Jon,

You could try giving Paddy Barker from BarkerPhotographic a call in the morning. You’ll always get good honest advice from him.

None of them are really durable as shoe marks etc will ruin the paper so you will probably only get one or two shoots on each pull of the paper. I’d get the cheapest one you can and also get yourself some white ductape so you can repair small tears withough having to pull out more paper.

Meant to ask what are usually the best colour backgrounds to go for? Take black and white but is the a colour which you’d recommend for potrait/studio work
Thanks again
