Wow! What a beast its like a v8 supercharged version of the gen7

today i done some lining (script) with a tight 7

some thick arabic style wrighting with a lose 7

A big black & grey engine tattoo with a 13 curved mag,

And some small black colouring with a 14rs

in conclusion it lines Better than ANY rotary i have ever used, 9.0 volts, 2 dots down on the give clip, single one pass solid ass lines, it packs really well too, 4 dots down on the give clip, 8.3-8.6volts

but... Shading.. No give to full give 6.5-8v its just too powerfull for soft smooth grey imo..


So all in all 8.5/10 lining 9.5/10 packing 9-/10 adjustability 9/10 greyshading 6.5/10

Didnt like mine. bad heals those perfect lines heal thin and color went in fast but took longer to heal its big and bulky and a bit loud thought i would love it but i think the whip is my favorite recent swash machine forsure

I think joel you didnt tighten the needle tensioner enough.. that makes the machine rattley and would explain the poor healing

When you say thin you mean it goes in like a 7rl heals like a 5rl OR thin as in poorley saturated and patchy?...

Because i find it make's "coil" lines when i line using it... The spektra for example would make a 5 line with a 7 liner, same as 95% of rotarys.. Doesnt mean its not good there just more precise.. But the gen 8 makes a 7 line with a 7 like a coil would..
