This is precisely why I went with a monochromatic ecotank! Great video tho! Appreciate the time & effort you put into this channel on reviews & tutorials. Your an inspiration & massive help in all aspects of your videos!
Oh yes thanks, I’m using this option for printing stecils for almost 3 years now and I won’t switch to anything else. Everyone is making fun of me since I’m trying to convince my tattooing friends to use this setup…
Love the quality these inkjet printers produce for stencils. I previously had a Monochromatic version of this (black-only) and left it sitting for too long thus clogging the print heads. I’m in the market for a new one now and might actually go with one that has colour tanks instead - based on the way you were troubleshooting this problem it seems the other print heads dedicated to the colour tanks can be used as back ups for when the black one inevitably begins to clog. My question to you is: do all the tanks need to have ink in-order for this printer to print?
Hi Jono, what preventative maintenance would you suggest so that this issue doesn't arrive in the first place? Just topping off the tank when ever it gets down to half full? Also, how many bottles of ink does it take to fill all the tanks? I'm just about ready to buy this product in a bundle and it's expensive for me so the information provided really helps. This printer would save me so much time vs my thermal printer. Thanks for answering in advance!
I wouldn't leave the printer stood too long without using it, by that i mean if you're not busy never leave it a few weeks. Always run some stencils off to keep things flowing. A bottle of stencil ink will completely fill the black tank and should 1/2 fill the 3 colour tanks.
I also have an Epson M1120 printer. but I still haven't found paper to be able to print tattoos. Can you please tell me where I can find this special tattoo paper? if it exists on amazon or something
you just saved me from a crisis lol. i appreciate this video more than i can say. subbed and look forward to more content in the future. despite everything i tried i couldnt get the printer to print a stencil at all. flushing the cartridge quickly solved this issue. thanks so much again.
Hey Jono its been a while its Andy from Boston. I keep having my EcoTank jam like it will take 2 pieces stuff like that. Any help you can give my friend?
I have 5 of them now. All of them are clogged . It’s happens when I go on vacation. Come back doesn’t work . Flushed it with solutions and still nothing actually made it worse. I’m going back old school way
Good day! I want to get an eco printer but I'm concerned that if I don't use the printer at least once a week, the ink will dry up in the tubes. Will your cleaning methods work or would you advise I clean the printer after every use? Thanks to anyone who can give up an answer
Hi, I got an Epson EcoTank M2120 monochrome, tried to initialize it with stencil ink and didn’t work from the start, or sometimes printing some faded pages. I eventually cleaned the tank and added black ink to see if the issue is with the printer as it was new and it worked. Any tips on if I can eventually make it work?
Hi! Do you have any solution for my M1120 problem? I think it’s clogged but I don’t know how to fix it :(( it’s monochromatic that’s why there aren’t any pipes I don’t think?
What do you mean the solution will come out through the bottom? Will it come out from the end of the tube while cleaning it? I just don’t want to mess my printer up , so I want to know where exactly to put paper towels at.
Do you use all your tanks pretty frequently? I see some videos of people putting enough in the colored tanks just to “trick” the machine they are filled. I just got mine and trying to make it last as long as possible
Use rex instead black isnt a fix, btw i like the video, plan to get l3210, but i will use stencil only in black, and regular colors for the 3 others, then use the printer for both, stencil ink in black tank, and regular print with 3 regular colors, using the option to create black mixing 3 colors, better than have 2 printers
Do you have your printer set on matte? Also my things are printing perfectly but it is weak and washes away easily on skin and fake skin. Any suggestions??
Can I use an „old“ Ecotank printer (which was used with normal printing ink) or does it have to be brand new one that has never been in contact with normal paper ink?
i have the same printer but i have trouble trying to get the size of the stencil paper to line up w the printer. do you know the right size that needs to be set to?
The issue that we keep having is the ink pads filling quickly even if we aren’t doing power cleanings or cleaning the heads. even when we replace the inkpad tanks it still isn’t working.
had my mono printer little over a year now, got the gentian violet ($7 versus 100 or more) and it worked great but when I refilled it, I thought I broke the thing. ran a print head cleaning a few times got nowhere. sat all over youtube looking and came across sublimation printer repairs. bleed pages fixed my problem after a few solid purple pages, it fixed and was running darker than ever!
@@simonecartier4880 i ran a head cleaner, then like 10 bleed pages non stop lol. It straightened out that way! Also a bit of rubbing alcohol in with the ink apparently!
Been using the basic brother until I've switched to ecotank, on blue spirit and red s8 paper. Works like a charm once you've got a feeling for the sweet spot of density and amount of black in the stencil
Have you used the printer cleaner sheets? I used them to revive my old HP office jet all in one. It was having issues even with the normal cleaning method via the printer menus and fresh ink cartridges. They are soaked in cleaning solution and it runs through like paper to clean the heads. I'm saving up for a monochromatic ecojet.
I installed a new printer today. but I immediately get vague stencils when I print I don't understand what I'm doing wrong maybe you know what's going wrong or what I can do. greetings
I have the Epson 2803 model and all of the ink that’s coming onto the stencil paper is not all stencil ink. Some of the ink is actual printer ink. I drained the cartridges and the tubes, but that did not help.
today i had to update the drivers, and printer actually recognizes the red, and it prints so bad with excess ink, I tried manny options, but it seems for now I will have to do it with the black n grey option
So when power cleaning, do you fill up the other tanks with stencil ink as well? You mention that they need to be 1/3 filled but did not say what you use. I have been using an Epson ET 2720, it was working great for a long time until I forgot to refill the BK tank. Since then it has not printed properly, I have used a cleaning solution and kit for the printer head and nozzle, and made sure that the ink can flow smoothly from the tank to the damper. It still prints incredibly weak, so I believe I should do the power clean to hopefully fix this? pls help!
Hey man love the video...what kind of paper are you using? I've been having a problem with it bunching & not feeding or crinkling halfway through. Everything's clean rollers & such. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Get Pacon stencil paper 500 sheets they sell it on Amazon for about $30 you will need to buy a paper cutter and chop about half an inch so it can fit through the printer feed.
Hey guys I have the canon mega tank and it was working well . I just had the black ink well full of stencil ink and now I am getting a 5200 code anyone got any ideas
I can't find anything about using stencil ink inside the Cyan tank and make my designs pure 100% Cyan color so the printer have to use the Cyan tank filled with stencil ink. And use the black color in the BLK tank so I can print normal stuff for me and my kids.
So I just bought an ecotank printer I seen in your first video to equally fill all tanks black and color equally. In thus video I seen you only had the black filled is that ok?
There is colour in my tanks, it’s just low at the moment. It’s probably best to space the ink out between them, then you can use the hack if it gets blocked or prints faint.
@@JonoSmithTattoo thank you so much for your channel I learn so much from you it unreal.....would you mind if I sent you an email I'd like to show you a matching set of tattoos I've done just thus morning and would like to see what you think if you had time to look

