Description
El Cartel 3RLX – precision and power in one sleek line
Models: 3RLX3 / 3RLX4 / 3RLX5 / 3RLX6
The El Cartel 3RLX cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum control , precision , and speed . Thanks to the linear needle configuration (soldered side by side in a flat style ), you get an extremely stable, predictable print. This makes these cartridges ideal for techniques such as dotwork , stippling , tight linework , and geometric designs . You work more consistently, build up faster, and have complete control over every detail – from the first dot to the last line.
The 3RLX is designed for efficient and controlled performance. Its linear design distributes pressure more evenly than a standard round liner, allowing you to work more smoothly and with fewer corrections. This is especially noticeable with repetitive patterns, mandalas, and geometric shapes, as well as larger dotwork surfaces where even coverage and saturation are essential.
