FAQs
What is the primary use for this background paper?
The primary use is as a photographic backdrop, but it is also suitable for theatrical sets, shop window displays, and exhibition stands.
Does this product come with a support system?
No, this product is the background paper roll only. A separate background support system is required for use.
How should I store the background paper?
It is best to store the roll vertically using a specialized grip (like the Colorgrip LL COPAPERGRIP) to keep it flat and prevent sagging.
Is the paper reusable?
While minor creases can be managed, the paper is considered disposable. For pristine results, a new section is unrolled as needed. It is not intended for long-term repeated use without showing wear.
What does 'reflex-free' mean?
Reflex-free means the surface is designed to absorb light rather than reflect it, preventing unwanted glare and ensuring a smooth, even background for photography.
Can I iron out wrinkles?
Ironing paper backgrounds is generally not recommended as it can damage the material or alter its finish. It is best to use a fresh section if wrinkles are problematic.
What is the material of the background paper?
It is a classic premium paper, specifically described as a strong and hard-wearing material with an aniline dye and mat, reflex-free surface.
Troubleshooting
Background has creases or wrinkles.
Carefully unroll the paper and allow it to hang freely for some time. Ensure the roll is stored vertically to prevent sagging. For critical shoots, unroll a fresh section.
Surface shows glare or reflections.
Adjust your lighting setup to minimize direct reflections. Ensure the paper surface is clean and free from dust. The mat finish is designed to reduce glare.
Paper tears easily.
Handle the paper with care during setup and use. Avoid pulling or snagging. Ensure it is properly supported to prevent unnecessary stress on the material.
Roll does not fit standard support system.
Verify the width of your background support system crossbar. The LL CO173 has a width of 2.72 meters (approximately 9 feet), which is compatible with most standard professional systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Colorama LL CO173 background paper requires a background support system. This typically involves two stands and a crossbar to hold the roll. Unroll the desired length of paper and secure it to the crossbar. It is recommended to store rolls vertically using a specialized grip like the Colorama LL COPAPERGRIP to maintain flatness.
Compatibility: This background paper is compatible with most standard photographic background support systems. It is designed for use with continuous lighting or flash photography and is suitable for event backdrops and display purposes.
Care: As a disposable paper product, the Colorama LL CO173 is not designed for long-term care. Minor creases can sometimes be managed by carefully unrolling and letting the paper hang. For best results and to maintain its pristine surface, avoid direct contact with liquids and sharp objects. Once a section is soiled or damaged, unroll a fresh portion or replace the roll.