Use the stencil solution made for this stuff. Our stencil still come out weak, but the stencil solution is a game changer. Brings more out a weak stencil than you would imagine.

@@lucaslemes8349 I actually tried that! But the lines bleed pretty bad. So I put it on super thin, but then it was no better than the stencil stuff. What's the magic formula?

Hey man do you fill all 4 tanks with stencil ink. ??? I'm confused. And if I've accidentally put colours in xan I pour them out and still use stencil ink or am I fukt.???
You can fill all the tanks with stencil ink if you want to it won't really harm anything. You might be struggling if you've added colour ink in the tanks. Hopefully you haven't tried to print anything yet with the colour added. I would just run a load of plain A4 paper through it with different designs to try clear it if it's not printing properly
@@JonoSmithTattoo ive put stencil ink where the black should be. Now its working ok. I might not use the colour ones or try and clean them. 1 more thing is my paper won't go thru very easy. Can I get thicker transfer paper.????
Jono….really appreciate your videos…question…can I only fill the black tank with stencil ink and the other tanks with the regular printer inks since we won’t be printing color? Thoughts?
I probably wouldn't recommend normal colour ink as even though you might only use colour the black tank will still be utilised when printing. Thanks for watching!!
I did this and ruined the printer. even if you print in just black, the printer uses dark blue printer ink and other colors. So you will dilute your stencil by putting regular printer ink in the colored tanks. Found this out the hard way @@JonoSmithTattoo
There's no junk in the bottom of your gas tank. The fuel lubricates and cooles the motor on the fuel pump. Low fuel no lubrication and more heat which causes your fuel pump to burn out. But junk on the bottom of the tank sounds good to me. I get the point.

