FAQs

What is the primary use for this background?

It is primarily designed for professional photography due to its non-reflective, fine-tooth surface. However, it is also versatile for theatrical sets, shop displays, and exhibitions.

How large is the background?

The background measures 1.35 meters in width and 11 meters in length.

Is this background washable?

No, this is a paper background and is not designed to be washed. Cleaning should be done carefully with a dry or slightly damp cloth if absolutely necessary, avoiding saturation.

How should I store the background?

It is best stored rolled in its original packaging or a protective tube in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and damage.

Can I reuse this background multiple times?

Yes, with careful handling and storage, it can be reused multiple times. However, as it is made of paper, it is considered a consumable item and may eventually show signs of wear.

What does '100% recyclable materials' mean for me?

It means that once the background has reached the end of its usable life, it can be disposed of responsibly according to local recycling guidelines, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Does it come with a stand?

No, this product is for the background paper only. A backdrop stand system is required for setup and is sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Background has creases or wrinkles

Gently unroll the background and allow it to hang for several hours. For minor creases, a low-heat iron with a protective cloth on the reverse side may be used with extreme caution. Avoid excessive heat.

Reflections are still visible

Ensure the lighting is positioned to avoid direct glare onto the background. Experiment with light placement and diffusion. The fine-tooth surface minimizes reflections, but direct, harsh lighting can still cause them.

Background is slightly torn

For minor tears, consider using gaffer tape on the reverse side to prevent further damage. For significant damage, the affected section may need to be trimmed or the background replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Unroll the background carefully from its protective packaging. It is best supported by a backdrop stand system (sold separately) or suspended securely. Ensure it is taut to minimize wrinkles.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard backdrop support systems. Can be used with lighting equipment for photography or as a surface for various artistic applications.

Care: This is a disposable background. To maintain its appearance, avoid direct contact with liquids, sharp objects, and excessive force. Store rolled in its original packaging or a protective tube when not in use to prevent creasing and damage. If minor wrinkles occur, they can sometimes be smoothed out by gently unrolling the background and leaving it to hang for a period, or by using a very low-heat iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth, though caution is advised.
