which thermal fax machine(specifications Plz) is best to make tattoo stencils?Can Anyone suggest some model?
M little confused weather use a dot matrix printer or a thermal fax machine or a proper tattoo stencil making machine(Its very pricey,ya know)?
The most commonly used are dot-matrix. Compared to thermal fax they are less expensive, but still pricey depending. Modern thermal fax copiers are foreign and cheaply made. The older American made models are built to withstand the tests of time. However, if you burn through a belt or break a light bulb, parts for these are extremely hard to come by because they have been discontinued. I, personally, use a 3M 45FGA "Secretary" thermal fax. With this machine, I can vary the darkness of the stencil as it is being copied. The dot-matrix printers offer one shade of stencil and one shade only. I paid $800 for the thermal fax and I swear it was the best $800 I could have spent. I used a dot-matrix prior to it.
My suggestion to you: Unless you can find and afford one of the older 3M machines, I suggest going with dot-matrix. A couple of things to remember with the dot-matrix are to ensure it is a 24 pin impact printer and the printer has a USB to PC connection available.
Hope this helped.
