FAQs
Can this paper be cleaned if it gets dirty?
No, this is a disposable paper product. If it becomes soiled, the best practice is to cut away the affected portion and unroll a clean section.
Does this roll come with a mounting stand?
No, the package contains the paper roll only. You will need a compatible studio backdrop support system.
Is the paper matte or glossy?
The paper features a reflex-free matte finish designed specifically to prevent glare during flash photography.
How should I store the roll when not in use?
The paper should be stored vertically to maintain its shape and prevent the cardboard core from sagging.
Is this wide enough for family portraits?
The 1.35m width is generally best suited for headshots, product displays, or single-person portraits. For groups, a wider 2.72m roll is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The paper is sagging in the middle.
Ensure that your support bar is rigid and properly tensioned. If using a long bar, check that the paper core is not damaged.
Background appears wrinkled.
Check if the paper was stored horizontally for a long period. Store vertically to allow gravity to keep the paper hanging flat.
Light is reflecting off the background.
Adjust the angle of your lights. This paper is matte, but direct, high-intensity light at a shallow angle can still produce reflections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Colorama LL CO544, you must use a backdrop support system or wall-mounted brackets capable of holding a paper core. Simply slide the support bar through the center of the paper's cardboard tube and tighten the clamps to prevent the roll from slipping.
To ensure the longevity of your background:
- Always store the roll vertically to prevent bending or flat spots.
- Use the optional Colorama Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) for secure vertical storage.
- Keep the paper in a dry environment; humidity can cause the paper to ripple or warp.
- When the bottom section becomes worn or dirty, simply cut it off with a sharp utility knife and pull down a fresh, clean segment.
