Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I've read the reviews and a lot of them mention how heavy the rolls are. Please could you tell me the weight of a roll of 8'x20' white vinyl? Just want to make sure I get a background stand that can hold it!

A: It weighs in at 22 pounds. I use Photoflex backdrop stands and pole to support it and it holds it just fine. It is bulky to transport and I have thought about cutting it into two rolls, but it is a nice vinyl backdrop.

Q: 2. Interested if this would work as a floor in a shoot? We shoot dance photos and presently tape a 10x20 cloth background on the floor with a carpet pad underneath, and hang a 10x20 cloth background. Inevitably the black cloth on the floor picks up dust and footprints and we're looking for a vinyl that would be easier to sweep/mop quickly between shots. It would need to lie flat, we would tape the edges with gaffers tape. Interested in your opinion! Thanks!

A: I have 2 of these vinyl backgrounds and it has been used as flooring. It does lay flat and I didn't need to tape it down. I recommend putting it on a flat floor though, it works better that way. Putting a vinyl on a carpet will tend to create sinking spots, not recommended for photography. We had a videographer record a Michael Jackson impersonator dancing on it. This picks up dust as well, but a whole lot easier to clean. Hope this helps.

Q: 3. Is the back of this white or gray

A: The backside is gray.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with iPF780 poster maker printer?

A: Yes, this paper will work with the ipf780.

Q: 5. Is this too small to do portraits of a tall subject standing up?

A: Yes. This backdrop is too small for full body shots. It's fine for close-up portraits.

Q: 6. I'm getting sagging wrinkles in mine. It's hanging from an Impact wall mounting kit but weather I'm hanging just enough so it's not touching the floor, or pulled all the way out so it's covering the floor and wall, I still get sagging wrinkles. Fortunately these aren't showing up in the photos as I'm blowing out the background, but they definitely would show up if I weren't. I tried clamping the edges to a C-stand to pull it taught and that helped a bit but it would have taken several clamps to get it fully clean. Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal, or ? Thanks!

A: I use mine only to blow out the background - not gray yet. I have only noticed my crossbar sagging ever so slightly - if I changed the light setup to get gray I don't feel the amt. of sagging would be a problem for me. I can't tell you that you are doing anything wrong - just share what I have done/experienced. My guess is your cross bar is not strong enough. I do use clamps to pull a different colored canvas more tight but not the white vinyl - works-ish but is a pain (I feel your pain). I use the photoflex background holder and keep it as close to 9' wide as possible (9' + couple inches. This crossbar system isn't perfect for other reasons, but what is, right?) I did see a photo of a photogs setup where he used a length of wood as his crossbar held up by 2 stands - no sagging at all. I also wonder if your stands are a lot more than 9' apart causing more sag. I have left mine on the cardboard core. One last thought: If mine did sag and that showed in the resulting photos I'd be tempted to put an extra stand in the middle, behind the background to hikeup the center just a touch . . . maybe with a speedlight foot on the top as not to damage the roll . . . does any of this help? I love this backdrop -- all the best!

Q: 7. Is the dimensions 5' across the bar and 12' hanging ?

A: Yes that's right

Q: 8. What is the diameter of the core?

A: This has a 3" core.

Q: 9. How long is this roll pulled all the way down? I understand its 5' by 7' but how long is the roll?

A: It is 5 feet wide by 7 feet long.

Q: 10. How would someone roll this up?? I looked at the vari systems and they only support 22 lbs. But the specs on this 9x20 say it weighs 29 lbs. I'd like to get this 9x20 but I don't know how to roll it up

A: It comes rolled on a heavy duty cardboard roll inside a cardboard tube. I just roll it back up, slide back in the tube and store it till next time.
