According to Summit's gun description it should be between 2 and 3.5 bar which works out to 29 to 50 p.s.i. range. That's kind of high if you ask me. My Astro LVLP works down around 23 p.s.i. but again if the manufacturer is saying that range, then that's where you start.

Those summit brand guns are considered Conventional which are typically rated at higher PSI. HVLP is were you might want to be use less PSI but remember to keep the CFM factor in mind too.
