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.
