Same pressure, no matter what type mask?

Today I switched from the nasal pillows to a full face mask (Mirage Ultra) because of uncontrollable mouth leakage and completely raw nostrils. When I connected it to my S9 and ran a mask check, it seemed like a crazy amount of pressure. My titration value was 9 cm/h2o.

So... does the mask fit process use pressures above the set CPAP pressure?
Or... does switching mask types require an adjustment in the pressure?

Thanks!!!

the mask fit function operates at 10 cmh2o, so it may seem as if the pressure is higher. Don't forget to change the configuration to Fullface or the machne will not compensate for the mask correctly

I too have just changed masks, from a Quatro to an Inomed Hybrid and like you the pressure seems to be much harder to deal with.
My pressure is set at 12cm and I had no problem with the Quatro FFM (changed because of nose problems). When I try the Hybrid I feel like I'm gasping for air. I don't
know if it's the nose pillows or just me not being able to adjust.
