FAQs
What is the primary use for Colorama background paper?
It is primarily used as a photographic backdrop, but it's also ideal for theatrical sets, shop window displays, and exhibition use due to its wide color range and smooth finish.
Does this background paper come with a stand?
No, the Colorama background paper requires a separate background support system. It is designed to be used with roller systems or stands.
How do I store the background paper roll?
It should be stored vertically on its strong paper tube to prevent sagging or buckling. Keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is this paper reusable?
While durable, it is considered a disposable backdrop. Minor marks or creases can occur with use, making it less ideal for professional reuse without potential touch-ups or cleaning (which is not recommended).
What does 'reflex-free' mean?
Reflex-free means the surface is non-reflective, minimizing glare and unwanted light bounce. This is essential for achieving clean, professional studio shots.
Can I clean this background paper if it gets dirty?
As a paper product, it is not designed for cleaning. For light dust, a very gentle brush might be used, but any attempt at washing or wiping with liquids will likely damage the surface.
What are the available sizes for this background paper?
Colorama background papers are available in 2.72m x 46m and 2.72m x 50m. This specific model, LL CO365, is 2.72m x 11m.
Is the product environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Colorama LL CO365 background paper is 100% recyclable.
Troubleshooting
Paper is creased upon arrival.
Inspect the packaging. If severe, contact the retailer. Minor creases may be minimized by careful unrolling or by using a steamer *very cautiously* on a scrap piece, though this is not recommended for professional use.
Unwanted reflections appearing in photos.
Ensure the paper's mat surface is facing the camera. Adjust lighting to avoid direct glare on the background. Use diffusion on your lights if necessary.
Background support system is unstable.
Ensure all legs of the stand are fully extended and on a level surface. Do not overload the support system beyond its weight capacity.
Color rendition is not as expected.
Verify your camera's white balance settings. Ensure consistent lighting conditions. Check the paper's batch for any variations, though Colorama aims for exact color rendition.