@@thiagoferreira3299 that’s so kind of you to respond, this guy is actually talking about having issues depositing ink into the skin while he’s tattooing. But using the glossy feature is awesome advice!
what you have to say.... the stencils from the Eco Tank just go away too quickly.... print quality is good, no question.... but it doesn't last long.... Spirit stencil paper delivers here.... better
I’ve never had a problem with them fading to be honest. I’ve used pretty much all mediums and found these to be great with Electrum Gold primer. Granted you’ll never get stencil like you will with good old hectograph paper but the time I save with these is worth the trade off. Thanks for watching!
@@JonoSmithTattoo Cheers, I just keep having a massive dramas with one of them brother machines and the cheap one with the red n blue button. Only reliability is to draw my stencils but its so tine consuming.
@@andyhowden7655 if you look into monochromatic ecotanks (black & white).. that's where it's at. Just make sure that it supports whatever software you're using.. MAC android windows etc.. 1 tank to fill.. after you put stencil ink in it.. its basically a dedicated printer for stencils

@@thiagoferreira3299 that’s so kind of you to respond, this guy is actually talking about having issues depositing ink into the skin while he’s tattooing. But using the glossy feature is awesome advice!

Türk arkadaşlar selamlar ben Türkçe anlatımını yaptım dövme transferi makinesinin tanıtımı kanalımda bulabilirsiniz
I just buy a new printer and return the old one in the box. Take less than 1 hour and end with a brand new printer 🎉
what you have to say.... the stencils from the Eco Tank just go away too quickly.... print quality is good, no question.... but it doesn't last long.... Spirit stencil paper delivers here.... better
I’ve never had a problem with them fading to be honest. I’ve used pretty much all mediums and found these to be great with Electrum Gold primer. Granted you’ll never get stencil like you will with good old hectograph paper but the time I save with these is worth the trade off. Thanks for watching!
good👍🎩
Thanks for watching!
What printer currently available would you recommend for this type of stencilling? Or what method of stencil making would you recommend above all?
I like my Epson 2750 to be honest. I swear by using these for stencils. I’m a busy studio, the time it saves is massive. Thanks for watching mate!
@@JonoSmithTattoo Cheers, I just keep having a massive dramas with one of them brother machines and the cheap one with the red n blue button. Only reliability is to draw my stencils but its so tine consuming.
Yeah I’ve used all these ones in the past but I’ll stick with this method for the foreseeable future just because of the time saved.
@@andyhowden7655 if you look into monochromatic ecotanks (black & white).. that's where it's at. Just make sure that it supports whatever software you're using.. MAC android windows etc.. 1 tank to fill.. after you put stencil ink in it.. its basically a dedicated printer for stencils
@@justinshields4216 thank I'll check it all out. Just don't wanna pay more cash to be disappointed again.
seems like too much effort, i'll stick to my copier untill something better comes by
This technique ruined my $2000 epson printer. Won’t turn on at all after trying this.
ugh! too much work. I'll just stick with hand stenciling
Shit hand stenciling is wayyyy too much work. Lol spend an hour drawing before even tattooing get burnt out before you even start!!
Mine all brand new when put on skin very faint winding me up
What solution are you using?
Sorry for delay eco stencil...looks like goes on paper ok use stencil stuff and trying stencil-prep just feel as don't go on skin enough
@@steviewass1900 I use Electrum Gold Standard. This is by far the best stencil transfer solution I’ve used to date.
Thanks I'll check that out ..where best place ....love your channel been a tattooist 12 years and everyday a school day
Just ordered some from my supplier they have it in . Many thanks fingers crossed that's better
