FAQs

What is the best way to store the Colorama background paper?

It is recommended to store the roll vertically using a specialized grip like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to prevent it from unrolling and to maintain its shape.

Can I wash this background paper?

No, this background paper is not washable. It is made of paper and should be kept dry. Spot cleaning with a very lightly damp cloth may be possible for minor dust, but avoid getting it wet.

What support system do I need for this background?

You will need a separate background support system, such as a T-bar stand or a multi-support system, that can accommodate its 2.72m width and ensure it is held taut.

Is the Storm Grey color suitable for all types of photography?

Yes, the Storm Grey is a versatile neutral color that works well for portraits, product photography, and general studio use. It provides a clean, non-distracting backdrop.

What is the weight of the background paper roll?

The Colorama Storm Grey background paper roll weighs 47 kg.

How do I avoid wrinkles on the background?

To minimize wrinkles, unroll the paper carefully and ensure it is taut on your support system. Storing it vertically and handling it with care also helps.

Is this background recyclable?

Yes, the Colorama background paper is 100% recyclable.

Troubleshooting

Background has wrinkles or creases.

Gently unroll a fresh section of the background paper. Ensure the support system is holding the paper taut. For minor wrinkles, hanging for a short period may help them relax. Avoid ironing or using excessive heat.

Uneven lighting or glare on the background.

Adjust the position and angle of your lighting sources. The paper's fine-tooth, non-reflective surface should minimize glare; ensure no direct lights are hitting it at a sharp angle. Consider using diffusion for your lights.

Paper tears easily.

Handle the paper with care, especially at the edges. Ensure it is properly tensioned on the support system to avoid unnecessary stress. If a tear occurs, unroll further to use an undamaged section.

Color appears different than expected.

Ensure your monitor is color-calibrated. The 'Storm Grey' is a neutral tone, and variations can be due to ambient light during shooting or your camera's white balance settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This background paper requires a support system to be used effectively. This typically involves a stand with crossbars or a wall-mounted system. Unroll the paper slowly to the desired length, ensuring it is taut and free of significant wrinkles. It is recommended to store the roll vertically using a specialized grip like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to maintain its shape and prevent damage.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard background support systems designed for photographic backdrops. Ensure your support system can accommodate the 2.72m width and the overall weight of the roll (47 kg).

Care:

  • Handle with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
  • Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the paper.
  • Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or damage.
  • If the surface becomes dusty, a soft brush or a very lightly dampened cloth can be used *gently*. Avoid excessive moisture, as this can cause the paper to warp or tear.
  • For best results, unroll a fresh section of the paper for each new shoot to ensure a pristine surface.
