FAQs
Can this paper be cleaned if it gets dirty?
Generally, paper backdrops cannot be cleaned once soiled. The best practice is to trim the damaged section and pull down a fresh length.
What is the best way to store the roll?
Always store the roll standing upright in a cool, dry place inside its original packaging to prevent warping and dust accumulation.
Is the Lagoon color accurate to what I see on screen?
While we strive for accuracy, slight color variations can occur due to monitor calibration settings.
Can I use this for outdoor shoots?
It is designed for indoor studio use. If used outdoors, it is highly susceptible to wind damage and moisture.
Does the roll come with a stand?
No, the background roll is sold individually and requires a separate background support system for installation.
Troubleshooting
The paper is rippling or buckling on the floor.
Ensure the roll is hung perfectly level on your support system and use gaffer tape to pull the paper taut against the floor surface.
The background shows wrinkles or folds.
Check that the crossbar is not sagging under the weight of the roll; if necessary, use a center support pole to keep the crossbar straight.
The roll is unfurling on its own.
Use large spring clamps on both sides of the roll against the crossbar to hold the paper in place at your desired length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this background, you must utilize a crossbar support system. Slide the sturdy cardboard core onto your studio stand's crossbar, ensuring the roll is balanced to prevent it from unfurling rapidly. Compatibility is universal with standard studio background kits. To maintain the paper, always store the roll vertically in its original plastic sleeve and protective box when not in use. Avoid high-humidity environments, as moisture can cause the paper to ripple or lose its structural integrity over time. Always secure the paper to the floor using gaffer tape to prevent movement during use.
