*Love the **Bestt.Digital** Label Printer! It was easy to set up and prints super fast which makes it so fun to use. I uproot to make Shipping labels but I’m having fun making sticker also!*
My machine actually didnt come with any instructions, so you just completely saved me from hours of hassle and potentially returning a really expensive machine😭😭😭 Thank you so much!!
I recently bought one of these machines to make thermal master units for my spirit duplicator. I can take a printout from my computer's ink jet printer, scan it with this machine and image it onto a thermal stencil paper, and then run it off on the spirit duplicator (a.k.a. "ditto machine") and make about 30-40 clear and very inexpensive copies in less than a minute.
I broke mine the same day I got it. Paper kept getting stuck during thermal transfer. Followed many instructions. Had a good photo. Decided to smash the machine into pieces then return it saying it came like that lol
Lol. Did you feed the paper straight? It sucks that you have to eyeball it. Otherwise the paper gets all jammed and messed up. Happened to me the first time. Now I'm always checking to make sure it's straight
I always make a line drawing of my tattoo and print it off then put it in the thermal copier. But make sure the lines aren’t too thin or some copiers won’t pick it up as well. Plus use good thermal paper some papers don’t show as good as others.
I'm a little confused. How does the printer work? As in, what makes the image transfer to the purple sheet? Could I draw an image onto printer paper using a biro pen/pencil and it'll work? Or does it have to be printed out? I really don't understand
Nah my stecils come out spotty if I leave the yellow paper on, like if there's not enough pressure on the transfer paper itself if you leave the yellow paper on
Thank you for you video. I got a question. Can you copy an image from the web print it on regular paper and place it in the transfer machine and will it copy it to the transfer paper and apply it to skin afterwards? I wanna get into tattooing. Just wondering what's the best route to take. Cause I can't draw. 😔
learn to draw and shade before you get anywhere near a tattoo machine. Just because technology exists that allows you to copy doesn't mean you should rely on other ppls work. Your work will be shit otherwise.. jus sayin
All of these replies are major L's drawing and injecting ink with a needle are two separate crafts. I cant draw. But i can fkn tattoo. Hes right about the tracing. And to answer bros question cus not one of yall did YES. You can print on regular paper!
You need to use stencil stuff, you can buy it on amazon, you spread it over the skin, let it dry a little bit adn the you place your desing over it, place it like 3 or 5 minutes and take it off. You can use deodorant instead of stencil stuff, some people say it is nice, i havent used it tho
@@Exportlungs but NOT antiperspirant, has to be the green/blue bar style deodorant. Like Speed Stick or old school Old Spice. I always wondered why tattoo shops always smelled that way.
So I've just received my transfer machine a few days ago and tried it for the first time today. My transfer machine leaves horrible lines through the whole page that completely ruin the design, I've tried numerous different types of paper and designs and it all turns out the same! Does anyone know the cause of this, and how to fix it??
I got mine today and followed every instruction to the tee, the copy images moves through but the thermal paper doesn't move an inch so it's unabke to even copy it onto the thermal. What do I do ? It's brand new the exact same as this one
Are you able to do a video on how to not waste the thermal paper like of you're doing smaller tattoos, I feel like I have a lot of scrap and not sure of I can reuse it
So… I had no issues using this printer with the stencil paper that was provided with the printer (which was roughly 20 sheets). When I ran out, I tried using my spirit stencil paper, and it will not work at all ? Someone please let me know if they purchased separate stencil paper and which one worked for the printer? This has slowed down my business quite a bit.
Can you please make a video about the settings. I.e. when you hold the stop button for 3 seconds. I got this stencil that I can't figure out what settings to use. It just colors in everything black. The image has solid lines with light gray but the gray is being printed in flat black
So you need to print out a design with a regular printer first and then print it on the stencil? Because I just bought a thermal printer and I don’t have money to buy a whole other printer
If it’s this thermal one then yes. There are Bluetooth ones WiFi ones and usb ones that you don’t need a printer but if yours isn’t one of those then you’ll need a printer to thermal copy it
how do you like this machine? I'm guessing you preprint the image on a regular piece of paper first. how is the quality of stencil and machine holding up, does the stencil wipe off easily?
So did you draw that picture freehand? I’m only going to do tiny tattoos like a word or small symbol because I’m a PMU artist only. Any advice where I could find some tiny symbols to print?
@@laurennuttall459even if the picture has tones like blacc and grey does it do an outline of the picture or it can only use outlined pictures like how the video is doin
So is this just printing a picture onto normal paper with a normal computer printer then this machine transfers it to the tattoo transfer paper? I’m sick of tracing off my phone and the pen not transferring properly :(
Hi Adam, I got one of these and worked as shit. Changed for another one (amazon) and is a little bit better, but far from ok. And I'm doing everything exactly as you. Do you have any advise (special paper, any specific seller,...)? Have you tried more than one or you hit the jackpot at first? Thanks in advance for your help!
Did you try a simple stencil? My simple one came out fine. It's the ones that have gray that a hard. I did notice the paper needs to be flat. The paper that came with the printer was all rolled up
I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
Is this design just for tattoo stencils or is it just a typical thermal printer? I have been looking for one for a while but the ones made specifically for tattooing are expensive as hell
Hey mate nice vid , I have the exact same machine and it worked ok about 10 times, now it just prints really weak stencils with lines all across it , have u had any trouble like that ?
I have the same problem but straight from the beginning, it also happens that the blue paper sometimes sticks to the machine ruining the stencil. Is the second machine I had returned to amazon.
Hey buddy this is probably a dumb question what’s the difference between the two deepnesses? Which one does it work better on? Also what thermal paper do you think works best in it because in some of the reviews I read about it before I bought it said some brands of thermal work for crap in it
Can you help me a bit? I bought my printer and some paper, and when I apply the stencil on the skin (with the stencil stuff) even after 15 minutes of drying, the stencil dies when I pass the napkin (with the water+greensoap) :( Can it be some option on the printer? Do I have to use more stencil stuff? Halp T__T
i am watching this everytime i use the printer hah!
sameee haha
me too! idk why its soo hard for me to understand how to use this damn thing!!!!!!! urgh!
@@stephaniemadriz79 this one is golden, i switched to thermal imager and thats where real sruggle began 😅
😂😂 same here
🤣🤣🤣 I'm guessing I'll do the same till it's implanted in my head hahah
Watching 4 years later and still the simplest, best explanation i could find! Stencil came out perfect
*Love the **Bestt.Digital** Label Printer! It was easy to set up and prints super fast which makes it so fun to use. I uproot to make Shipping labels but I’m having fun making sticker also!*

