Comparing White Seamless Paper Backdrops

There are 3 white seamless paper backdrops available: Super White, Pure White & White. The “white” color is the warmest tone of the 3 while “pure white” and “super white” are a completely neutral tone with the difference being the “super white” has UV brighteners added and slightly more fine texture.

Pure White Seamless

• Best all-around white, neutral tone
• Great for anything from headshots and portraits to product photos
• Works great with or without backlights

Super White Seamless

• Perfect for product shots & full length subjects
• Available in wider widths, up to 140″
• Works great to bounce light
• UV Brighteners
• Best for achieving absolute white, using backlights
• In some circumstances without using backlights and when there is more distance between the model and backdrop, Super White paper may get a bluish cast.
• Super White has a higher basis weight than other paper colors. This causes a stiffer, slightly thicker sheet of paper. 

White Seamless

• Great for headshots or portraits where absolute white is not needed
• Warm white tone works better with skin tones
• More flexibility for “off-white” look
