No, once the enhancer has been set up, you will not need to adjust it any more.

Unless you want to adjust it for applying more or less solution.

18. How about warranty from you?

One year warranty and after service for long.

19. Any tip to reach more black density?

We have made several experiments in our laboratory, in order to get darkest density for some users making critical plates, please refer to the following chart:

Density

It shows that if you lay down the paper 2-4 minutes after enhancing, then dry it with Q-B gun. The density can increase from 1.05 to 3.24 ¡V 3.49, which means 309% to 332% black density increased. To put the enhanced paper aside for 2-4 minutes then drying it, you can get best enhanced results.

20. In addition to this, any other way to increase density?

To release the pressure between 2 rollers in oreder to carry more solution applying to paper surface, lay it down for 2-4 minutes then dry up will increase density definitely.
