Stencil paper 4ply tip

Hi all just a we tip for those who have the basic tattoo stencil machine that uses the 4 ply of paper.
I had always found the stencils always came out very light.
So I experimented and this was what I found to get the best yet.

1. Put the machine on for 10 minutes.
2. Tear of the yellow piece of the 4 ply except the top.
3. Remove the centre thin piece.
4. Now place it on the wall with the blue piece facing you.
5. Heat it with a hairdryer for about a minute. ( you’ll know it’s all good when you stop and the end starts to curl up).
6. Now put it through the stencil machine being careful to make sure you keep the curled piece straight.
You now have a great stencil that goes on like a boss.

I don't know what type of stencil printer you're using, but the only time my stencils come out very light is when the lines on the stencil are very thin, or I'm not using genuine Spirit stencil paper.
Seems like a lot of effort to get a stencildone the way you say to do it.

Cheers for reply.
The only difference with the normal way it says to do it is that I’ve used a hairdryer to heat up the ink on the paper. It seems to help transfer over better doing this. I only did put it on the wall just to keep it flat. It only takes a minute. It’s the thermal printer I’m using. It would be good to hear if others use one.
Hoping to upgrade to a inkjet printer but until then I just have to make the best of it.
Cheers P

I would assume that it may be a problem with your Thermal Printer, you shouldn't have to heat up the paper to activate it, that's what should occur within the printer when you're printing.......the hint is in the name "Thermal Printer"
