How do you get the wrinkles out of the backdrops without ruining the fabric?

set your iron to the low end of synthetic- cool to slightly warm. This is a cheap poly synthetic, with a low melting point. good luck!

I put my backdrops in a pillow case, and iron it that way it comes out great.

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting! I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam.

Yes, they are seamless (just large cuts of material). The backdrops have been folded to fit in the box, so there are creases. You can iron them out.

After I hang the backdrop, I lightly spray it with water and smooth with my hand an d wrinkles fall out easily.

Wet it on delicate cycle in washing machine and dry on low heat. Wrinkles will come out.

That is a problem I have never had. I would try pulling all the material out and turning it well and then putting it back. Leave it uncovered for a few days to dry out a bit.

If folded the wrinkles needs to be ironed or steamed out but because of the tie dye look of the back drop it doesn't look bad with a little wrinkling. We keep it folded and just take a hand held steamer to the large creases. They come out easy. It's a great back drop

Ooooo I usually spray (not steam) my backdrop with water once I get it up and I instantly start seeing the wrinkles smooth out. You would want to do this at least a 30min to a hour before your shoot to give it an ample amount of time to dry before you start shooting though. Once dry - it's perfect!

I only use light weight backdrops because the legs don't lock in place now. I have to use painters tape to hold them.

I did not bother removing wrinkles as I strip off the background anyway. I do have a problem of green tinge on the outlines of my subject sometimes making the garments reflect the green tinge

Most muslin backdrops have a pocket for the crossbar to go through, Paper drops have a cardboard core. If you have a muslin with no pocket you can have one sewn in or use some background hanging clips with rings. JTL and Promaster make some that would work nicely do an Amazon search, both brands are available

I use a painter's drop cloth from the hardware store. It's not cheap, but it lasts forever, doesn't get slimy, and you can even use vinegar or bleach if it mildews.

You can just steam them out...or better yet, I store these backdrops bunched up...and honestly, the random wrinkles add to the character of the background.

They are fabric (thicker than a sheet) you might need to throw it in the dryer before the first use to get the wrinkles out :)

You would have to put a piece of foam or larger diameter round tube over the bottom bar. The bottom bar is a heavy wire and I don't think that it will prevent a wrinkle. I hang mine from heavy skirt hangers.

I usually use hot water and Dawn detergent. You could use bleach on the inside but I personally would worry about discoloring the fabric on the outside with bleach

My experience: If you hit it with plenty of light the wrinkles won't show. You want a high key, completely white background anyway. So expose high enough or you might have some extra work in Photoshop.

There is an attachment that I used once and it did take the wrinkles out. Good luck!!!
