FAQs

Can this paper be cleaned if it gets dirty?

As it is a paper product, it cannot be cleaned. It is designed to be torn off and discarded once the surface is damaged or dirty.

Is the Platinum color neutral?

Yes, Platinum is a versatile, cool-toned grey that serves as a neutral background suitable for most lighting conditions.

What width of support system do I need?

You need a crossbar that is at least 1.35 meters wide to accommodate the width of the paper roll.

Does this roll fit all standard background holders?

The core diameter is compatible with most standard studio crossbar systems. Always check your specific stand diameter before purchasing.

Is the material acid-free?

Colorama paper is designed for professional photography, but for specific archival archival requirements, please contact the manufacturer directly.

How do I best store this between shoots?

Store the rolls vertically in a dry place, preferably using a specialized rack or the Colorgrip system to prevent the bottom of the roll from flattening.

Troubleshooting

Paper sagging in the middle

Ensure the crossbar is properly tensioned or use a thicker metal support pole to prevent bowing over the 1.35m span.

Visible wrinkles or creases

Check that the paper is pulled taut and not touching the ground at a sharp angle. If creases appear, cut off the damaged section.

Paper unrolling on its own

Use large binder clips or tape to secure the bottom edge of the paper to the floor or the roll itself after reaching the desired length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Matte finish eliminates reflective hotspots
  • Sturdy core prevents drooping and bending
  • Excellent color accuracy for professional work
  • 100% recyclable materials
  • Easy to cut and dispose of after heavy wear

Cons

  • Requires a separate background support stand
  • Disposable nature means it is not a long-term permanent fixture
  • 1.35m width may be narrow for large group photos

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the LL CO581, you must utilize a standard background support system consisting of two stands and a crossbar. Slide the crossbar through the internal paper tube and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, store the rolls vertically to prevent creasing; using the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) is highly recommended for space-saving vertical storage. If the paper becomes dirty or damaged during a shoot, simply cut the affected portion off using a sharp utility knife and unroll more fresh paper from the core to continue working.
