Right, the norm in painting has for a long time been just the opposite, HPLV, although never called that. This new technology was introduced a few years ago to help in the pollution that comes with painting. It is supposed to use lots of air at very low pressure to deliver the paint without the need for as much reducer (thinner). I think HVLP guns typically run on 6-10 psi, so they often need a completely different kind of compressor.
