What is a good alternative to Spoonflower for custom wallpaper?
It depends on what you are printing. Spoonflower is built for repeating patterns from a marketplace of artists, sold in fixed 24-inch panels of 3, 6, 9 or 12 feet. Inchwall is built for one wall: you enter its size, the mural or pattern is laid out to that size, and a person checks the file before printing.
