5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Preparing Transfer Paper

The printer uses specialized tattoo transfer paper. Each sheet typically consists of multiple layers: a white tracing sheet, a removable protective sheet, a blue carbon sheet, and a yellow backing. Carefully separate the layers as instructed by the app or the paper packaging. For optimal results, ensure the paper is flat and free of wrinkles.

Video 5.1: This video illustrates how to prepare A4 or other size transfer paper for use with a tattoo printer, including cutting and separating layers.

5.2 Loading Transfer Paper

Open the printer's cover. Insert the prepared transfer paper (blue side down) into the paper slot. The printer will automatically feed the paper when it detects it. Ensure the paper is aligned correctly to prevent jams and crooked prints.

5.3 Printing Stencils

Using the "Tattoo Go" app, select or design your desired tattoo pattern. The app allows for editing, cropping, and precise previews. Once your design is ready, initiate the print command from the app. The printer will produce a high-resolution stencil on the transfer paper.

5.4 Applying the Stencil

After printing, carefully remove the stencil from the printer. Apply a small amount of transfer gel (not included) to the skin where the tattoo will be placed. Press the printed stencil firmly onto the prepared skin for a few seconds, then gently peel it off to reveal the transferred design.
