Thermal copying paper is the industry standard in tattoo stenciling. You can make the stencil by hand or with a thermal copier. For this, you will take the sheet of thermal paper, remove the rice paper barrier between the top sheet and the Gelatin underneath. You will then either make a good copy of the original outlined sketch that you've made with a laserjet printer, place it between the two sheets, and then run it through the machine...and there you have a conventional machine made stencil. Or, you can do an outline of your art on tracing paper, and then lay this tracing sheet right on top of the gelatin sheet and then go over the lines with a pen which you will take all of the ink out of so it is simply a pointed tracing tool and then firmly push down while you are tracing, ensuring that you are getting as much of the gelatin on the sheet as possible. What also works good when you are doing them like this, is to place a fairly higher watt bulb lamp underneath a pane of glass that you will have your stencil paper on, and this will start to essentially melt the gelatin making the copying all the more rich and less problematic.

How do you make tattoo stencil?
Ricepaper is always a good way to go. When you buy a new pair of shoes, get the grainy paper on the inside: you know what I'm talking about don't you? Draw the tattoo you desire on it in dark thick ink. Put it on your skin where you desire and wet a rag in warm water and place it on the stencil. Keep it there for 10 minutes and remove. Now all you have to do is trace the outline if you wish and get to work.

Instructions to an eclipse thermal copier machine?
I'll assume you want to use it to make a tattoo stencil. Remove the onion skin sheet from your transfer paper (you can even tear the yellow sheet off if you want.). Open the top of the machine and slide the transfer paper (paper side up) through the slot at the back of the open lid. Make sure your transfer is straight and carefully close the lid so that the top part of the paper is just sticking out of the machine. Put the paper with the image you want transferred (image facing down towards the machine) into the slot on the top front of the machine. Push copy and you're good to go.
How do you createTransfer paper?
Creating Transfer Paper? I don't think soWell. You don't create transfer paper you have to order it from an outfit that carries it.... Thermal imaging transfer use heat and a 'spiritmaster' sheet to create stencils.....but a machine is needed to produce the stencil...If you can find hectgraph pencils you coud use them on tracing paper to copy your stencils, but GOOD LUCK finding them, as they ain't a whole lot of call for them anymore....TatuBaron

Where can i get tattoo paper?
Tattoo thermal paper can be bought virtually anywhere on the internet ranging from the manufacturers of the paper themselves, to such sites as eBay. It can be bought by anybody, but be warned the actual online retailers a lot of times will want a Tax ID Number so that they can verify that you are an actual business, so you may have to go through eBay regardless. The merchandise is quality and the prices are good on top of there being a pretty good assortment of the number of pages that you can get per box, which can adjust the price accordingly.

How can you create a tattoo stencil?
Basic stencils are fairly easy to make. All you need is a clear Mylar to use as your base, and a very sharp (exacto) knife.Your stencils are basically either positive or negative (the hole in the sheet of Mylar or the piece you cut from it)To start out simple shapes will do you more good... allowing you to use them to make clean edges. As you become more comfortable with using "masks" you can graduate into drawing, cutting and using your own stencils.Draw the basic design, using your exacto blade cut the design smoothly into the Mylar. Keep the pieces you remove, because there are times when you may want to paint backgrounds and not have to worry about overspray on your foreground.
Where is tattoo paper available?
Temporary tattoo paper is definitely not found in every store. It is best to look in a stationary store or computer specialty store for this type of material. I'd also try a professional Beauty supply store.And ask any tattoo parlor. They must have some to rough out new designs and try them out. I'm sure the can tell you where to buy some, or possibly sell you some.
