FAQs
Can this paper be reused?
While it is technically a disposable product, you can continue to use the same roll by pulling down fresh sections until the 11-meter length is exhausted.
How do I store the Colorama background?
It is best stored vertically in a dry environment. We recommend using a dedicated background stand or grip system to prevent the roll from unspooling.
Is the paper waterproof?
No, it is made of paper and will be damaged by liquids. Avoid spilling water or chemicals near the backdrop.
What is the best way to clean the surface?
The surface is not washable. If it becomes dirty or damaged, the best practice is to cut off the used section and pull down a fresh, clean length.
Can I use this for video production?
Yes, its non-reflective matte finish makes it an excellent choice for video production and green-screen-like applications where lighting control is critical.
Does the color match exactly as shown online?
Colorama provides exact color rendition, but please note that individual screen settings can affect how colors are perceived compared to the physical material.
Troubleshooting
The paper is sagging in the middle of the roll.
Ensure the crossbar of your support system is fully inserted and that the roll is not being left extended while unsupported for long periods.
There are light reflections appearing on the background.
Adjust the angle of your studio lights to ensure they are not hitting the paper at a direct perpendicular angle, which can cause 'hot spots' even on matte surfaces.
The edge of the paper is tearing during the shoot.
Use gaffer tape to secure the edges to the floor or the wall if the paper is prone to fluttering, and ensure your cutting blade is sharp to prevent jagged edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Colorama backdrop, ensure you have a standard background support system that can accommodate the width of the roll. Slide the support crossbar through the sturdy paper core of the roll.
For maintenance, store the rolls vertically whenever possible to prevent the paper from compressing or developing a 'memory' curl. You may use a product like the Colorgrip to keep the roll tightly wound during storage. Always keep the paper away from moisture, as paper backgrounds will absorb liquids and cause permanent staining or structural failure. When cutting the paper, use a sharp utility knife against a straight edge for a clean, even line.
