FAQs
Can I use this background for full-body portraits?
This 1.35m width is primarily intended for headshots, product photography, or tight portrait compositions rather than full-body group shots.
Is the Lupin color consistent between different rolls?
Colorama maintains high manufacturing standards to ensure color consistency, making it easy to match backdrops across different sessions.
What is the best way to cut the paper?
Use a sharp utility knife or a metal straight edge to achieve a clean, straight cut across the width of the paper.
Can I wash the paper if it gets dirty?
No, paper backgrounds are not washable. The recommended practice is to cut off the soiled section.
Does this roll come with a mounting stand?
No, the paper background roll does not include a support system; it must be purchased separately.
How should I store the roll?
Store the roll vertically in a dry area or on a dedicated wall-mounted bracket system to protect the integrity of the cardboard core.
Troubleshooting
Paper sagging in the middle
Ensure the crossbar is fully inserted into the core and that the stands are positioned correctly to provide even tension.
Wrinkles on the paper surface
Unroll the paper completely and let it hang under its own weight for a few minutes; if creases persist, check that the storage environment is not too humid.
Edges of the paper tearing
Use gaffer tape on the back side of the paper to reinforce the edges if the roll will be moved or adjusted frequently.

Care Instructions:
- Keep the roll stored upright or on a wall-mounted rack to prevent bending or creasing of the cardboard core.
- Avoid moisture, as paper backgrounds are highly susceptible to water damage.
- When not in use, keep the roll wrapped in its original plastic sleeve to prevent dust accumulation and edge fraying.
