Betty -- Yes, you will definitely see the color. However, please be aware that the recycle time on the Backlight Strobe is slow -- about 3 seconds between charges. If you're shooting people you will find this frustrating. If you're shooting products, not so much.

I would not buy the Cowboystudio Backlight Strobe Flash Studio Photography Kit. It was broken when I received it. I sent it back for another and it came broken too. Stay away fro the kit.

I have a white muslin and I don't care for the light that it emits onto it. You can see it, but not in a flattering way. It might look different on vinyl, I'm not sure. Believe it or not the color (blue) actually looks pretty nice on my black muslin, but the other 3 colors are something to be desired in my humble opinion. You may get a complete different result with vinyl. Good luck.

Combining the same colors from this kit or other colors? I saw no difference in sheen between theses and other DMC colors.

These light modification components are made specifically for a speedlight, I don't know how they can be used on a studio light. It's an interesting question, perhaps w/ some creativity it's possible...A.D.

If the question is about the Cowboy Studio set ... skip it. (See my negative review.) I had to return it twice and bought the STEVE KAESER PBL lighting through Amazon. Excellent. Yes, fluorescent, daylight bulbs are the way to go. (Four bulbs per unit set, therefore 8 bulbs total, all individually switched.) Your Nikon will have a fluorescent compensation mode, but you may find that just normal settings will work well too. Be cautious with your choice of lens. A "standard" lens may still have a slight 'wide-angle' component so that the straight line edges of your 2D frames may not be exactly perpendicular. Good luck.

Just make sure that you are not using a flash trigger. It will now fit with a flash trigger. If you need to use one, check the Cowboy Studio version.

Your camera has to be on full Manual setting (M) if that is a feature. Set the flash function on your camera to "On" but it must be in the Manual setting (M) for the CowboyStudio built-in photo slave to work . Set the switch of the back of your photo light to the setting that show the icon "a zig zag arrow" pointing down. I believe that is the setting for "studio flash" mode."

I have the 24x36 version and it only fits on studio strobes, not continuous lights. The Speedring in the kit fits on to the head of the strobe and screws down. I'm not sure what other brands of strobes this will fit on, but it works well with the cowboy studio 400w strobe.

I have not purchased white before; but it might be that white on a background of white does not photograph well so it appears gray.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm just begenning and the only backdrop I have is a blue one and I want to try this digital backgrounds collection to see how it works out for me. How has it worked for you?

There are actually (3) different types of RGB tape that you need to know about before making a decision. The traditional RGB tape only includes those hues of color (Red, Green, Blue) so any white light will have a tint of either blue or other. In order to get true white color you will need to look at either the RGBW or RGBWW light tape strips. The RGBW includes a standard white LED so the white color will truly be white. The RGBWW is an even nicer white light that more pure and natural so depending on what type of white light you're trying to achieve hopefully this helps you out. Additionally the SUPERNIGHT product listing page has these variants and they're all relatively priced the same. Good luck!

Yeah. In fact, I ordered both, and the CowboyStudio NPT-04 trigger and receiver is the identical item for twice the price. Literally identical. They both have the same model number NPT-04, only they have different brand names stamped on the devices. I think these things are just all mass produced in some factory in China and different companies buy it from that factory and put their own label on it and charge whatever high price they think people will pay. The sad part for everyone (including myself because I bought the CowboyStudio thing before I discovered this) is that the CowboyStudio item is at a higher sales rank, even though it's the exact same thing for twice the price!!!

I use the color checker for everything from macro ring lights. Studio lighting, etc and combinations of any two sources. There's no way of knowing accurate colors otherwise. I see huge differences - to me.

Amazon is listing this item as "unavailable" so your question may be moot. I purchased an earlier version of this item about two years ago. I returned it because its contrast, while good for graphics, was too great for continuous-tone photographs I wanted do show. I see a newer version is posted by Amazon and the description of that new version specifically notes "For Business Presentations & Personal Media Sharing."

If the background is not in color, then something is wrong and it should be returned. I returned my first one because of skipping problems and the next one was fine.

I did not get a background for mine. But if you have one just tape it on the back with a clear double sided tape.

It only prints color based on tape. Most common is black print on white background but you can get different Tz tapes. If you are looking for multicolor this does not do that
