Using Projection Paint

Projection paint vs projection screens.

Lets face it, if you are after the best possible image quality and no possible imperfection, go for a dedicated projection screen with a projection surface selected for your particular application. More about this in another blog.

Does this means 'Projection Paint' can not give us perfect images?

No, Projection Paint can do all this as well, but since the quality depends very much on the surface preparation and the quality of the application, imperfections may be possible.

So why Projection Paint?
This is specially formulated paint, which has optical brightener included, designed to reflect the projected light. Even the dark, charcoal like, paint reflects light and works well in brightly lit rooms. In fact the dark base, absorbs ambient light and makes the image perform better, than most projection screens, often even better than ALR screens.

Creativity and artistic value. Projection paint can be applied to a multitude of surfaces. Often without primer or undercoat, even that we may suggest its use. Projection Paint can convert all sorts of spaces into a projection area, including ceilings, floors, doors, objects, etc..... Best of all, if the application changes just paint over with normal paint.

Cost: Projection Paint is cheaper per sim, than frames or motorized projection screens. a 1 ltd. bottle can cover as much as 6 sum if an undercoat is used, which reduces the absorption of the paint.

Where can I use it? Our projection paint works like a 'plastic' coating and can be applied to almost anything, such as timber, plaster, concrete, plastic, etc.. We used it on plastic bottles without any undercoat and even on fabric.

What about the performance?
Our projection paint works with any type of projector. The illumination is relatively uniform, though some hoy spotting may be observed with certain projectors, which have centre weighted illumination.

The paint can be used for single and multi-screen applications.

What about safety and clean up?
Our paint is water soluble. There are no dangerous fumes and it can easily be used in closed rooms. Cleanup is simple water.
