Canvas vs vinyl backdrop.

In general vinyl will be a heavier weight than our paper backdrops. Stretching the vinyl on the mounting allows for the image to present well. The vinyl finish on the back of every canvas also offers more versatility with your backdrop. Vinyl banner displays utilize either screen printing or digital printing on a wide format digital printer.

A common question is whether to order a vinyl or fabric banner or backdrop what the pros and cons of each. Similar to canvas you need to stretch them to eliminate folds. Vinyl comes in a variety of weights the most common weights are 13 oz 15 oz and 18 oz. Vinyl has a rubber like texture making it much smoother.

But muslin is inexpensive compared to other popular backdrop options including canvas. The most obvious difference between canvas and vinyl tarps is the look and feel of each material. Our 2 75m x 6 09m vinyl backdrop which is most comparable to that paper size weighs about 29 lbs. The flash of a camera or the shine of the spotlight will not reflect off of a muslin backdrop and distract from the models or actors on set.

Vinyl backgrounds are durable and tough providing a wrinkle free glare free photography background. The heavier the weight the more durable the banner. You can photograph the vinyl side the canvas side or get creative and paint the backdrop into whatever you can dream up. Vinyl backdrops vary in size.

A high quality backdrop does not come cheap. At backdrop express our selection of vinyl backgrounds come with a non reflective matte finish and are easily cleaned with a damp sponge. The canvas comes standard with glare free cloth perfect for studio photography whether in the garage or a penthouse. Muslin is also a non reflective fabric.
