[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 353410, member: 12496"] The very best black you can get for this background is velvet. Get a yard of the better "dress velvet" at the fabric store. It does not reflect light. Probably 60 inches wide, and maybe $17 a yard as I recall? There are less expensive substitutes, but you only need a yard, get the best stuff. Most black cloth or paper does not appear very black when photographed up close. Velvet black will take your breath away. :) [/QUOTE]
