    This backdrop is precisely as advertised.
    I use this backdrop in my studio more often than any other backdrop I own.
    The material is paper - but robust. Heavy use and zero rips or tears.
    For the price I have no qualms if it gets dirty or (on the off-chance) torn, I can easily replace it.
    The fact that it's 12 yards ensures multiple uses out of it, and the width is perfect for single or small group portraits.
    The shade is VERY flattering for portraits, helps even but distinct skin tones and really lets tee-shirts pop out for commercial photography.

    Only thing that's not so great - It's not vinyl. It can get creased if it falls rapidly or if mishandled. Requires a *little* bit of babying, but honestly not much. Very robust for a paper product.

    The paper was the color I expected and is good in thickness. [...]The only thing was that on one end of the paper there was a tear about a foot from the edge and about two feet up the paper. Not that big of a deal when you consider it has 12 yrds, but still just a little disappointed about the tear.

      Very happy with the product. Not too heavy but sturdy paper that is great quality. I lost the first couple feet due to tear, which seems to be a common complaint with this product. Definitely recommend, however.

            This gray is so versatile. Light it and it's so soft and pale. Don't light it and it becomes a rich charcoal. Every portrait session I do involves this paper.

                Typically I shoot with Thunder Gray, but decided to go with Fashion Gray, which is much lighter then the image posted.
                Nice soft gray, that can also be used in place of a white seamless

                      I use this seamless paper on location to create a fashion grey sweep. What I like most about is that depending on: how far the subject is away from the background, lighting, shutter speed, it can go from an off white all the way to black. Only complaint I have is that it was ripped around the sides through several layers when I received it and took 10 minutes to unpack and fix. (Embarrassing at a client location)

                      All quality control / inspection issues aside, great product, great price.

                            This is a beautiful color and quality paper. Absolutely thrilled with the test shots I took today.

                            Disappointed however that the roll came with about 2 1/2 feet of ripped paper at the end. That doesn't sound like a lot but when I am only getting 12 ft losing more than 2 is a big deal.

                            Other than that I am super happy with this paper.

                                      This is the best color to use on a fashion shoot makes colors like green and pink pop really well.

                                        This backdrop is precisely as advertised.
                                        I use this backdrop in my studio more often than any other backdrop I own.
                                        The material is paper - but robust. Heavy use and zero rips or tears.
                                        For the price I have no qualms if it gets dirty or (on the off-chance) torn, I can easily replace it.
                                        The fact that it's 12 yards ensures multiple uses out of it, and the width is perfect for single or small group portraits.
                                        The shade is VERY flattering for portraits, helps even but distinct skin tones and really lets tee-shirts pop out for commercial photography.

                                        Only thing that's not so great - It's not vinyl. It can get creased if it falls rapidly or if mishandled. Requires a *little* bit of babying, but honestly not much. Very robust for a paper product.

                                              I have only used this for one session. We loved it! It has a nice even color. It was already torn about a foot or so into the paper? Others have mentioned this as well, not sure what Savage's problem is, and why they can't package this without tearing it?? Oh well, we just taped it up, and you never see it anyway, unless you shoot from the edge at a real low angle, which we did not. Other wise, it worked out well, and would not hesitate to use more of their products!
