a professional bulk format, especially suitable for studios with multiple artists or high stencil consumption, who prefer to order less frequently and have backup stock. For an occasional artist, a smaller pack may be sufficient.
How do I get the clearest possible outline during transfer?▾
The key lies in preparation: clean, disinfected, and completely dry skin, a thin and even layer of transfer solution, firm and even pressing without moving the sheet, then lifting the sheet in one smooth motion. Let the stencil dry completely before tattooing so the lines stay sharp.
How do I store the sheets so they don't deteriorate over time?▾
Store the pack horizontally, in a dry, cool, and dark space, protected from heat, humidity and direct light, preferably in the original packaging. Avoid keeping them near heat sources or chemicals, and only take out the sheets you need, resealing the pack.
