Savage 58 Studio Blue Overview

Photograph people and products against a smooth, uncluttered background with this 26" x 36' roll of #58 Studio Blue 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.
Designed for Chroma Keying
If you want to create a green or blue screen you will want #46 Tech Green or #58 Studio Blue, respectively. Both of these colors are optimized for chroma key work. Using paper makes it easy to ensure a clean background for smooth post-production workflows.
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.

What's the difference between super white and ...

What's the difference between super white and pure white? Which one is whiter? Needed for product shots for a website.
Asked by: Risa
According to Savage Universal, Savage Seamless Paper has three different white shades available: #01 Super White, #66 Pure White and #50 White. Super White contains UV brighteners and is popularly used for product photography. Choose Super White to easily achieve an absolute white color using backlights. Pure White is a great all-around white with a neutral tone. This color is great for anything from headshots and portraits to product photos. Works well with or without backlights. White is a much warmer white tone compared to Super White and Pure White, and tends to complement skin tones well. This is ideal for headshots or portraits where absolute white is not needed as it delivers more of an “off-white” look.

question

what size would be a good size for it to be a background and a floor drop?
Asked by: Anonymous
Generally, if you need the subject to stand on the paper so that it would cover them from head to toe, that would be based on their height. However, most people choose a 107 wide option as that covers most subject with an average height up to 6 ft. An example of such is Savage Widetone Seamless Background Paper (#58 Studio Blue, 107 x 36') ,B&H # SABGP10758.

question

What it says Core Wound does that mean there is tube so this can go on a support rail?
Asked by: Anonymous
This roll of paper would come with a heavy cardboard core where a crossbar can be inserted into it for attachment to a background support. It can also be connected to manual or motorized background supports which expand at either end of the core. Please see the images below for reference to those.
