Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The inside of my light box is really small 12 x 12. Is this sheet available in a smaller size?

A: Unfortunately, Flotone only produces a 31 x 43 as its smallest size.

Q: 2. How do you mount it on Paper Drive? It bows under the weight. After a week or so, it droops for couple inches. I was thinking, may be to add a crosspole for the support. Will it work?

A: I think using the pole inserted into the paper roll is the best way to do it. I don't think the paper roll is sturdy enough to be a long term solution to support the weight of the background as it will weaken in the middle and break as indicated by the slight bend in the middle when you suspect it on its own weight.

Q: 3. It appears there is some blue in this backdrop, from photos people have posted. Is this true? Trying to avoid blue, just want black/grey/white tones in the paper. Still using my graduated grey/white BH backdrop from several years ago but it adds blue tones often. Thanks.

A: There is no blue on this background , you can add blue gel to the light if you want to add blue to the background . In your case you don't need to .

Q: 4. Does the vinyl reflect speedlight flash if using either a white card or diffuser?

A: Not really. With enough direct lighting you MIGHT get a little, but you're more concerned with shadow..... So much depends on distance and angle of your light source.

Q: 5. How well does this matte black vinyl take a gridded light to create a vignette effect in a portrait? All the photos I've seen don't have it lit. Wondering if a light angled up at it would create too much of a shine or noticeable pattern due to the slight pattern in the vinyl.

A: This background could work well with a light that has a grid attached but as far what effect you will get, that all depends on which degree the grid has. With that being said, it would be best to experiment with different grids until the desired effect is obtained. While the background is textured to some extent, you may not notice that if you're shooting at a shallow depth of field.

Q: 6. does this backdrop have a pocket at the top ?

A: No, there is no pocket.

Q: 7. For the larger size (43"67"), which measurement is the height? I am looking for one that is taller than it is wide, but the photos seem to show it as being longer in width. Thanks!

A: The Flotone Graduated Background would be 43" wide by 67" long.

Q: 8. What is the total weight of the backdrop?

A: This product weighs 32 pounds.

Q: 9. Just want to confirm, is the 31 in the length or the width?

A: it is 31 widw by 43 long

Q: 10. Will these work on a wall-mounted roller system, like the Impact wall mounting kit? If so, what's the diameter of the tube these come on (for getting some PVC pipe)?

A: Savage lists their vinyl background as having a cardboard core which measures about 2.1 on the inside. If using it with the Impact Wall Mounting Kit, the Vari-Drives in that kit would insert into the cardboard core to help suspend it up onto the wall hooks.
