Thermal Spirit® Masters Classic

Whether you call it Spirit, Classic or its OG name “ReproFX”, this stencil paper has been the industry standard for years. The high visibility purple dyes produce sharp stencils that will last for your entire tattoo session.

Tip: Doing small or really large pieces? Check out the Spirit Classic roll - cutting to size means less waste.

Spirit® Green Stencil Paper

Spirit Paper has gone Green, but maybe not in the way you think. Green Spirit Paper offers the same great Spirit Thermal transfer sheets you love, but with a teal Green dye that provides greater visibility on darker skin tones. The first of its kind, Green Spirit Paper is compatible with all thermal copier/printers.

S8 Red Line Stencil Paper

Seeing Red - S8 RED Stencil Paper is the world’s first impact and thermal-ready, red colored tattooing stencil paper. For years, tattoo artists have intuitively known that red is the ideal stenciling color for light skin tones. Red provides the greatest degree of visual separation when black-lining which makes this paper the favorite of many black and grey, and dotwork artists.

Don't worry freehand artists, there’s a paper for you too! Each of these brands offer freehand and thermal options.
