Hi guys!
I'm beginner laminator so I will be appretiate you for you help.

I have a round shaped mold. There is common 2 plies of 200 g 4H satin carbon fabric and extra 4 plies on the other area (support area). 
I have no idea how to impregnate this one by minimal quantity of resin. I guess I need at least two points of resin feed. One of this needed to be in the geometrical center of support area.
Thanks

I may not be understanding right but my suggestions would be to place the feed line over (or along the edge if you're worried about printing - or pull the spiral wrap up in a pleat before it gels) the thicker area and feed out to a vacuum perimeter on the other side.  You'll want to put a vacuum break between the edge of the fiber and the spiral wrap or whatever you use for the vacuum side manifold.  This keeps the resin from just running into the hose/catch pot before filling the part.  You're using surface flow?  Here's a picture:
