Store the roll upright or horizontally on a shelf, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive heat to maintain its condition and prevent damage.

What are the shipping restrictions for this product?

This item cannot be shipped outside of the UK.

How do I clean the surface of the paper?

It's best to handle the paper with clean hands and avoid touching the surface. If dust accumulates, gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids as they can stain or damage the paper.

Troubleshooting

Uneven lighting on the green screen

Adjust your lighting setup. Use multiple lights to ensure even coverage across the entire backdrop. Avoid placing lights too close to the paper.

Difficulties with green screen keying in post-production

Ensure the green paper is completely free of wrinkles and shadows. The green color should be consistent. Check your keying settings in the editing software; sometimes slight adjustments to spill suppression or tolerance are needed.

Paper is creased or damaged

For minor creases, try unrolling the paper completely and letting gravity flatten it for a few hours. For significant damage, you may need to cut away the affected section or use a new roll.

The backdrop appears dull or lacks vibrancy

Ensure adequate lighting. The paper's vibrancy is best showcased with proper illumination. Clean the surface gently with a dry microfiber cloth if dust is present.
