Get the PERFECT Spray Pattern! Airless Sprayer Tips

What happens here

Increase the pressure on the Titan 440 Impact sprayer from 700 PSI to approximately 1000 PSI (at the pump). Spray another vertical line next to the previous one. Compare the two patterns, noting a slight improvement in reducing fingering. Continue to increase the pressure to about 2200 PSI (at the pump), which is the standard operating pressure for many high-production tips. Spray a third line. The pattern should now be much more even with feathered edges and minimal fingering. However, be aware that excessively high pressure can lead to increased kickback, fallout, and overspray.

Goal: Gradually increase the sprayer pressure to eliminate 'fingering' and achieve a more uniform spray pattern with the high-production tip, while also discussing the trade-offs of very high pressure.

related to a lack of pressure you know I'm gonna just turn this up I've got it up to past the thousand psi right now and I'm gonna just spray it's looking a little bit better so now we can compare these two I'm starting to get it filled up in the middle right here the fingering is start to go away and that is completely related to air pressure there's more pressure coming out of the gun I'm gonna turn it up to I've got now probably around 1500 psi I'll spray it one more time here so now that is looking really good I'm getting enough pressure to put out enough paint to get a nice even pattern the tailing is still almost eliminated now I want to say don't get frustrated if you're spraying with high production tips because sometimes you can't completely eliminate tailing we'll show you a tip later on here that will give you an amazing feathered edge and that's all related to tip but that's looking pretty good I can turn the pressure up I can continue to turn the pressure up all the way up to say I think this thing will run up to 3200 psi but now what you're doing is you may get a better feathered edge but you're gonna get a whole lot of kickback a whole lot of fallout and a whole lot of overspray so that's kind of like the trade off I'm gonna bump it up to because I I've been known to you know with sprayers that have digital readouts just use always set it at 2200 psi and just run everything at 2200 I'm gonna bump it up to about 20 that's about 2200 and that's at the pump that's not at the so here we go now I'm gonna spray one more time here I am really liking that a lot so and that's what I typically run when I'm spraying production tips twenty
