FAQs
What is the primary use for Colorama background paper?
It is primarily used as a photographic backdrop, but is also suitable for theatrical sets, shop window displays, and exhibition use.
Does this background paper come with a support system?
No, the background paper requires a separate support system for setup and use.
How is the Colorama background paper best stored?
It is best stored vertically using a specialized holder such as the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to maintain its flatness and prevent damage.
Is this background paper reusable?
While durable, it is often treated as a disposable backdrop to ensure a consistently smooth and crease-free surface. It can be reused if kept in good condition.
What are the dimensions of the Colorama LL CO196 in Copper?
The dimensions are 2.72 meters in width and 11 meters in length.
Can I iron out creases on this paper?
Ironing is not recommended as it can damage the paper's surface. It's best to manage creases by proper setup and storage.
What makes the surface 'reflex-free'?
The paper has a mat, non-reflective surface treatment designed to absorb light rather than bounce it back, minimizing glare during shoots.
Troubleshooting
Background has creases or wrinkles.
Ensure the background is fully unrolled and tensioned correctly on its support system. For minor creases, gently unroll and let it hang for a period; for severe creases, consider using a new section or a fresh roll.
Reflections or glare are visible.
Adjust lighting angles to minimize reflections. The paper's mat surface is designed to reduce glare, but direct, harsh lighting close to the background can still cause issues. Ensure lighting is diffused and angled away from the camera's direct line of sight to the background.
Color does not match expected shade.
Verify the product code and color name. Lighting conditions can significantly affect color perception; test the paper under your intended lighting setup. Different batches may have slight variations, though Colorama strives for consistency.
Roll is sagging or buckling.
Check that the support system's crossbar is strong enough and centered. If using a paper tube, ensure it is not damaged. Store the roll vertically to prevent long-term sagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Colorama background paper requires a compatible support system, such as a backdrop stand with crossbars or a wall-mounted system. The roll is designed to slide onto these bars. Ensure the support system is stable and can securely hold the weight of the roll. The background paper is compatible with most standard photography backdrop stands. Care should be taken to handle the roll gently to avoid creasing or tearing. Store the roll vertically using a specialized holder like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to maintain its flatness and prevent damage. Keep the paper away from moisture and direct heat sources. For cleaning, if minor dust accumulates, it can be gently brushed off. However, due to its nature, deep cleaning is not recommended; it is best used as a disposable or replaceable backdrop.
