FAQ

Do I need a special printer for this ink?

Yes. You must use a brand-new Epson EcoTank printer that has never had regular printer ink in it. Using a used printer risks contamination, which can be dangerous for your clients and will ruin the stencil quality.

How many stencils can I print with one bottle?

One 120 ml (4 oz) bottle can print up to 3,000 stencils, depending on the size and detail of your designs. Two bottles are needed to completely fill all four printer reservoirs, but one is more than enough to get started.

What kind of paper works best for printing stencils?

While you can use regular printer paper, we recommend Electrum Eco Stencil Paper or Pacon Tracing Paper. These semi-transparent papers allow for cleaner, sharper transfers, while regular paper may absorb ink and produce duller results.

How long will my stencil last on skin?

Stencils printed with EcoStencil Ink are fade- and smear-resistant, lasting hours on skin. For the best results and longest hold, pair with Electrum Premium Stencil Primer.

Will using this ink void my printer’s warranty?

Yes. Using third-party inks will void Epson’s manufacturer warranty. Once you’ve filled your printer with EcoStencil Ink, it should only be used for tattoo stencil printing—never for regular printing.

What happens if my printer clogs?

Like any inkjet printer, nozzles can clog if left unused. The best prevention is to print a test page once a week to keep the nozzles wet. If clogging occurs, refer to your printer’s cleaning function or join the Eco Stencil Support Group on Facebook for troubleshooting tips.

Can I return the ink if it doesn’t work with my printer?

No. All sales are final. We strongly recommend double-checking printer compatibility before purchasing. If you need setup help, the Support Group is the best resource.

What Do Our Artists Say

I cut stencil prep from 45 minutes to 5. The print is razor sharp and the transfer didn’t budge during a full-day session

Dereck S

quote-1653475139757__PID:30050792-b8b5-4d45-9096-682c5232bb25

Fine-line portraits finally look like the reference. No fuzzy edges on the paper and the lines transferred clean on the first pass.

Jack F

quote-1653475139757__PID:30050792-b8b5-4d45-9096-682c5232bb25

One 4 oz bottle printed thousands of stencils. It paid for itself in the first month and the consistency is unreal.

Andrew P

The paper grabs the ink evenly with zero ghosting. Stencil held through heavy wipe downs and still read crisp at the end.

Collins M

quote-1653475139757__PID:30050792-b8b5-4d45-9096-682c5232bb25

Setup was simple. Followed the guide, filled the EcoTank, and we were printing same day. Every artist on my team gets identical results.

Harris K

Bold liners, tiny script, dotwork grids. Everything prints clean and transfers clean. Clients notice how precise the stencil looks

To Troubleshoot Electrum ECO Stencil Ink issues with an Epson EcoTank printer

  • Perform a Printhead Cleaning
    - Use a cleaning solution:
    - Gather an inkjet cleaning solution, a syringe, gloves, and a folded shop towel.
  • Access the print head.
    - Open the printer and slide the print head to the side, placing the folded towel underneath it to catch any ink.
  • Flush the print head 
    - Attach the syringe filled with cleaning solution to the print head and slowly press the plunger, repeating until the print head runs clean on the towel.
  • Reassemble and test 
    - Reattach the cartridges 
    - Move the print head back to its original position
    - Run a power cleaning cycle from the printer's utility settings.

Try the "Color Hack"

  • Identify the issue - If you're getting faint stencils, the black ink tank may be blocked.
  • Change stencil color - In your design software (like Photoshop), change the stencil's color to a dark green, which uses a mix of yellow and cyan inks.
  • Adjust print settings - Set the printer to use high quality, select color printing, and print the stencil. This can produce a bold stencil by bypassing the blocked black tank.

Prevent Future Issues

  • Print regularly - Print a test page at least once a week to keep the ink nozzles wet and flowing.
  • Avoid low ink levels - Refilling ink tanks when they are very low can suck debris into the printhead, causing blockages.
  • Keep heads clean - Regular maintenance and printing are the best ways to prevent clogging.

Save Time On Stencilling

  • Faster setup and cleaner lines
  • Long-lasting hold through sessions
  • Lower cost per stencil over time
  • Consistent results across artists and studios
