The filter the pro has only helps while printing. The moment you open up the box to take out a finished print you are exposed and venting into the room unfiltered.

I do not have a resin printer so please forgive my ignorance. If I get the pro version is an additional UV source needed for curing the prints or does it cure within the unit itself?
