Eikon EMS 400 Tattoo Power Pack

Cool little video introducing the new Eikon EMS 400 power pack. (Featuring some pals: the lovely Jen at Cottage 13, Evan Dowdell at Time Will Tell Tattoos, and David Glantz at Archive Tattoos)

Very slick design!

Capacitance touch buttons, that chirp when you touch them to let you know that your command has been activated. With no buttons or dials jutting out the front to fiddle with, covering everything with barrier film is very easy. The buttons are quite large and far enough away from each other to prevent accidental activation of other commands. The vertical orientation and small footprint take up little room on a work space. The angle makes it very easy to read. No more contorting to read the voltage meter. Prominent LCD display of the voltage. The other meter readings aren’t as prominent since they’re generally only used during machine tuning.The secondary display area can be changed to display Speed, Duty Cycle, FT, Amps, Timer, Diagnostics or you can simply cloak all the readings. Cables that are routed out the back. Partly to prevent cluttering up a work area, and also to prevent them from becoming contaminated. Sticky silicone foot print to help keep it anchored to the work space. A timer to let the artist know how long they actually spent tattooing. Four voltage presets for four different machines. Easily switch between liners and shader - plug the machine in, press the voltage preset and away you go. No more fiddling and adjusting. Plug and play. Two footswitch modes - momentary or maintained. Can be used anywhere in the world. Very handy for artists traveling to conventions. And perhaps most importantly of all, smooth consistent output power. Whether the machine is a coil or a rotary machine. Minimal voltage is used, decreasing the chances of overheating.

Eikon have done a really nice job on this.
