anyone tried the cheap chinese vinyl backdrops

[ditonics]

Hii all,

I keep looking at the cheap Chinese computer printed vinyl backdrops on certain popular auction sites and wondering if they are worth it.
Some of the designs look appealing in the adverts and if they only survive light use that fine with me for the price.

Thanks

I have, they were heavily creased when they arrived. I tried to iron the creases out. My advice? Don't try and iron the creases out

Other than ironing (Doh!) did you manage to get the creases out to a point where they were usable?

They never came completely out, wife put a damp towel over them then ironed them which worked wonders for the melting problem. What creases were left were barely visible and could easily easily be cloned out which I didn't bother with as I was just mucking about. Overall I'm happy with them, as they were cheap as chips.

Mine came on a cardboard tube and no problems at all.

Any links to who/where you bought it from?

Thanks
