Honestly this has been the most in depth comparison video for thermal printers.
Other reviews only focused on one and sounded a bit biased and not honest.
But this was a great video and honest information!
Thanks

Thanks for doing an actual side by side comparison with all them and the paper, so much easier for us to see the difference but more time consuming for you, awesome review 👏 👏 👏

Thank you for your professional review. Special thanks for the bonus code. I immediately bought myself such a printer. The parcel contained transfer paper. The first tests were on it and I was very pleased with the result. I used Spirit paper in the studio but was disappointed. fine lines were not visible. I compared paper (no name) and Spirit. It seemed to me that the first one had a more glossy surface. Now I will look for a transfer paper that is glossier than Spirit. I will be glad to any advice

I don't know how long you have been tattooing, but I hope you get more well known in the industry. Really appreciate all the comparisons!

I’ve definitely found the brother to be temperamental at times, but in that saying it does produce a solid stencil. I definitely recommend lining the image on procreate and printing that instead of original image. No solid black areas or will pinch and paper will fold up inside machine. Biggest issue was realizing my model doesn’t connect to iPad only android..makes for more work

[vincentmartinez]

Just got the Ats, thank you for the help your video was super informative💪🏽🙏🏽

Yilong ats VS phomemo m08f. ??

Anyone have any experience or comments on the phomemo versus the yilong printer?

[SketchyMcdoodles]

Thank you, for the comparison! I've seen Pony Lawson use an eco tank and just use stencil ink in the black fill tank. It seemed to work amazing.

Hi everyone! I know this might sound like a silly question, but I'm not familiar with the topic. Can these thermal printers with black, tattoo-transfer paper be used to create temporary tattoos? Or are they solely intended as a guide for creating permanent tattoos?

[kustomsnake]

brother iprint&scan is the app, or maybe thet only works for the BT models

[ironPatriots]

The first thermal printer actually prints faster, when you reset the printer. Press and hold "stop"( until a beep), then, "mirror ", then "copy". Thanks for a great review video.

[jasonkeenan]

How well do the stencils transfer to skin? That would be my only other test. Thank you for putting your time into these reviews

With the Pocket Jet I bought the Bluetooth version here in Australia. $1000. It runs at 10-12volts with or without the battery. And yeah the paper crumples up. It runs to fast and hot. I bought an adjustable power supply and turned it down to 8.5-9 Volts. It runs perfect. Slows it down no paper jams at all. I paid like $30 for the adjustable power supply on eBay. It fixes all the problems.

Great reviews! My old thermofax is having intermittent issues with internal switches, so looking to get a backup machine. Was leaning toward the Brother until you showed the ATS886. For the price and quality, it looks hard to beat.
Saved me a few hundred $ for sure. :)
Thanks

The brothers do have an app u can download that changes the density etc

[rodmartin]

Just go over the stencil with tape it will clean it up, big tip for you free of charge

[piaqreb]

Hey! Loved the video. Question from a newbie. Does the Yilong require ink or is the paper sufficient?

[reefbloke]

Looks like your running into issues with US letter size paper and A4 international paper with regards to size as they are both slightly different sizes. Some printers will only print A4 paper size due to width set on the feed . The brother will print A4 and US letter sizes .

[gianniscorcodilas]

can i use photoshop to make prints with ats886 printer or only the ats886 app

[NoctaLex]

So for the 773, does using the printing app that Brother recommends make a difference? Or is your method that you used best? Also, does the power supply matter? I remember watching a video where an older man showcased all the different Pocketjet versions, and an issue that was mentioned was the stencil not coming out solid, and a fix for it was the power supply