Thank you so much!!
It works for me I got the gray one .. finally no more tracing over stencils to move the tattoo two inches to the left
Can you make the image any size

Thanks short and sweet i didnt have to watch 15min of talking thanks man 👍

Broke mine too
Lmao
Thanks man you're helping a lot of people
Thank you for the straight to the point video.
You’ve made my life so much easier thank you
You just helped a whole studio learn how to use this old timey thing 😂
I just got one of these and this video made way more sense than the instructions 😂😂 much appreciated, my dude 😎
You bet! When I first got one I was lost!
thank you so much , machines are really unintuitive to me so i needed this bad. super helpful
Bruh, I’m late to the party, but thanks I liked And subbed. Simplest explanation on the net. 💯 bro
Wait. Does it only copy? Or does it print from a digital device as well?
My boss was tired of me asking him how to use it, LOL. Thanks for saving me!
Maya S lol anytime
So if I print out something do I need to trace that also or will the ink from the printed picture be fine to place in with the stencil paper?..
the ink from the printed picture will be fine, just dosn't really pick up anythink that's not dark, so the light shading and such
I always make a line drawing of my tattoo and print it off then put it in the thermal copier. But make sure the lines aren’t too thin or some copiers won’t pick it up as well. Plus use good thermal paper some papers don’t show as good as others.
Omg thank you. I for this machine as a gift and thought it was a dud... Thank you.
Most likely your roller needs cleaned use a damp paper towel or a Lysol wipe and let it dry and try it.
Thanks man I really needed This I watched like 10 times
What thermal copier is this and where can I buy one ? I’ve seen ones similar on amazon but they have horrible reviews
Ebay 79 + shipping comes out to about 110 bucks
Thank you for getting straight to the damn point haha loved it
I'm a little confused. How does the printer work? As in, what makes the image transfer to the purple sheet? Could I draw an image onto printer paper using a biro pen/pencil and it'll work? Or does it have to be printed out? I really don't understand
U don’t have to
I don't understand it either
man i be having to draw everything out by hand it takes almost 30min some times im glad i seen this
Thank you! This was SO helpful!
Wait for the picture you want does it have to be specific type of paper mine didn’t print , I used regular paper and an image I printed from online
thank you last video i watched almost broke my brand new machine so this really helped
these do the job well enough
Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for dude!
It actually will come out better if you leave the yellow paper on
Mine just arrived, can you explain abit better?
Agreeed
Nah my stecils come out spotty if I leave the yellow paper on, like if there's not enough pressure on the transfer paper itself if you leave the yellow paper on
Thank you for the video it really helped alot...I have the exact printer......
Imagine you go to get a tattoo and your artist is watching this before hand
Lmao best comment for sure
Because of you i bought one thank you!
Did u trace your drawing with pen before u put it in the machine?
Nope thats what the ink paper is for 😊
Thanks for the video, the instructions that came with it blows dogs for quarters.
Bro this video helped soo much definitely got my sub
When using a thermal printer does your design need to be inverted?
you have the option "Mirror" which solves that problem
Is there a way to send it from your phone or only copies?
Does it work if you have drawn on the stencil paper instead of regular paper ? And does it only work for pen drawings or pencil as well ?😢
Bout to order one. 😌 be a time saver for sure!
I have had my machine for a year have not really used it but when I did it worked now it just prints full blue pages any idea Why
Thank you for you video. I got a question. Can you copy an image from the web print it on regular paper and place it in the transfer machine and will it copy it to the transfer paper and apply it to skin afterwards?

