what is the best way to get the creases out of the backdrops?

Depending on the material, you could probably just iron/steam it. Some back drops are just a cotton sheet. Hope that helps!

Take them to be steamed at a dry cleaners.. get them pressed then roll them, and store them rolled..

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!

If u fold it they dont come out without iron or steaming. I've learned through other photographers that theres less wrinkles if you roll it up. However i find that due to color it's hardly noticeable. Good backdrop.

I don't see why you couldn't use paper backdrops. The frame is sturdy enough to hold up very thick sheets. Just remember to purchase clamps which are sold separately.

Use a light grit sand paper, and give it a light sanding till the black is gone. Then wipe down with damp cloth to remove dust. Coat with vegetable oil, and wipe with paper towel to remove excess. Hope this helps.

They were easy to iron; however, I did use spray starch to make the creases come out easier. Use a cool iron.

Sure. I've used Xmas paper for backdrops and just used grips/clamps to hold the paper in place. It has a round bar across so the backdrop gets put on like a curtain would if your using cloth backdrops otherwise a good set of grips/clamps works wonders. I love mine!

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the question. If there are soiled spots or finger prints use a foam cleaner or fabric cleaner like Woolite or scotch guard, taking a damp sponge clean gently from side to side, not up and down. Be careful not to crush or crease the shade. Also, if it's minor cleaning, a hand-held vacuum should be useful, as well as regular dusting. This will help ensure long-lasting cleanliness of the fabric. We hope this helps Kathleen!

Thats left up to you I anchored my backdrop like a curtain I measured and tape the top of bdrop slid on the rods like a curtain it held well w/o any problems no buckling or folding you can probably use scotch clear shipping tape to anchor itdown it peels off easily w/o any damage

Use a steamer. Or buy a spray bottle, put filtered water in it, spray the wrinkles. Make sure you have the sheet weighted down and pulled tight in all directions.

I actually usef sand paper sheets but have to punch holes in it. My suggestion use the finest screen with light pressure for the first coat. And get better at appling mud and avoid alot of sanding. Also try a sanding sponge with water.

Yes. In fact, to get the fold creases out, I lightly ironed it with a steam iron and that worked well. I LOVE this curtain and in the future will buy other Deny Designs so I can switch them out seasonally, or at a whim.

Effortlessly press pants and shirts - probably. You will have to take care with men's suit coats so you don't just press them flat and take the roll out of the lapel. With practice you won't introduce unwanted creases.

I use a very soft linen cloth. Something like a tea towel. I ever so lightly moisted it with water and that usually does the trick.

Just an opinion, mind you, but wouldn't you rather have something less reflective (more of a mat finish)? Most likely it would work but the creases stand out for quite a while. If you leave it hanging they will eventually come out but won't be like a piece of canvas. Food for thought anyway.

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 used a piece of tape. If your tape bleeds too much light, put a piece of foil in between. Easy enough
