3. Подешавање

- Припремите боју: Ensure your paint is properly thinned for airbrushing. The HP-C Plus is suitable for various paint types, including solvent-based.

- 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.

- 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.
