While in the process of setting up my studio, took me a while before I got the paper up, so I finally set it up the other day and unrolled it... below is what I saw.
EDIT: The texture in the paper seems too bumpy, is that how it's supposed to be?

Lighting it from the side will emphasize the any wrinkles in the paper.

Feb 14, 2012 10:21 | #6 Hmm... so it's normal for paper to have that bumpy a texture? Not had a chance to use it in my shots yet, need to get rid of the old large office desk on the right side before i roll it out. Terence

I had read about wrinkles being caused by humidity.Oman unfortunately is a very humid country and I try to keep this room as free from humidity as possible but I is there more I can do or would I have to live with this problem? This was some chinese brand paper, would better quality paper like Colorama (which is available here) be more resistant to humidity? Most of us have studios in the basement and it gets humid, especially in the summer. warmer stats here in the US are humid as well. Shankar

How are you storing these when not in use? You shoul pu them back in the cardboard tube and stand it vertically. https://photography-on-the.net …ghlight=seamless+humidity https://photography-on-the.net …ghlight=seamless+humidity I just got this about 2 weeks ago and has been stored vertically (read about this) in the same room. Just had time only the other day to have it set up. The vendor also stores these vertically in a room filled with other equipment. gonzogolf wrote in post #13896442 I get what you are seeing, but I'm still betting that if you light it from less of an extreme angle you wont even notice it. Probably true. I haven't even tried lighting it in a normal setting just yet, will test and hope for the best results. Terence
