Troubleshooting
Surface has minor creases
Carefully unroll the paper to its full length and allow it to hang under its own weight for a period. For minor creases, gentle heat from a hairdryer held at a distance might help, but use with extreme caution to avoid damage.
Reflections appearing in photos
Ensure the lighting is positioned to avoid direct glare onto the paper surface. Experiment with softer, diffused lighting sources and adjust the angle of your lights relative to the background.
Paper tears easily during setup
Handle the roll and the paper with care, especially around the edges. Ensure your support system clamps are not overtightened, which can also cause tears.
Color rendition is not as expected
Ensure your camera's white balance is set correctly for the lighting conditions. The paper's color is designed for accuracy, so lighting and camera settings play a key role.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Colorama background paper requires a background support system (not included) to be used effectively. Mount the roll onto the support stand, unroll to the desired length, and secure the end to prevent it from rolling back up. It is recommended to store the roll vertically using a holder like the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) to maintain its flatness.
Compatibility: This background paper is compatible with most standard photography background support systems. Its dimensions are suitable for most studio setups.
Care: As a disposable paper product, extensive care is not required. Keep the paper dry and away from moisture. To maintain its quality, avoid touching the surface with bare hands, as oils can transfer. After use, carefully roll it back onto the tube if not fully depleted, and store vertically. For best results, use a fresh section or a new roll for critical shoots.
