I been running my 3.2 stroke for shading around 5.6 - 6 volts - is this to slow?

How do you guys run your Halos for color - volts and stroke cam?

How do you guys run your halo for BnG - volts and stroke cam?

I really appreciate the input guys.

Don't be afraid. Try it out. Start @ 8 volts & go up from there.

i did... i just tattooed my wrist.... i skimmed the surface softly and worked it in... seems like it went in fine... was actually pretty painless.... i guess with the built in return system of a crank shaft you don't have to work about going to deep. A coil this fast would do way to much trama..... i guess thats the advantage.... and its hella fast...

what about black n grey portraits? 2.5?

or blending realism color pieces? ... 3.2?

I have very little experience w/ the 3.6 & no experience w/ the 3.2. I don't do portraits, but I do still run the same volts w/ the 2.5 for B&G.
