Anybody have any experience with these? Are they susceptible to wrinkles?

Thanks.

yes, they do wrinkle BUT if you backlight or make the background pure white or black... you will not see it.

Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I emailed and called them but never got a response.

They emailed back and said it is possible to get a few minor creases but they have a good return policy if I'm not happy. My intended purpose is to just bounce light from the front, so this may not be a smart way to go, especially using a colored one.

I have a 5x6 green/blue popup and it's near impossible to keep the wrinkles out. Not only because of the material but also they tend to sag a bit in the corners. It's difficult to make a really strong frame that can be easily folded up and support lots of weight so something has to give. If your looking for a large bounce then have a look at the Sun Bounce. www.sunbounce.com (external link)
