Injet Photopaper for Screens

[Psionic]

A while back when I was farting around with the 100" TV projector ebay thing, i was trying all different types of materials for screens, and I found that inkjet photopaper was awesome for it. Didn't really put too much thought into it though, cause the paper was only 8.5 x 11

But I just got the idea of using glossy plotter paper instead of that standard stuff. I checked ebay, and voila:

Those rolls are 3 feet by 100 feet. So Im going to buy that roll of that.

Im going to cut 2 pieces each 10 feet long, and mount them one on top of eachother on my wall. If I am careful, the seam will be virtually invisible when an image is projected on it.

It won't be any glass-beaded screen, but im sure it will be awesome.

Anybody agree? disagree?

I tryed something like that. It worked until a humid day, when the paper curled.

Wow... Great deal! That paper is not cheap... If you get a paper cutter you can make sheets to print pictures with to... Im sure you will have alot left over 😀. I would love to see pictures of your results. Now are you doing this with a 100" bigscreen ebay special, or a diy lcd projector.

Yes. I say glue it directly to a piece of wood or somthing like that.

Maybe consider a surface treatment so it might be wiped clean?
