TATTOO APPAREL & THERMAL PREPRESS
Tattoo Stencil Line Weight & Carbon Bleed Calculator
Compute optimal 1-bit vector line weights for needle configurations ($1\text{RL}$ to $14\text{RL}$), thermal copier burn-in spread ($-0.08\text{mm}$ shrink compensation), carbon density thresholds, and minimum gap bridge clearances.
