    A more cost effective alternative to Hahnemuhle Protective Spray?

    I just can't justify £20+ per can of their protective spray and am finding it hard to find something similar that isn't advertised as a 'fixative' or 'varnish for acrylic paint' Any suggested would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Printing myself or using a service with non standard print sizes?

    Oh really? Would you say it's possible to feed it with a roll of paper using the manual feed and a make shift roller fixed to a wall for example?

    Printing myself or using a service with non standard print sizes?

    Printing myself or using a service with non standard print sizes?

    Awesome! I'm in the market for a Pro 1 too but am totally new to printing my own images, I'd love to know what you think of it? Inks are pricey but have 3x the typical amount in an A3+ printer. I've found a full set for £200 online (RRP £350)
