Questions & Answers

Shopper : is the backdrop 63 tall or 63 wide?Anthony F : TallMIKE J : It's 63 tall (from the black end to the white end) x 43" wide. These work great, but I will say they scratch really easily. I buy a new one ever other year or so.PHILIP S : 63 Inches tall.CHRISTOPHER D : Its 63" tall x 43" wideGARY G : 63" Tall. Nice piece, but caution...scratches easily!!
Patricia W : I need a backdrop that is 20" X 40. Could the 43 X 63 be cut in half? I have a photo box for jewelry.Anthony F : You can cut it to whatever you want within those dimensions.MIKE J : This can definitely be cut down. I usually chop off about 6 inches of white to have more gray to black than white to black.WILLIAM R : If simply cut in half to get 20x40, you would separate the light & dark areas & not have the graduation you want. You could possibly cut a 20x40 area from the center of it to give a smaller graduated background. You could that way select the area that gives you approximately what you want. Hope this helps.PHILIP S : Yes. Of course you would want to cut along the 63" Dimension in order to retain the graduated effect but cutting the material should be no problem.CHRISTOPHER D : Yes, it could be cut in half. Keep in mind that the gradient is designed to be used with the entire length in mind, so by cutting it short, you'd have a grayish floor instead of a white floor that might affect some of your photos. So you may decided to cut some from the top and bottom to get the proportions correct.TIMOTHY S : I would certainly think you could cut it down, but probably not in half. You would need to choose the gradation range that you want and cut accordingly. You would obviously lose the darkest or lightest areas or some of both. Hope this helps.TOR J : Mechanically? Sure - it's basically thin plastic sheeting and a really good pair of shears can cut it. The gradient however will be limited depending on where you cut. Instead of going from charcoal to white, you'd get either grey-to-charcoal or white-to-grey instead of the full effect.BRIAN B : You can cut this backdrop. Just remember it is a gradient color scheme so you'll want to make the cut from top to bottom (making two 21.5 x 63 sections). To get it down to your 40" length just decide if you want to cut off 23" from the bottom or the top (or do one of each). One will give a darker backdrop and the other a lighter one. Hope this makes sense & it helps you out.JUSTIN L : You can, I think they have a smaller size?
McWhirter P : Is this back ground made of vinyl, or is it a vinyl coating on paper?Anthony F : The paper is vinyl, durable, but the graduated material used to coat it is susceptible to scratching. Be careful moving pieces on and off. If you find a background like this that doesn't scratch, let me know.MIKE J : It seems to be all vinyl. I can't detect any sort of coating.ACCOUNTS P : The background is made of vinyl, a pvc I believe, but not certain on that.

Scratches very easily

I purchased this for pictures. Although it gives a great looking background it scratches very easily!I used for one photo shoot and am unable to used again. I don't have very heavy items either. Vases, figurines and glasses etc. be wary

Flawed paper: Nick in surface

The flotone paper arrived with a small nick in the surface. I am using it anyway, but at that price, I expected it to be flawless.

Wonderful, but expect to replace frequently

I love this background ? I can take photos of my artwork in my spare bedroom that look like they came from a professional studio. The only downside is that they are very fragile. I go through a couple a year, and I managed to visibility scratch the latest one within 10 minutes of using it. I wish they were more durable. I spend a fair amount of time photoshopping the scratches out of my photos.

Perfect upgrade for light box

My inexpensive light box came with a set of colored vinyl backgrounds, but they are shiny and monochromatic. I was easily able to cut this graduated piece to size and the result is superior photographs. Now I want additional color combinations!

Adorama's customer service is second to none.

Adorama will be my preferred photo site because their customer service is the best I've experienced in years. Whoever has set the bar for customer relations at Adorama understands how to treat busy people. I ran into a problem with my shipping (not Adorama's fault) and Iris had a solution in seconds that was on their dime. I appreciate this level of commitment to the customer. I'll be back. And yes, the background is susceptible to scratching so be careful moving artwork.

Great product!

This Flotone (Thunder Gray to white) has been one of my best tools for my photo shots. I need a professional background for my jury shots and this paper it the best. I am not a professional photographer and my pictures look great. You must be careful to not scratch the surface it will mar easily. I would highly recommend this product.

Excellent, all-purpose portable backdrop

Here's what you do: take your light stand and the Flotone to a good hardware store. Buy a solid wooden dowel, as wide as the Flotone; now, ask the hardware guy to drill a hole in the center of the dowel, as wide as and as deep as the metal top of your light stand. Next, securely duct tape the Flotone to the dowel. I then duct taped the plastic, as well, to keep the Flotone clean. Now you can safely roll up your nice new portable background, and securely set it up on your light stand when you have location jobs.

Good and priced well.

This graduated backdrop is exactly as I expected. The graduation is smooth and covers a nice range of tone from almost pure white to almost black. The only real drawback is the same as with all brands of vinyl backdrops and that is that they scratch if you look at them too hard. I am reserving my fifth star for one that is more scratch resistant. Other than that it works great and was priced nicely compared to other brands.

Works well but scratches very easy

This is a very nice product and works perfectly for my small light Booth however the reason I don't give it more stars is because it is ridiculously easy to scratch and mar. you would think in this day and age they would be able to put a more durable surface on something like this knowing that products will be on and off of it continuously.

forever cool gradations

I have used the product in all of its forms over the past 35 years (plus) to shoot objects that demand reflective lighting but still require distinct contrast from backgrounds; Silver, alabaster, and glass... Flotone is a great value, distributed by the best of the photo dealer bunch. i recommend the slightly lighter version for those that want to control the darkness of the gradation with light rather than being forced to use the deep black range. Buy both and have it all!

Quality Background

I recently used this background to shoot 600 individual products for a client's catalog. The products ranged in color and size and I had to work very fast to complete all in two days. The graduated background was perfect choice to make all products stand out whether they were light or dark colored. Client was very impressed. Cons: Wish it was a little bit larger... they need to make a medium size. The matte surface is very delicate and scuffs easily. Even the slightest touch of a finger tip while placing/removing items will leave a visible blemish. I'm told these blemishes will wash off but when you are working fast, you don't have time to wash with water and wait to be dry.

Very Heavy Duty

Perfect for table-top or small studio setups, if you are going to use for headshots you will need to use a longer lens to insure it fills the frame. Works great, Easy setup and lighting! I wish they made one a few feet wider.

Works well

Produces a nice graduated background. The grey is a little on the cool side but when color balanced for the middle of the gradation it gives the objects a little warmer tone. i use it for baskets, ceramics and small sculptures.
