Aha! nice price all round. I'm surprised by the difference in cost from dealer to dealer when it comes to shipping.

You're right about that.
I went to a local store, and they have a brand called Superior which come on a cardboard spool and plastic wrapped - heavy! but the cost was $55 which isn't bad at all since that what the cost is after shipping any way.

I am told Superior is a good brand. I think what I need essentially is a super white, richest black looks like velour will be best and a nice rich deep red- all solid not patterns etc.

Really check out hte Amvona store on Ebay...

I purchased,from the Amvona Ebay store, a ten foot heavy duty backdrop stand for $57.00 plus shipping, ended up costing me only $81.00 total. Got a backdrop (10x16) for only $8.25+ $15.50 in shipping. I read that their velour backdrop is very rich and dense in satruration. Some photographers are using that instead of chroma green/blue for digital backgrounds.(No green or blue zigzags near the hair or body). I love everythig I have gotten from them...

Here is a auction item for the black velour backdrop. There is a picture included.

And here is one for the red muslin....

Amvona is fine and dandy, you're right. The OP is looking for seamless paper, though.

I've purchased several muslins from Amvona. Their seamless paper inventory is pretty slim (I'm not even sure if they off it on ebay).

Linajen, thanks I may need just a simple back drop too. Although I prefer at this time a seamless paper, but still good to know.

I did order a really nice tripod from Amvona $116 and I have seen similar for almost
$200+! Although I did get a backdrop support from B&H $89 after shipping $102 I suppose that's not too bad.

For reflectors I have to lousy tripods that I will clip white foam core :)
