Yes
Have always bought Colorama rolls, but Creativity seems to offer the same but at about a tenner cheaper for a 2.72 x 11 metre paper roll. I'm looking at the Riviera blue for a pre-school xmas shoot, and both brands have this available so I'm wondering will I notice a difference?

Is the cheaper product more prone to creases/rips/fades/anything else?
 
I cannot help with comparing them as I have only used the Creativity paper, but I will say that they are wonderfully helpful, their delivery is cheap and the paper seems to be good to me !
 
I've bought several from them, mate. One roll had a real problem, but they replaced it AND refunded me. Great customer service.

Guys thank you very much for this, sounds like I won't miss using the more expensive Colorama?
 
Sky blue background from Creativity arrived. Tried to compare it to the colorama grey and white I have at the same size and I think the Creativity has a slightly less gsm than the Colorama, but find it really hard to tell by looking at the actual paper however when you pick the rolls up the Colorama is just heavier by a touch. Could be that the cardboard tube in the Colorama is more substantial? Who knows. Did a quick test shot and what can I say it does the job.

Model = ugly and mad so please ignore him (me!).

And you barely know me..... :D I find it very hard to just sit there and smile pleasantly so always feel the need to do something stupid.

No probs.
 
I fear that I know you enough already !

I am also very glad that I am not the only one who cannot smile pleasantly so ends up doing something stupid.
I felt that way on my wedding day I seem to remember..
