Product Information

Full details

The Colorama Paper Background in Lobelia is an ideal choice for professional photographers, videographers, and creative designers who require a smooth, consistent, and non-reflective surface for their projects. Spanning 2.72 meters in width and 11 meters in length, this premium paper backdrop provides ample space for full-body portraits, product photography, and event displays. While it offers excellent color fidelity and a crease-free finish, users should be aware that it requires a dedicated support system for setup and is intended for studio use where space allows for the full roll length.

FAQs

Can I reuse the paper once it has been walked on?

Generally, no. The paper is designed to be disposable; once it is scuffed or torn, you should cut away the used section to reveal a clean surface.

What is the best way to store these rolls?

Store them vertically to prevent the weight of the roll from causing the cardboard core to bend or sag over time.

Is the paper fire retardant?

Colorama paper is intended for studio use. Always ensure it is kept away from direct heat sources or open flames.

Can I wipe the paper if it gets dirty?

Because it is paper, you cannot use water or cleaners. If it gets dirty, it is best to trim the damaged section.

Is this background compatible with all stand systems?

It fits most standard backdrop stands. Ensure your stand can support the weight of a full roll (approximately 6-8kg).

Troubleshooting

Paper sagging in the middle of the roll

Ensure the crossbar is properly tensioned or use a center-support pole if the span is wider than 2 meters.

Visible ripples or waves in the paper

This is usually caused by humidity. Store the rolls in a dry environment and allow the paper to hang for a few hours before shooting.

Difficulty unrolling smoothly

Check that the core tube is not dented and that the background is mounted correctly on the support system rollers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Matte, non-reflective surface minimizes light flare
  • Generous 2.72m width accommodates multiple subjects
  • Crease-free paper ensures a clean, professional backdrop
  • Durable tube design prevents sagging during mounting
  • Fully recyclable material for environmentally conscious studios

Cons

  • Requires a separate background support stand or wall-mount system
  • Paper can be torn or damaged if stepped on by heavy footwear
  • Large footprint requires adequate studio storage space

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To properly utilize your Colorama paper background, you must mount it on a compatible backdrop support system. The internal diameter of the core is designed to fit standard crossbars or expanding grip systems.

  1. Installation: Mount the roll onto your support system, ensuring the paper unrolls from the back of the tube to hang flush against the wall or floor.
  2. Maintenance: To prevent creases, always store the rolls vertically using an accessory like the Colorgrip. If the background becomes dirty or torn at the bottom after a session, simply cut off the used portion with a sharp blade and pull down fresh paper.
  3. Storage: Avoid humid environments, as paper can absorb moisture and develop ripples. Keep the rolls in a dry, climate-controlled studio space to maintain their integrity.
