3. Подешавање

  1. Повежите црево за ваздух: Attach the small end of an Iwata airbrush hose (not included) to the airbrush. Connect the other end of the air hose to your air source (compressor or propellant can).
  2. Припремите боју: Ensure your paint is properly thinned for airbrushing. The HP-C Plus is suitable for various paint types, including solvent-based.
  3. Load Paint: Open the lid of the gravity-feed cup and carefully pour the prepared paint into the cup. Do not overfill; about half full is often sufficient. Ensure the breather hole in the cup lid remains clear to prevent intermittent spray.
  4. Adjust Preset Handle: The quick-flush cutaway preset handle allows you to set the maximum backward travel of the trigger, controlling the paint flow. Wind this in to limit paint flow for finer work, or out for broader sprays. This is a useful feature for beginners to maintain consistent lines.

4. Упутство за употребу

The Iwata HP-C Plus is a dual-action airbrush, meaning the trigger controls both air and paint flow independently.

  • Start Airflow: Press down on the trigger to release air.
  • Control Paint Flow: While holding the trigger down for air, pull the trigger back to release paint. The further back you pull, the more paint is released.
  • Технике прскања:
    • Broad Sprays: Hold the airbrush further from the surface and pull the trigger back further for more paint.
    • Fine Lines/Detail: Hold the airbrush closer to the surface, limit the trigger's backward travel (using the preset handle if desired), and use minimal paint flow. Removing the air cap can help monitor the needle for finer detail.
    • Тачке: With the airbrush close to the surface and minimal paint flow, quickly press and release the trigger for small dots.
  • Optimal Working Pressure: The recommended optimal working pressure is between 15-25 psi. Adjust as needed based on paint consistency and desired effect.
