This is a special ink for printing tattoo stencils, delivered in a 127 ml bottle, designed for the CISS tank systems of Epson EcoTank printers. It is a solution for artists who prepare their stencils digitally and need a constant ink flow, with clean lines from the first to the last print. According to the manufacturer, a single bottle allows for over 1500 prints, without clogging the system and without flow variations.
Does it work on any printer or only on Epson EcoTank?▾
The product is designed for Epson EcoTank printers, which have a refillable tank system (CISS). If you have a different printer model, especially one with classic cartridges, we do not recommend pouring this ink into it — first check what type of system your device has.
How many stencils can I print with one 127 ml bottle?▾
According to the manufacturer, a single bottle allows for over 1500 prints, with consistent results throughout use. The exact number depends, of course, on the size and density of the designs you print.
Does stencil ink clog the print head?▾
This ink has been specially developed not to clog the system and to maintain a stable flow without variations. As with any tank printer, it is still good to periodically run a nozzle check and a cleaning from the device menu if the printer remains unused for longer periods.
Can I use this ink directly on the skin to draw the stencil manually?▾
No. It is printer ink, intended exclusively for printing stencils on paper. Only the design transferred from the stencil paper using a dedicated transfer solution reaches the skin. For direct drawing on the skin, there are specially designed products for this purpose.
How do I maintain the printer and how do I store the ink?▾
Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright, at room temperature, away from sunlight. On the printer, do a nozzle check before important sessions and a print head cleaning if you notice broken lines. Refill the tank before it runs out completely to prevent air from entering the system.
What paper should I use for stencils with this ink?▾
Use stencil/transfer paper compatible with inkjet printing — not all thermal paper works with inkjet printers, as some are designed only for thermal copiers. Check the paper description that it is suitable for inkjet printing and do a test before the first session on a client.
