FAQs
Can I use this paper for outdoor shoots?
While possible, it is not recommended for outdoor use as the paper is fragile, susceptible to moisture, and highly sensitive to wind.
How do I cut the paper?
Use a sharp utility knife or a clean pair of shears to cut the paper squarely across the width.
Is the paper acid-free?
Yes, Colorama paper is manufactured to be acid-free, which helps in maintaining its color integrity over time.
What is the best way to clean the paper if it gets dusty?
Light dusting with a microfiber cloth is acceptable, but due to the matte nature of the paper, it is generally better to replace the section if it becomes visibly dirty.
Does this roll come with a core?
Yes, Colorama rolls are supplied on a sturdy cardboard core to fit most standard support systems.
Troubleshooting
Paper unrolling too quickly
Use metal spring clamps or gaffer tape to secure the paper to the floor or support bar tensioners.
Wrinkles or creases appearing
Ensure the roll is hung tightly and tensioned evenly across the crossbar. Avoid resting heavy equipment on the paper surface.
