FAQs

Is the background waterproof?

No, it is made of paper. Exposure to liquids will damage the surface and potentially cause warping.

Can I use this for video production?

Yes, it is excellent for video. The matte, non-reflective surface is ideal for keeping studio lighting consistent on camera.

How do I cut the paper?

Use a sharp utility knife or a dedicated paper cutter along a straight edge for a clean, professional cut.

What is the best way to store the roll?

Store it vertically to prevent the core from bending. Keeping it in a dedicated stand or using a grip keeps it clean and ready for use.

Can I reuse the paper after it has been stepped on?

While you can clean light scuffs, it is generally intended to be cut off and discarded once the floor area is worn or torn.

Does the Urban Grey reflect light?

No, it is designed with a matte, reflex-free finish that absorbs light rather than reflecting it.

Troubleshooting

Paper sagging in the middle

Ensure the roll is mounted on a compatible support system and the core tube is not damaged. Use clamps on the crossbar to tension the paper.

Light reflections appearing on the background

Adjust the angle of your lights so they are not directly perpendicular to the background. Increase the distance between the subject and the background to soften the light falloff.

Visible wrinkles or creases

If the paper is creased, it may be due to improper storage. Ensure the roll is stored vertically and try to weigh down the bottom edge to pull it taut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reflex-free surface ensures professional lighting results
  • Crease-free material provides a clean, seamless look
  • Generous 11m length allows for frequent trimming of worn areas
  • Heavy-duty tube prevents bowing or sagging
  • 100% recyclable material

Cons

  • Single-use disposable nature
  • Requires significant storage space for the 2.72m width
  • Vulnerable to liquid spills and moisture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this background, you will need a sturdy background support system capable of holding a 2.72m roll. Always mount the roll securely to ensure the paper unrolls evenly. For optimal storage, keep the roll standing vertically; using a product like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) is highly recommended to keep the roll tightly wound and free of dust.

To ensure the longevity of the roll during use:

  1. Unroll carefully: Avoid pulling too hard to prevent tears at the edges.
  2. Secure the bottom: Use gaffer tape on the back of the paper to secure it to the floor.
  3. Maintain humidity: Store in a dry environment, as moisture can cause the paper to ripple or lose its flat shape.
  4. Handle with clean hands: Oils from fingers can mark the matte surface, so handle the edges whenever possible.
