the screw is probably the most critical thing your jacking with. It sets stroke depth.
as a general rule outlining= set gap to thickness of a dime.
shading= set gap to thickness of a nickel.
power supplies vary,......i usually do around 7-8 volts,...but depends on needles. Larger needle groups I go up to 9volts,.....seldom above nine though. |
