GETTING STARTED
Compressor
The Custom Micron does not require a high pressure air source
for most applications because lower pressures are best suited for
ultra-ne, slow, high-detail spraying, ideally between 5 and 20
psi. Any Iwata Studio Series compressor will operate the Custom
Micron eciently. But realizing the Custom Micron’s full benets
requires an adjustable or regulated air source with an air storage
tank. Other compressor considerations include the length of use
while spraying and the environment, or amount of space,
you spray in.
These Iwata Studio Series models come equipped with an air
regulator for precise air adjustment.
• Smart Jet Pro: Good for small studios and normal use.
• Power Jet Lite: Good for normal studios and extended use.
• Power Jet: Great for normal studios and great for extended use.
• Power Jet Pro: Great for normal studios and great for extended
use. (Two regulators allow two airbrushes on same unit.)
