Can you safely iron the backdrops?

All I can tell you is I hung them up in the bathroom during showers and the eventually flattened out.

Yes, you can iron them. After multiple strategies, I put my iron on a fairly high heat setting directly onto the backdrops and have had zero burning.

After I hang the backdrop, I lightly spray it with water and smooth with my hand an d wrinkles fall out easily.

Absolutely! As long as the backdrop you purchase stipulates having a pocket sewn at the top of the fabric so that the backdrop can be slid onto the crossbar of the backdrop support as intended. (It seems most do have the pocket, but it wouldn't hurt to verify for sure). Also, the width of the backdrop you choose to hang is up to you, just be sure not to exceed the width of the stand by much, although some gathering can be a beneficial effect. Obviously the length of the muslin etc.. has no bearing, that is completely up to you and the amount of room you have. Enjoy Deb! :o)

I think an iron might melt the material. Maybe a steamer would work. I personally didn't see the wrinkles while watching a movie.

Yes i would think so no problem. i have had three 10 x 20 muslin backdrops on at the same time. They're very adjustable & well made

No, but there are other ways to do this, usually involving a steam iron - you can find some ideas on DIY websites.

To get past the "horribly wrinkled" stage, soak in water, wring or blot and then hang it up. Most irons have a low setting that works well for the finishing touches. When on vacation, I am usually satisfied with rinse-and-wear.

Not sure, Gary. I expect you could try to iron it on a moderate setting. I have had it for 6 months and it makes me happy every day!

YES YOU CAN!!! Google it online and you will find numerous websites giving directions on how to use an iron. Make sure you iron on a hard surface to avoid wrinkles and bubbles!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWhLZ5HtaM0http://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-laminate-with-an-iron#b

You can just steam them out...or better yet, I store these backdrops bunched up...and honestly, the random wrinkles add to the character of the background.

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting!

Ooooo I usually spray (not steam) my backdrop with water once I get it up and I instantly start seeing the wrinkles smooth out. You would want to do this at least a 30min to a hour before your shoot to give it an ample amount of time to dry before you start shooting though. Once dry - it's perfect!

I never ironed it, the humidity fixed the creases but I'm sure you could on low heat

I haven't used them on fabric. My sons have gotten the ink on their clothes and it has washed out, but not sure if ironing would set it. They aren't made for that use, so I'd test on scrap fabric first.

The backdrop is a separate item that you can attach or not. I personally screwed my backdrop on. I really love this heater!

Yes you can! The nice thing is that you won't have to iron them because they don't seem to wrinkle.

Unfortunately, no. They aren't too bad after coming out of the driver but you can iron them if you want to get rid of all wrinkles.
