Haven't used it much yet. Don't know how to describe it. It's sort of like reinforced plastic !? Was contemplating getting a blue gradient mat from them. Comes out to something like $30'ish shipped which seems a little steep (maybe I'm just cheap!)Anthony Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430040709125380015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391068405860809609.post-51490396031399347022017-03-09T16:51:43.925-05:002017-03-09T16:51:43.925-05:00How do you like it?

I do think for larger things it won't be a problem at all.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093356872477703550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391068405860809609.post-42983087705894788732017-03-08T10:10:55.316-05:002017-03-08T10:10:55.316-05:00Interesting.

If you have the room, you can set the background farther back from the figure too. One trick I use for paper background is bookends and spring clamps of clothes pins. That holds it up and then paper weights at the front corners to help maintain the curve in the paper. But yeah a sheet of paper doesn't always cut it.
