Back drop for photographing beads?

[Astrid Riedel]

Where can I purchase the graded back drop for photographing?

My second question, has anybody ever succesfully printed out their own gradiated back ground, as mine always shows bands?

I have a Canon ix4000 inkjet printer.

Thanks Astrid

Save the image on a memory card and take it to a photo kiosk (or upload to a place like kodak.com) and print it like a photo. No bands.

I found that if I run the paper through the printer twice I got a much better printout of the back drop papers, especially when I use the photo paper.

Adjust your printer to print at the highest resolution and when you create the gradient, make sure you aren't making it at 72 pixels.

I make mine at 600.

Where do they have that background to print out.

[shawnette]

Google it. (Gradient)

Or you can make your own.

Thankyou Shawnette
