FAQs

What is the primary use for the Colorama LL CO150?

The primary use is as a photographic backdrop, but it's also ideal for theatrical sets, shop window displays, and exhibitions.

Does this background paper come with a support system?

No, the background paper requires the use of a separate support system, which is sold independently.

How should I store the background paper roll?

It is best stored vertically using a specialized grip accessory like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to keep it smooth and prevent sagging.

Is the paper reusable?

While it can be used multiple times if kept clean and undamaged, it is designed as a disposable backdrop for convenience and to ensure a pristine surface.

What does 'reflex-free' mean?

Reflex-free means the surface is designed to minimize light reflection, providing a smooth, non-glare finish ideal for photography.

Can I clean this paper if it gets dirty?

This background paper is not washable. Minor dust can be brushed off, but for significant marks or damage, it's best to use a fresh section or a new roll.

Are there other colors and sizes available?

Yes, Colorama offers background paper in over 55 colors and multiple sizes.

Troubleshooting

Paper has creases or sags.

Ensure the background support system is stable and the crossbar is level. Try unrolling a fresh section of paper, ensuring it is pulled taut. If stored improperly, creases may be permanent. Using a grip accessory can help prevent sagging.

Surface has unwanted reflections.

The paper is designed to be reflex-free. Ensure your lighting is positioned to avoid direct glare onto the surface. Soft, diffused lighting is recommended.

Color rendition is not as expected.

Ensure your camera's white balance is set correctly. The paper offers exact color rendition, but external lighting and camera settings play a crucial role.

Roll is difficult to unroll or manage.

Verify that the roll is properly seated in its support system and that any securing mechanisms (like caps or grips) are correctly in place and not hindering movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Colorama LL CO150 background paper requires a background support system for proper setup. This typically involves two stands and a crossbar to suspend the roll. Unroll the desired length of paper and secure it to the crossbar. Ensure the paper is taut and free from major wrinkles before use. For best results, weigh down the bottom edge if necessary.
