If you are wondering why our BackDrops/BackGrounds are so sharp it's because we use a new digital / photography process and special digital enhancements that we developed. Our scenes are about 50 times sharper than normal film blown up for printing. Our backdrops are NOT a slide blown up. A 36 ft scene from BackDrop Warehouse has about the same sharpness over the entire length as a conventional slide projected to less than a foot square. Our scenes may vary slightly due to location, weather, haze, lighting, etc., but all are extraordinary sharp for the size.  You won't find our quality with any other backdrop manufacturer.  If you want a quality backdrop, you are at the right place.

Very important information - SCALE  

  Super Media at 12 mils, is a latex saturated, nylon reinforced paper. Almost indestructible. No cracks, No waves, No wrinkles, No scratches, and water resistant. >>click here for more info.<<   It feels a little like thin leather. We have used this media on scenes for over two years and many thousands of scenes without a problem. This media is very expensive so there is a $10/scene charge for super media.

Standard media (6 mils, not water resistant, not nylon reinforced) has no additional charge. Both are shipped in a 4 inch diameter round tube.  For installation instructions   (click here). 

  BackDrops are higher resolution than BackGrounds (600 print dots/inch and 6 ink vs 300 dots/inch and 4 ink colors). If you are standing more than a foot away, it may be hard to tell the difference. Although BackDrops may be 10 times sharper than BackGrounds, whether you can tell the difference depends on the scene and the viewing distance. BackDrops are impressive!There is no difference in color hue or color intensity but BackDrops may have more color detail. BackDrops come in all sizes.  BackDrops can have clouds moved down for trimming vertical size.  BackDrops are more important for Z and N scale.  more info

BackGrounds need to be viewed from 12 inches or more. For most layouts this is quite adequate. BackGrounds are our most common print and come in all sizes.

AOL

We have tried to make this site AOL friendly, however, sometimes AOL wont work. This is a problem with the way AOL handles images. Please try later, call AOL, or use Netscape or Internet Explorer.  WebTV might also have problems especially with ModelMart.

Modifications we can do limited modifications like lowering a scene to remove a river on a few scenes - BackDrops only.

 Shelf layout  If you have a shelf layout down about 12 inch from ceiling, you might consider the scenes designed for this purpose 11.25 in. x 36 ft. There is one or two in most scene categories and is shown as 3 on a panel.  You have to look for them but they look different than the rest. Also available as 13 in. x 36 ft and priced as a 42 in x 12 ft.

To identify each scene before installation, you can use the label on each scene which has the stock number or next to the label will be a number which is your invoice number and a letter A - H (A first on left) as you placed the order and matches to the invoice letters on invoice left. Example on the scene will be 04930202A, this is your invoice # and the first one on the left.

 Higher than 36 in.   We can add sky and clouds above the BackGround /BackDrop. Added height  (click here) 

 Longer than 12 ft. ...Although each stock backdrop or background has a maximum printed length of 12 ft. (160 in.), many are only a section of a larger scene. Look for -A, -B, -C on the BackGround stock number to indicate the section; -A left most, -C right most. There is a 3 inch overlap between sections. Buy all 3 for a 36 ft. scene. 3 ..10 ft. scenes will not be a continuous scene, the -B must be 12 ft (exception 18 in. N scale).

We need your help in selecting the type of background scenes to photograph.
