Thank you soooo much for this precious info! i was struggling for so long to get good stencils and now it just works perfectly!!! you are a legend!

Saves my day, and a return for my printer. Thank you!

Not all hero’s wear capes!! Thank you so much.

Hi Paul. I hope you get to see this. Just like to say a Massive THANK YOU! Just got a 773 from killer ink. Came with the brother power. Got it working via WiFi via my phone, using Brother software. First go a printing DISASTER! Paper jam, just horrible. Watched this, plugged in an old hard drive power supply(12v2amp) next print, perfect! This has saved my a huge headache and troubling killer ink with my issues. You sorted everything out here. Your altruism knows no limits pal. May the universe be kind to you pal, as your a star 💫

There is actually a setting if you look in one of the settings apps from their driver page - you have to be on updated firmware - for stencil mode and slower speeds. That worked for me a lot better than the 12v.

After years of using this and having all these issues to find out it was running just a lil to high on volts🤦‍♂️ thank you for the tip just printed the smoothest it’s ever printed

It was frustrating me for soooo long. I just wanted to give him back i called to brother today. I would send him back to fix him because I have waranty. And i would have probably buyed the same one for the time that I have no printer so i can keep on working. Also because I didn't find any other good stencil printer.. I just found a 12V supplier from a beer light. Maannnn, the designs I tried and always jammed.. They go through now! A bit slow but it prints without jamming! Wow man, thanks!! Really saved me

Hi Paul - My PJ773 has DC IN 12V-15V on the machine. Can you recommend a good adaptor to buy instead of using the Brother 15v which was supplied with the machine?

opinion on brother 883 Wi-Fi bluetooth

Hi Paul, great video, I am new to all this but have managed to purchase a brand new 623 with brother power supply, I have printed line work but have had issues with getting the stencil to transfer to skin. Could this be down to the power supply?

Can you tell me what device are you using with this printer, is it an iPad Mac or ?

Can you do a video on how to print a document with regular paper. I’ve been trying for an hour or longer. Just keeps feeding paper the opposite way it should go, then switches back and shoots the paper out all in one go. There a certain paper I have to use because even when I got it to cooperate it fed out blank. And why would it start feeding the wrong way? I have the 763-Mfi

You can’t print regular paper with a thermal printer. It needs to be thermal paper (fax paper)

Hi paul, can you help me out? I’v changed the power supply to a 12v 2amp cause with the 15v it chewed the paper away, Now with the 12v charger it wont chew it but in the middle of the stencil the printer just turns off itself everytime. You know how to fix this problem?

12volt is still better. But the new 883 with the usbc supply is much improved. Often, the limitation is the paper. It just can’t handle that much heat. 👍

I am in Canada and on Amazon there is a 3 to 24 V dc variable output power supply with a bundle of 14 different output plugs and polarity inversion adapter. Usable rotary switch output compatible values for Brother PJ-XXX Printer series are 10-12-14 Vdc @ 3 A and there is a big LED voltmeter on it. It should be very easy to choose a value corresponding to your preferred or future stencil paper choice.

The battery will still produce 15v so you’ll have the same issues as you would with the brother psu. Turning on stencil mode will help this a little but 12v is always better with the 7 Series. - p

You should update firmware instead of using OEM adapter. Thank me later.

Sadly, that won’t work as the firmware cannot throttle the running voltage to 12v. The only effective way to make the machines run correctly with thermal paper is by using a 12v 2amp adapter. Period. You’re welcome.

@@ThatTattooShow Brother has a firmware update software where there is an option that you can mark your printer as a "STENCIL PRINTER". I did this several times on 600 and 700 series. My latest try was on a PJ 773 Wifi version and I use it with a 5 amp adapter which is stronger than the original one. After updating, my printer works perfectly!

@aurimaspovilionis3304

As the matter of fact.. all you should use is not the cables, but the settings themselves. Open printing options and try to experiment with the setting which is called “density”. As far as I remember it has scale from 1 to 10. Bigger the number - more aggressive the printer is. For a couple of years I’ve been using 3-4 number and I was totally fine. But.. that firmware update could also help. Didn’t know that.. so thanks for sharing useful information 👊🏻

Overpriced stencil printers imo, I have a 763 and the stencil mode is complete jackshit as it barely prints anything, and guess what, I have the stronger adapter which should give it more power I just end up printing without stencil mode or using a chinese 150 dollars printer Yes brother is still good for crisp lines, but anything other than that is complete complicated jackshit

Drag your cheap printer around the world for 10 years where it MUST work everytime and never fail EVER and let me know how you get on. I doubt that any of the brother copies on the market will last more than a year. As for it barely printing anything? I can print ANYTHING on it and I never have a problem with my stencils. It’s just like learning to tube coil machines. You have to understand it and work with it. It will print whatever you need it to with a little practice and it will never let you down. - p

It's not about any learning curve I have maximum settings on density ( 10 ), dither or binary, once I choose the stencil mode it won't print anything. There is nothing to learn there, so I use it normal mode. When a device with a dedicated mode fails on that mode, it clearly says a message about how much thought they put into it. Could be just my machine, obviously, but it's not like I'm gonna pay for another one to find out @@ThatTattooShow
