Post Do different masks effect the cm h2o script? 
My  pressure was initially scripted  with a nasal mask @ 12.   After several masks (mouth leaks and mask  leaks) I ended with Hybrid. With Hybrid I had some troubles with  leaks @ 12 and asked to have it lowered to 10.  My subsiquet visit   to my sleep Dr. showed I was doing great @ 10.

I wonder if masks in themselves can change your scripted pressure?

No, a straight CPAP will output your scripted pressure regardless but the different masks WILL affect your leak rate so be sure to take this into account when checking your morning data.
