    Something that runs quiet and cool with the right PSI for your process. A professional grade airbrush compressor could be a good choice.

    How about nitrogen or CO2, can they be used with an air compressor?

    Nope, air compressors are for air only.

    Those would just use a flow regulator. I use a select comfort air matress air pump for my air assist pump on my 40w laser
