FAQs
Can I reuse this paper?
This is a single-use, disposable background paper. While you can trim off damaged sections, it is intended to be replaced once it is worn or soiled.
Does this paper come with a stand?
No, the Colorama LL CO516 is the paper roll only. You will need a separate background support system to mount it.
Is the color exactly as shown online?
Colorama uses high-quality aniline dyes for exact color rendition, though monitor settings can slightly influence the appearance of the 'Dandelion' yellow online.
How do I store the roll?
The rolls should always be stored vertically, ideally using a dedicated storage solution like the Colorgrip to prevent damage to the edges.
Is the material waterproof?
No, this is a high-quality paper product and is not water-resistant. Keep it away from liquids to prevent staining and warping.
Troubleshooting
Paper sagging in the middle
Ensure the background support crossbar is fully locked into place and that the paper is centered on the core.
Creases appearing on the backdrop
Ensure the paper is pulled evenly from both sides and keep the roll stored vertically to maintain structural tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the LL CO516, you must utilize a background support system featuring a horizontal crossbar that can accommodate a 1350mm width core.
- Installation: Slide the paper roll core onto your support system's crossbar, ensuring it is centered.
- Unrolling: Gently pull the paper to the desired length. Use spring clamps to secure the paper to the crossbar if your system lacks a tensioning mechanism to prevent accidental unrolling.
- Care and Storage: Always store the roll vertically to prevent the core from bending. Utilizing the 'Colorgrip' accessory is highly recommended for keeping the roll tidy and protected from dust when not in use.
- Maintenance: If the paper becomes dirty or damaged at the bottom after a shoot, simply cut the used portion off with a sharp utility knife to reveal a fresh, clean surface for your next project.
