This 20-pack of 2" x 55 yd roll of chroma green Gaffer Tape from Savage is a staple of any movie set or studio, and although called an expendable, it's an absolute essential. The tape has a cloth backing and polyethylene coating that's heat-resistant to 175° Fahrenheit for up to three hours. The combination of blended resin and natural rubber compound allows for strong adherence with no residue upon removal. Among its many uses are safely taping down cable on the floor, securing seamless paper rolls, and creating foam core constructions or any kind of temporary mounting in graphic arts.

Q: 9. Has anybody noticed any Moire issues with this backdrop? I have a D800/E and I suspect it might cause moire.

A: With a plain paper or vinyl surface, there should be no moire issues with the Nikon 800E. It could very well have issues if the material was muslin. That being said, the 800E is a very specific use camera and moire can easily show up in repeat pattern surfaces and often surprising places as you know. In the end, it is our opinion that this vinyl background should not cause moire issues with the Nikon 800E.

Q: 10. It would be helpful to know which greenscreen products (Angler, etc) for which this tape matches BEST?

A: The tape color can vary from the background and will still work.
