Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this background paper reusable?
It is intended as a disposable product. Once the surface becomes worn or marked, you cut away the used portion and pull down a new, clean length.
Can I use this for full-body shots?
At 1.35m wide, this specific model is best suited for portraits, headshots, or product photography rather than wide full-body group shots.
What is the best way to store this roll?
It is recommended to store the rolls vertically using an accessory like the Colorama Colorgrip to maintain the shape of the core.
Is the Lilac color consistent across different rolls?
Colorama uses high-quality aniline dyes to ensure color consistency, making it reliable for matching backgrounds across multiple shoots.
Does it come with a stand?
No, the package includes the paper roll only. You will need to purchase a separate background support system.
Troubleshooting
Paper sagging in the middle
Ensure the cardboard core is fully supported by the crossbar or confirm that your crossbar is not bowing under the weight of the roll.
Visible wrinkles or creases
Ensure the paper is rolled out smoothly and tensioned properly; if creases persist, check that the storage environment is not too humid.
Surface light reflection
Reposition your studio lights; while the paper is matte, direct light at a low angle may cause reflections on any surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this background, you will need a standard background support system consisting of two stands and a crossbar, or a wall-mounted paper drive system. Simply slide the cardboard core onto the crossbar. For maintenance, keep the paper in a dry environment to prevent humidity from causing waves or moisture damage.
To prolong the life of the surface during a shoot, you can use gaffer tape to secure the paper to the floor. When the area under the subject's feet becomes scuffed or dirty, simply cut off the damaged section with a sharp utility knife and pull down a fresh length from the roll.
