What
is the difference between canvas and muslin?
Canvas is a heavier material than muslin.
After painting, it must be kept rolled up
between uses or when transporting to avoid
reasing the material. There are pros and cons
between canvas backdrops and muslin backdrops.
Advantages of muslin over canvas:
It is a less expensive material so you get
more for your money. It is easier to transport
as it can be stuffed in a bag. It can be
draped for a casual look.
What is the best way to store the
backdrops?
Be sure to randomly bunch your "Dyed
Muslin" backdrop before storing it,
to ensure irregular creases that enhance
the great looking pattern (avoid the tendency
to neatly fold the backdrop - that can create
distracting - more difficult to remove -
checkerboard creases in the backdrop). To
keep your green screen or blue screen muslin
wrinkle free, we recommend rolling them
up for storage. This way you will pretty
much eliminate wrinkles that will need to
be steamed out.
How do we clean our Dyed Muslin
backdrop?
Simply toss the backdrop in a wash using
Cold Water. DO NOT USE BLEACH. For large
Dyed Muslin backdrops, we recommend use
of a double washer available at most laundromats.
Do not machine dry your muslin backdrop.
Instead, hang to dry because heat from dryers
can cause uneven shifts of color.
Will the backdrop that I purchase,
photograph the way it looks on the website?
There are many factors in determining how
a backdrop will photograph. Lighting plays
the most important role in how a subject
is captured and how the backdrop is rendered.
Parts of the backdrop that are over or under
exposed will always be rendered in lighter
or darker tones. |
