Product Information
Full details
The Manfrotto Paper Roll 2.72x11m in Royal is the ideal backdrop solution for professional photographers and videographers who demand a clean, wrinkle-free surface for their studio sets. Its primary benefit is providing a seamless, high-quality background that is easily refreshed by simply unrolling a new section when the bottom becomes worn or soiled. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the large format requires a compatible support system which must be purchased separately.

FAQs
Can I cut the paper to a different width?
Yes, the paper can be cut to your preferred width using a sharp utility knife, though it is designed for use at its full 2.72m width.
Is this backdrop reusable?
The paper is a consumable product; you reuse the clean sections, and tear off and dispose of the soiled sections.
Does it come with a stand?
No, the Manfrotto Paper Roll is the backdrop material only. Support systems are sold separately.
How do I secure the paper to the floor?
It is recommended to use gaffer tape on the underside of the paper to secure it to the floor without leaving residue.
Is the Royal color light-reflective?
The paper is designed with a matte finish to minimize light reflection and glare, ensuring a professional look under studio strobes.
Troubleshooting
Paper is sagging or uneven.
Ensure the crossbar of your support system is level and that both ends of the roll are secured tightly with tension clamps or core plugs.
Visible wrinkles or creases during unrolling.
Ensure the paper is pulled from the roll at a steady, even tension; if creases appear, check for debris on the floor surface beneath the roll.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up this backdrop, you will need a background support stand or a wall-mounted paper roller system that can accommodate a 2.72m width. Ensure that your support system is weighted down with sandbags, as the weight of an 11-meter roll can make the stand top-heavy. When storing the paper, keep it in a cool, dry place and ensure it is stored vertically if possible to prevent the core from warping over time. Avoid contact with moisture, as the paper is not water-resistant and will buckle if exposed to liquids.
