In general vinyl will be a heavier weight than our paper backdrops. But muslin is inexpensive compared to other popular backdrop options including canvas. Vinyl vs fabric backdrops. Vinyl banner displays utilize either screen printing or digital printing on a wide format digital printer.

Muslin is also a non reflective fabric. Vinyl has a rubber like texture making it much smoother. Oh my print solutions specializes and recommends polyester fabric banners quite a bit as we feel they are of higher quality classier and easy to transport.

At backdrop express our selection of vinyl backgrounds come with a non reflective matte finish and are easily cleaned with a damp sponge. You can photograph the vinyl side the canvas side or get creative and paint the backdrop into whatever you can dream up. On the other hand the surface of vinyl is slightly glossy so it has a bit of shine.

The most obvious difference between canvas and vinyl tarps is the look and feel of each material. Stretching the vinyl on the mounting allows for the image to present well.
