Without knowing the specs of your power supply, I can't rightly say, but the tried and true tension test should give you an idea.

What is the best tattoo machine?
Many factors might affect a person's decision for a tattoo machine. For example, the cost, the quality, the brand, and the shape should be taken into consideration. There are many kinds of tattoo machines such as the liner machine, the shader machine and so on.
What voltage is recommended for a tattoo liner and shader?
Most tattoo power supplys operate from 12.5 to 14 volts, there is no perfect voltage for all tattoo mechines, each artist uses what makes them comfortable, as a general rule shaders use less than a liner. All power supplys are adjustable , and with such a large selection of different brands of mechines,and coils, no single voltage will work for all artist.
How fast should a liner tattoo machine run?
A tattoo machine's speed is so very widely variable that an estimate would do no good. You could use a weak coil machine with a lot of spring tension on a low power source and it will go really slow. But say you use a double contact liner at high power and it goes fast. Even a single machine can be a slow shader or a fast liner. You'll never find a straight up answer, sorry.
Do you use a round shader or round liner to color a tattoo?
Until you have the skill to use a liner for coloring I would suggest you keep to the shader for coloring, you can dig holes in your client with a liner and that would not be a good idea. When using a shader for coloring use small circles to fill in the areas you want to color, ensure you have good skin tension and don't rush.
What makes a liner tattoo machine a liner and a what makes a shader tattoo machine a shader?
The difference between the two machines is the gap of tension in regards to the armature bar to the frame as well the gap between the contact screw to the spring. For a liner, you will want there to be more tension with the bar and a little bit of give with the spring. For a shader, you will want there to be less tension with the bar and more with the spring. The age old reference tool for this in regards to the proper amount of gap between the screw and the spring is; the width of a nickel for a liner, and the width of a dime for a shader. With this said, this is not a universal reference and all machines have the potential to be different. It all comes down to the type of metal that your frame is made of, the type of metal your armature bar is made of, the quality of your coil wrappings, the electrical integrity of your power supply, etc., etc. You get what you pay for with tattoo equipment, and nowhere is this more relevant than with your machines, ink, needles and your power supply so don't be cheap when it comes to buying supplies.
What do they use in making a linning before the tattoo is done?
to do the outline on a tattoo you need a needle called a liner for instance you could use a 14 round liner. now for shading you need a shader which is another kind of needle now you can use a 14 round shader or a 14 flat mag shader that answer your question and an p.s you can get a needle any size they can go as small as 1 all the way up to a 49 flat and so on
What capacitor is used in a 1 inch 8 wrap coils on for a liner tattoo machine?
22uf
What capicitors go with what size coil tattoo machine?
22uf 8 wrap liner (probably too FAST), 33uf 8 or 10 wrap still fast but more steady power, and 47 uf 10 or 12 wrap color . slower harder hitting . remember 8 wrap is liner, 10 is liner /shader (set up like a liner) and 12 wraps 47uf is only for big mag set up.
What kind of tattoo machine do you use when lining a tattoo?
Premium Irons cut back, never had any better then that liner in more then 12 years tattooing
Do you use a liner or shader tattoo machine for colouring in?
a liner usually runs faster and delivers more of a punch. shaders run slower and back off easier because they make more passes over a single area of skin. these are, of course, really basic answers. there are more in depth reasons. consult your tattooist, and he/she can fill you in.
What gauge spring set up is best for a tattoo machine liner and shader?
Well, when you do line work, your gap on the spring should be the thickness of a dime. And for shading, the thickness of a nickel. Of course, everyone does it different, but this is just for beginning.-This may be the answer you were looking for but to take the question literally I believe you are asking for the actual gauge of the spring stock. Simply put it is mostly up to your personal tastes as a Tattoo Artist but the general rule of thumb is the thicker the spring the faster it will go, so for example you may use .013 - .018 for a shader and .017- .022 for a liner, you may also change the gauges between the main (back) and timing (front spring) but generally only within .002 eg. .018 main .020 timing.
How many millimeters deep in the skin is a tattoo?
Depending on the tattoo, the artist will use a liner of 1-9 small needles, and a shader of 4-14 small needles. the needles only go in through the first layer of skin, approx 1/16 - 3/32 in. As for the pain, everyone is different.
