Technical Specifications

Workflow & Usage

1. Design Preparation
   

• Create or select your tattoo design on your phone, tablet, or computer. Use the companion app if needed to mirror or adjust your design.
  

• In the app, you can often adjust contrast, density, and preview the final output.
  
  

2. Load Stencil Paper
   

• Use multi-layer thermal tattoo transfer paper.
  

• Peel off the top protective layer and remove the backing paper (commonly yellow).
  

• Insert the paper into the printer, ensuring correct orientation.
  
  

3. Connect & Print
   

• Turn on the MHT-500.
  

• Pair it with your device via Bluetooth, or plug in using USB-C. Follow the on-screen or app-based prompts to select the printer. 

• Press “Print” and the printer will process the design and transfer it onto the stencil sheet.
  

4. Apply the Stencil
   

• Once printed, cut out the stencil design if needed.
  

• Clean the skin area and apply a stencil transfer solution or gel.
  

• Press the stencil firmly onto the skin, hold for a few seconds, then gently peel off the paper to leave the outline on the skin.
  

• Let it dry before tattooing.
  
  

5. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
   

• If print quality fades or lines become faint, check battery levels, make sure paper is loaded correctly, and clean the print head.
  

• For Bluetooth connection issues, ensure your device’s Bluetooth is on and select the correct printer profile. 

Advantages for Tattoo Artists

• Speed & Efficiency: Cuts down stencil preparation time significantly compared to traditional carbon-paper methods.
  

• Portability: Ideal for mobile tattoo artists, conventions, or studio environments — no need for bulky, wired machines.
  

• Precision: High resolution ensures even very fine, detailed designs translate accurately onto skin.
  

• Cost-Effective: Uses thermal paper, so there’s no ink to replace; fewer consumables and lower operational costs.
  

• Flexibility: Works with multiple devices (phone, tablet, desktop), integrating smoothly into digital workflows.
