Product Information

Full details

The Colorama LL CO149 Charcoal background paper is designed for professional photographers, studio owners, and creative display designers who require a seamless, non-reflective backdrop for portraits and product photography. Its key benefit is the high-quality, matte, fine-tooth surface that provides consistent color rendition and a professional finish without unwanted glare. However, users should note that the paper is a large, heavy roll that requires a dedicated background support system for proper mounting and use.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this background paper reusable?

It is considered a disposable, single-use product. Once the paper is walked on or damaged, the standard practice is to cut off the used section.

Can I use this for video production?

Yes, the non-reflective, matte surface is excellent for video production and prevents unwanted highlights.

What is the best way to store these rolls?

Rolls should always be stored standing vertically to maintain the integrity of the cardboard core.

Is the Charcoal color consistent across different batches?

Yes, Colorama is known for its exact color rendition and strict quality control standards.

Does this require a specific stand?

It requires a standard background support system with a crossbar that can accommodate a 2.72m width.

How do I cut the paper safely?

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

Troubleshooting

Paper sagging in the middle of the roll

Ensure you are using a rigid crossbar support system and that the roll is not being stored horizontally for extended periods.

Light reflections appearing on the background

Adjust the angle of your studio lights to ensure they are not hitting the paper at a direct perpendicular angle, or move the lights further away to soften the spread.

Difficulty unrolling the paper smoothly

Ensure the roll is centered correctly on your support system and that the core ends are not obstructed by the stand clamps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-reflective, matte surface eliminates harsh glares
  • Extremely smooth finish for seamless backgrounds
  • Durable and hard-wearing material
  • 100% recyclable paper construction
  • Sturdy core prevents sagging or creasing

Cons

  • Requires a separate background support system
  • Large size can be difficult to manage in small spaces
  • Paper is disposable and will show wear after multiple foot traffic uses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Colorama background paper effectively, you must mount it on a compatible studio background support system. Ensure your crossbar is rated to hold the weight of the roll to prevent bowing.

Best Practices for Care:

  • Storage: Always store the rolls vertically. This prevents the weight of the paper from causing the tube to warp.
  • Handling: Use the `Colorgrip` (LL COPAPERGRIP) to secure the roll when not in use and to facilitate easy movement.
  • Maintenance: Since the paper is disposable, if the floor section becomes marked or torn, cut the damaged area off with a sharp blade and roll out a fresh section for your next shoot.
  • Environment: Keep the paper in a dry, climate-controlled room to avoid moisture damage which can cause ripples in the paper surface.
