Thermal copier TIMmy – The simple, compact version of TIM

The TIMmy thermal copier from 3K Instruments is the simplified, cost-effective version of the well-known thermal copier TIM. While the larger TIM is equipped with a variety of advanced features and self-monitoring software, the TIMmy focuses on the essential basic functions and offers a straightforward, reliable solution for tattoo stencils at a cheaper price.

• Recommended for 1-2 artists- low capacity
• Light and easy to move
• Less expensive than the TIM
• Please read manual before first use

Why TIMmy as a basic version of TIM?

Precise outline representation – simple and reliable:

TIMmy takes over the basic ability of TIM to draw the outlines of tattoo designs to copy precisely. Both devices offer a clear and precise representation of the contours, without shading, ideal for creating tattoo stencils that can be used as a basis for tattooing.

The big difference between the two devices, however, is in operation: While TIM automatically starts and stops the copying process, you must initiate and stop this process manually in TIMmy.

This makes TIMmy a flexible, but somewhat more manual solution for tattoo studios.

Speed and efficiency – without compromising on basic quality:

TIMmy offers a fast and efficient transfer of your designs to stencil paper, similar to the larger TIM. However, where TIM has additional features such as intelligent temperature monitoring, TIMmy focuses on a user-friendly, easy operation – ideal for smaller studios that require a quick solution without the technical extras.

Compact size and weight – The smaller brother of TIM:

Weighing only 3.5 kg and with a more compact design, TIMmy is lighter and more space-saving than the larger TIM, making the TIMmy particularly suitable for smaller studios or tattoo artists who need a simple, easily transportable device that still offers reliable performance.

User-friendliness – it couldn't be easier:

TIMmy is particularly easy to use and does not require self-monitoring software from TIM. While TIM uses intelligent software which monitors the status of the device, TIMmy is a pure “plug-and-play" device.

Powerful but reduced cooling system:

While the larger TIM is equipped with a more powerful cooling system, which is optimized for intensive continuous use, TIMmy comes with a simpler cooling system. It is sufficient to efficiently handle a few stencils in a row, but not for continuous operation like in large studios with several artists designed.

Focus on the essential contours:

As with TIM, TIMmy also focuses on the precise and clear presentation of the most important contours of the design. This reduced representation ensures that tattoo artists quickly receive a clean template on which they can fully concentrate on basic shapes and contours – a good choice for artists who do not need complex shading in the template or would like to create it with their own style.

Templates: Please note that the templates must be suitable for the thermal copier. All laser-printed originals are compatible, but with inkjet printers, only a few templates will work.

Sum Up

TIMmy offers the basic functions of TIM in a simplified, smaller, and more affordable form. If you are looking for a simple but reliable device that is reduced to the essential functions, then TIMmy is the perfect choice. It ensures you can create fast, precise tattoo stencils without the added complexity and advanced features of the larger TIM. This provides a practical, efficient device that meets the needs of many small tattoo studios.
