Transfer papers
What is transfer paper used for?
Transfer paper, also known as stencil, is used to transfer a design onto the customer's skin. It's made up of three sheets: a carbon sheet, a protective sheet and a top sheet on which the design will appear, and which will then be applied to your customer's skin.
The different uses of transfer paper.
The design of your future tattoo can be created either by hand or with your own thermocopier. Freehand stencils are made directly on the transfer paper. You can also create your stencils using a thermocopier. In this case, you'll need thermocopying binders. Once the transfer is complete, you can remove the carbon paper and obtain a replica of your design on the top sheet of the binder. All you have to do then is apply your stencil to your customer's skin, after having applied a transfer liquid so you can cover it with your tattoo machine.
