FAQ's
General Product Questions
Where can High Contrast Projector Screen Paint be used?
Opt for High Contrast Projector Screen Paint for gaming, films, home cinema screens, or high contrast projections.
What surfaces are appropriate for the application of High Contrast Projector Screen Paint?
High Contrast Projector Screen Paint can be applied to smooth surfaces such as plaster, drywall, wood, metal, concrete, and composite materials. It is suitable for application on fixed fabric surfaces and for refurbishing old screens. It is not advised for roll-up screens. It is intended for indoor use only.
Application & Usage
Is High Contrast Projector Screen Paint effective for both 2D and 3D projectors?
Our complete range of paints works well with both 2D and 3D projectors, ensuring optimal results regardless of the projection type. When projecting a 3D image onto Smarter Surfaces paint, it effectively produces the desired effect, providing an immersive viewing experience when used with 3D glasses.
Surface Prep & Priming
Do I need to prepare the surface with primer before using High Contrast Projector Screen Paint?
Yes, it is advisable to apply High Contrast Projector Screen Paint on a surface that has already been primed or painted. For untreated and bare surfaces, use one coat of White Primer.
Functionality & Performance
Does the High Contrast Projector Screen Paint support blended projections?
Blending projections is commonly used in installations and presentations to create seamless visuals. Smarter Surfaces projector screen paint supports smooth blending on a single surface. It ensures accurate colour, consistent brightness, and clean image transitions for an immersive display, while eliminating the need for bulky, costly screens. For High Contrast Projector Screen Paint, we suggest utilizing low ambient lighting.
What Makes High Contrast Projector Screen Paint ‘Polarity Preserving’?
3D projectors function by displaying two slightly different images that overlap on the screen. These images are processed through specialized optical filters, resulting in the light being polarized differently for each projection. When you observe the two images through special 3D glasses, each lens blocks one of the images, allowing your left eye to perceive one image while your right eye sees the other.
Thus, the projection screen utilized mustn't alter the polarity of the light when employing a 3D projector. All of Smarter Surfaces paint products are "polarity preserving," meaning that the image you view will maintain the exact polarity as intended, thereby preserving the complete 3D experience.
Why Are High Contrast Projection Paints Acoustically Transparent?
The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) measures how much sound a material absorbs. Tests on a 12mm gypsum board showed identical results for both unpainted and painted surfaces (α = 0.04–0.07), with slight variations depending on sound frequency. This confirms that Smarter Surfaces paints are acoustically transparent, as they do not affect sound absorption.
