Answer a few questions to diagnose and solve compatibility issues

Step 1 of 5

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Conditional" compatibility mean?

This means the components might work together, but with limitations. Common examples include needing an adapter (e.g., for RCA to clip cord), potential performance issues (like a low-amperage power supply with a demanding coil machine), or a safety concern (like a cartridge without a membrane). Always read the notes carefully.

Why is my wireless machine showing as "Conditional" with a power supply?

Wireless machines have built-in batteries and do not require an external power supply or cables to operate. The tool flags this to prevent you from buying a power supply you don't need for that machine.

What's the difference between RCA and Clip Cord connections?

RCA is a modern, stable, single-plug connection that provides consistent power. A Clip Cord is an older, two-pronged connection. While still functional, it's generally considered less reliable than RCA. Most modern power supplies offer outputs for both.

What is a cartridge membrane and why is it important?

A safety membrane is a flexible barrier inside a tattoo cartridge that prevents ink, blood, and other fluids from flowing back into the machine's grip and motor. Using cartridges without a membrane can damage your machine, void its warranty, and creates a serious cross-contamination risk between clients.

DISCLAIMER: Equipment compatibility information is based on manufacturer specifications and industry standards. Always verify compatibility with manufacturers before purchase, especially for warranty considerations. This tool provides guidance but does not guarantee compatibility in all scenarios.
