Hahnemühle Protective Spray protects digital fine art prints from external influences. The aerosol lays down a fine film on the paper without changing its structure — fixing the colors of pigment and dye inks, preventing eventual color fading, and keeping the intensity and high brilliance of the colors permanent.
The coating increases the abrasion resistance of fine art papers, reducing the risk of fingerprint marks and scratches. It also contains a UV absorber for additional protection against UV light. The improved formulation is fast-drying, and yellowing of the print due to the spray is not possible. Each pack contains two 400ml aerosol cans.

Frequently asked questions
What does Hahnemühle Protective Spray do?
It seals digital fine art prints with a fine protective film that fixes pigment and dye inks, guards against color fading, adds UV protection, and increases abrasion resistance against fingerprints and scratches — all without changing the paper's surface or yellowing the print.
Does it change the look or texture of the paper?
No. The film lays on the surface without altering the paper structure, and it won't cause yellowing, so the print's original finish, intensity, and brilliance are preserved.
Can it be shipped by air or internationally?
No. As a pressurized aerosol, it ships by ground only and cannot be sent air mail or internationally.
Does it work with both pigment and dye inks?
Yes. It fixes and protects prints made with both pigment and dye inkjet inks.
