**darkness** · 02-04-2013, 08:44 AM

Hello all ...

inkmachines announced for this week on a new machine ! The Stingray

The machine is called Stingray and its a new type of tattoo machine that drives the needles with a cam system instead of an eccenter like other rotary machines. It looks very similar to the Dragonfly but the function is totally different. This machine will make lines like no other rotary machine on the market today. Perfect if you are looking for a liner with the function of a coil machine but still want to keep all the benefits of a rotary machine.

The machine looks really nice and would complete the Dragonfly arsenal

Looks good depends how it runs, wonder if they have put in a more powerfull motor this time..

mmmh the machine is not bigger ,think the same Dragonfly with a other system (cam) thats provide a harter hit ....is it not cheaper to get a harter spring ?
but let's see what they've done. More information must be added the week

Looks like a dragon fly with a slide system. I would have thought they would have made something a little different though, it will be easy for the Chinese to copy this as well.

Cecil Porter has been testing it and stated that it is great for lining and pushing larger mags, although it doesn't seem to actually hit harder

Yep saw this yesterday on facebook. Looks interesting, but will have to wait, I'm may be thinking I'll wait because some nice machines are on the cards over the next few months.

2.6-3.5mm stroke with a 0-2mm suspension designated for lining and packing? Hmmmm, why not just go 4.5mm with a 2mm suspension? Longer stroke for lining and packing would suit many artists much better and no real need for optional cams with that suspension. I dunno maybe this machine performs just differently like the inkjecta, ie: 3mm stroke that packs like a beast and is well capable of lining. I will have to get one in hand before passing judgement, but the stroke length options have me at a worry.
