Toys R Us Backgrounds? 48" x 50' Paper Roll

[toneepham]

I was wondering if these rolls of paper would work as backgrounds? They are rather cheap and come in very big sizes.

Let me know what you think. :D

48" isn't very wide. Beside that, why not?

Maybe you can get two and put them together? It would still be cheaper right?

The point is that a seamless roll is - seamless. If you don't mind seams, you could glue a few dozen sheets of 8.5x11 together.

There's no reason why you can't do tight head shots and portraits against a 48" width. Also, if need a wide shot and not a long one you can just cut off 8 or 10 feet and turn it sideways, giving you a 10 ft. x 4 ft. background.

That made me giggle out loud.:lol:

For the price of 2 plus a couple of dollers I can get a 9ft wide roll at my local photo store.