Shouldn't be tattooing if you can't draw.
@@nelsonkai I can trace if the image is premade. That's why I asked if the transfer machine works with images printed from a printer.
@@Sniperop36 yes it will, but it's only really good for outlines

How do you transfer the image onto your skin? Thank you for the video! You were very easy to follow along :)
You need to use stencil stuff, you can buy it on amazon, you spread it over the skin, let it dry a little bit adn the you place your desing over it, place it like 3 or 5 minutes and take it off. You can use deodorant instead of stencil stuff, some people say it is nice, i havent used it tho
you need to learn saftey of tattooing first if you asked this question , you need to learn from a tattoo artist all the basics of hygien
Most deodorant sticks work
@@Exportlungs but NOT antiperspirant, has to be the green/blue bar style deodorant. Like Speed Stick or old school Old Spice. I always wondered why tattoo shops always smelled that way.
Does this work if the image is printed or only if it was drawn with pen or pencil?
It works with printed also
The answer I've been looking for

My transfer machine leaves horrible lines through the whole page that completely ruin the design, I've tried numerous different types of paper and designs and it all turns out the same!

Verify it's not wrinkles. If the paper is not set straight it will make lines. Happened to me

Good day sir,any update for that thermal printer?, it is good until now?,or have issue now?
Can the picture be printed from a regular printer in then stenciled with the stencil printer ?
Any update? I'm curious myself
Yes, just remember a thermal printer is for line work.
Hi I have one of these and my stencils come out very dark and there’s lines through it all. I’ve cleaned it too
Can you please make a video about the settings. I.e. when you hold the stop button for 3 seconds. I got this stencil that I can't figure out what settings to use. It just colors in everything black. The image has solid lines with light gray but the gray is being printed in flat black
It's for lined drawings not pictures.
Thanks so much! really helpful and straight forward
CrystallizedBear absolutely
Sounds silly but what is the gsm for the white paper for the printer for the design?
Quick question can I use my printer to print off a outline then run it thru or does hit have to be a stencil from a drawing?
I use my hp printer to print off out lined stencils then run them through this all the time.
@@TheBeardedTattooer okay thank you so much!
You sir are a legend, thank you!
Anytime bud
Question can this thermal printer work with an image printed off of an ink jet printer??
Thanks buddy for instructions is such good way😍
So you need to print out a design with a regular printer first and then print it on the stencil? Because I just bought a thermal printer and I don’t have money to buy a whole other printer

Thanks for this informational to the point vid!
so much better then the instructions lmao.thanks man
how do you make a dark photo light or more like line art?
Is it possible to use thicker paper to copy or does it have to be regular printer paper?
It can work with paper a little thicker than original printer paper but not too much thicker.
Is there a way to use tracing paper with the drawing in pencil or marker, or does this only work with a photocopy or printed paper?
Can u use regular stencil paper or does it have to be thermal?
Okay so can I print out a image and stick it through or do I have to draw out the image ?
You can do both
Awesome clip bro...thanx..any idea if works with printed images or patterns also?
Would I need a regular printer for the picture
Can you use a printed image like from standard printers or does it have to be hand drawn to be printed on thr tattoo transfer paper
Yes you can
Thats exactly what i was wondering
how do you like this machine? I'm guessing you preprint the image on a regular piece of paper first. how is the quality of stencil and machine holding up, does the stencil wipe off easily?
719Moto Mx No, it works similar to the hand made stencil so is the stencil quality.
Carbons carbon its how you apply it
does it also work when i use just a drawing made with a pencil?
Yes, I've tried with a black drawing. Blue I don't know.
The original picture, is that normal parer?
So did you draw that picture freehand? I’m only going to do tiny tattoos like a word or small symbol because I’m a PMU artist only. Any advice where I could find some tiny symbols to print?

Do I have to draw it first?
so do i need two printers? one to print the original drawing and the other thermal printer?
For this type of thermal printer yes.
So you don’t use the yellow piece at all? Just the blue and white ?
You don’t use the yellow or the onion paper in between
