Savage 17 Sienna Overview

Photograph people and products against a smooth, uncluttered background with this 53" x 36' roll of #17 Sienna Seamless Background Paper from Savage. To facilitate even lighting, the surface of the paper is non-reflective and has a fine-tooth finish. In addition to photography, the paper may be used for events, decorations, banners, and more.

The paper density is 145 gsm and it has an easy-to-handle resilient thickness. For mounting on many standard background stands, it comes wound on a core with a 2.125" interior diameter. A plastic sleeve protects the roll in transit and can be saved to provide continued protection when the paper is not in use. The paper should be stored vertically to reduce the possibility of warping and other damage. Photographers often use clamps to secure the paper to a backdrop stand as well as tape to secure the paper to the floor if rolled out for full-body shots. The paper is lignin- and acid-free, pH neutral, and 100% recyclable.
Choosing the Right Width
When purchasing a roll of background paper, you will need to determine the best size for your subject and space. Most colors are available in a range of widths and lengths though staples, like black and white, are available in even more options. Here is a general guide to choosing the right size:
  • 26" - This compact size can be used for smaller subjects, such as tabletop product photography or portraits of children. It can also be used for tight headshots with careful framing.
  • 53" - A medium size, this is suitable for up to full-length portraits of a single individual and larger objects.
  • 86" - Create images with multiple people (up to three) or very large objects.
  • 107" - The largest option for many colors, this width is great for group portraits or families with room for around four people or very large objects.
  • 140" - Available for #01 Super White, #20 Black, #46 Tech Green, and #70 Storm Gray, the largest size can fit up to six people at a time for larger group photos and can be used with very large objects.
Depending on your own space and capabilities, you should consider your paper size carefully. Wider and longer rolls are heavier and can be more difficult to work with though they bring advantages to ensuring a filled background.

Perfect Green

The perfect dark green for fall and winter

Paper is standard, implementation has issues

It's standard white seamless. The issue is that the paper came detached from the core. The core just slides out. Whatever adhesive they use isn't working. So you can't roll it up easily or put it back in box easily. For what this costs, and the cost of shipping, it's trash as is.

Awesome

I used this for a halloween pet photoshoot throughout October. The dark gray is nice because, with lighting angles, you are able to darken it/lighten the background for a desired contrast against your subject.

Nice, neutral color

I am a photographer at an E-commerce photo studio, we've been ordering this Savage Widetone Super White Seamless for years now, and recently they switched from shrink wrapping the roll to just putting the roll in a box. The paper now just detaches from the cardboard core, making the entire roll pretty much un-useable. Not sure if this has something to do with how B&H stores the rolls, or how Savage manufactures the rolls, possibly moisture making the adhesive fail? B&H has replaced a few times now at no charge but still continues to send rolls that are detached and unuseable. Frustrating. Do not buy!!
