Ok, so you must move the can across the print fairly quickly, right? I 
think that you're right about the better atomization at a full spray.

I'd been spraying the prints on a flat surface.  I'll try hanging them 
vertically.

So far I've been spraying the print on my screened-in front porch. (My 
garage is out, as it's really my woodworking shop.) I've been using my 
3m full face respirator with the standard activated charcoal filters.  I 
don't smell a thing when spraying.

Thanks for the advice,
Peter
