FAQs
What is the primary use for Colorama background paper?
It is primarily used as a seamless photographic backdrop, but is also ideal for theatrical sets, shop window displays, and exhibition use.
Does this background paper require a support system?
Yes, it requires the use of a background support system to be set up and used effectively.

This specific roll measures 1.35 meters in width and 11 meters in length.
Is this product environmentally friendly?

Troubleshooting
Paper has creases or wrinkles.
Carefully unroll the paper, letting gravity help smooth out minor creases. For significant creases, consider using a new section of the roll or a fresh roll if the creases interfere with your shots. Ensure the paper is taut on the support system.
Unwanted reflections on the surface.
Ensure your lighting is positioned to minimize direct reflections. The matte, reflex-free surface should inherently reduce glare, but careful lighting control is still essential.
Paper is tearing or damaged at the edges.
Handle the roll and edges with care. If damage occurs, try to use a section further into the roll or trim the damaged edge if feasible and if the remaining length is sufficient.
Support system not holding the paper securely.
Use photography clamps to secure the paper to the crossbar of your background stand. Ensure the paper is evenly distributed on the support to prevent sagging.
