Product Information

Full details

The Colorama LL CO151 is a professional-grade, 2.72m x 11m paper background designed for photographers, set designers, and exhibition creators who require a consistent, reflex-free backdrop for their projects. It offers a smooth, crease-free surface that ensures professional color rendition and light fastness, though users should note that it requires a dedicated support system for setup and is intended as a single-use, disposable surface that may need trimming as it gets used.

FAQs

Can I wipe the paper background clean?

No, this is a paper product. If it gets dirty or torn, the best practice is to cut off the damaged section and pull a fresh length from the roll.

Is this background fire-retardant?

Colorama paper backgrounds are made for professional use, but you should always check local fire safety regulations for public venue installations.

How do I store this roll vertically?

It is recommended to use the dedicated Colorgrip accessory to keep the roll tightly wound and upright.

Is the color consistent across different rolls?

Yes, Colorama is known for its high standard of color accuracy and consistent batch production.

Does it come with a stand?

No, this product is the paper roll only; a support system must be purchased separately.

Can I use this for outdoor shoots?

It is designed for indoor studio or display environments. Using it outdoors is difficult due to wind and moisture, which can easily damage the paper.

Troubleshooting

Background sagging in the middle

Ensure the crossbar is properly tensioned or use a thicker diameter support bar to better fit the internal diameter of the core.

Visible wrinkles or creases

Ensure the roll is stored vertically and never laid flat under heavy objects. If light creasing occurs, tensioning the paper properly on the stands often helps it flatten out.

Paper tearing during unrolling

Check that the paper is pulled evenly from both sides of the roll; pulling at an angle can cause the edge to snag and tear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent non-reflective matte finish
  • Sturdy core prevents sagging
  • Consistent and accurate color reproduction
  • Environmentally friendly 100% recyclable paper
  • Wide surface area suitable for various subjects

Cons

  • Requires a separate support stand system
  • Disposable nature means it is not a permanent fixture
  • Large roll size requires dedicated vertical storage space

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this background, you will need a standard background support stand system (crossbar and two stands). Slide the crossbar through the hollow paper core of the roll and lock the ends to ensure the roll remains securely in place.

For maintenance, the most critical aspect is storage. To keep the background in the best condition, store the roll vertically. Using the optional Colorgrip accessory (LL COPAPERGRIP) is highly recommended to keep the paper from unrolling or sagging when not in use. Avoid exposing the paper to high humidity, as this can cause the paper to ripple or lose its structural integrity over time.
