Meet TIM, the next generation of thermal copiers from 3K Instruments (with some help from good ol’ Panenka). TIM replaces the ever-popular A4 Copier, a mainstay in tattoo studios for over 15 years.
What’s different, you ask? We’ll start with what HASN’T changed.
TIM is still made in Germany, designed by 3K instruments with support from Panenka. Blending their deep knowledge of thermal imaging with tried and true technology. Between them, they’ve built a thermal copier that will stand up to life in your shop.
Don’t let its size and weight fool you; TIM is every bit the mainstay the A4 was. Like the A4, it also uses thermal imaging heat from an infrared lamp to transfer your design to any thermal stencil paper.
So, what’s new?!
Higher, faster exposure speed.
Over the years, stencil paper manufacturers have had to change the formula of their products, making some papers more sensitive. This means they require faster exposure to ensure you get the crisp, clean lines expected. TIM can handle any stencil paper, even the most sensitive types.
25% Less Energy Consumption*
Outdoes current models and their competition.

Quicker cooling times and sensor-controlled cooling phases
TIM has integrated sensor-controlled cooling. It only cools when the device is warm and cools much faster after it reaches its maximum temperature.
How fast? Previously, after reaching the maximum temperature, the A4 required 10-15 minutes of downtime to cool. Thanks to the sensor-controlled cooling, TIM will have you making copies again in as little as 6-7 minutes! Perfect for a busy studio!
