Draper Projector Screen Information

Textile Backed Screen Surfaces

In this group, the reflective surface is laminated to a woven textile base. The screen surface hangs suitably flat because of the stability of the material and the weight of the bottom dowel. Good for all types of projection. Commonly used for single lens video projection, as well as for CRT video and data-graphics projection.

Screen Material	Benefit
Matte White	A matte white surface diffuses projected light in all directions, so image can be seen from any angle. Provides accurate color rendition as well as superior clarity. Recommended for use with all high light output projection devices. Requires control of ambient light in the audience area. Washable, flame and mildew resistant. Seamless in virtually all standard sizes. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. Sponge the surface, rinse with clear water and blot dry. Do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives.
Glass Beaded	Spherical glass beads embedded in surface provide brighter on-axis viewing than matt white, within a narrower viewing cone. Glass beaded surfaces have some loss of clarity and perform best with table-mounted projectors. Flame and mildew resistant; cannot be cleaned. Seamless in standard sizes through 10� high. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a very soft brush or cloth and carefully dust the surface. Do not use soap, water, solvents or abrasives.
High Contrast Grey	Grey, textile-backed surface offers excellent resolution while enhancing the blacks of LCD and DLP projected images, even as whites and lighter colors are maintained. Performs well in ambient light. Lower gain of 0.8 allows use with even the brightest projectors. Available on most non-tensioned motorized and manual screens, seamless in sizes through 8' high. Viewing cone of 180�. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. Sponge the surface, rinse with clear water and blot dry. Do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives.
AT1200	The most innovative and versatile acoustically transparent screen material. Similar in gain performance to Matt White and does not require tensioning for flatness. Acoustical properties comparable to the finest speaker grille cloth. Washable, flame and mildew resistant. Available in sizes through 72" x 96" or 10' diagonal. Not recommended for screens smaller than 80" wide when used with LCD or DLP projectors. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. Sponge the surface; rinse with clear water and blot dry. Allow screen to air dry overnight in down position. Do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives.
AT Grey	Offers the acoustical properties of our popular AT1200, while providing the best optical qualities of both Matt White and High Contrast Grey. It is unique in that it offers both a 180� viewing cone and the vivid color contrast associated with high contrast grey materials. Washable, flame and mildew resistant. Gain of 0.8. Available in sizes through 72" x 96" or 10' diagonal. Not recommended for screens smaller than 80" wide when used with LCD or DLP projectors. (Not available on screens less than 80" wide.) Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. Sponge the surface, rinse with clear water and blot dry. Allow screen to air dry overnight in down position. Do not use cleaning solvents or abrasives.

100% Vinyl Screen Materials

These screen surfaces are tensioned vinyl with no backing. Draper offers these surfaces on motorized, crank-operated and permanently tensioned screens with built-in tensioning systems. The surface is stretched perfectly flat, resulting in better picture quality. Flatness is always desirable, particularly for video or data-graphics projection.

Screen Material	Benefit
HiDef Grey	A grey front projection surface that provides excellent contrast and black reproduction, with a low gain to handle today's super-bright projectors. The grey color enhances color contrast, black levels and allows for more ambient light in the audience area. Available in sizes through 9' x 9', or 9' high in greater widths. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. ARMOR ALL� Multi- Purpose Cleaner may also be used. Remove stubborn stains with a solution of rubbing alcohol and water. Do not allow any cleaners to be absorbed by the fabric. Do not use cleaners which contain abrasives or wax.
M1300	The perfect matt white diffusing surface. Extremely broad light dispersion and spectral uniformity. Panoramic viewing angle and true color rendition. Recommended for use with any type of projector in rooms where the light level can be reasonably controlled. Washable. Care and Maintenance: Clean surface with a solution of mild dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water. ARMOR ALL� Multi- Purpose Cleaner may also be used. Remove stubborn stains with a solution of rubbing alcohol and water. Do not allow any cleaners to be absorbed by the fabric. Do not use cleaners which contain abrasives or wax.
M2500	A high-contrast front viewing surface, with excellent resolution and high gain. For data-graphics projectors producing through 1000 ANSI lumens. M2500 tolerates a higher ambient light level than most other front projection screen surfaces. Care and Maintenance: Clean with a very soft brush or cloth and carefully dust the surface. Do not use soap, water, solvents or abrasives.
Cineflex	A neutral grey vinyl for rear projection. Cineflex has high resolution and excellent contrast, even in lighted rooms. For use with any type of projection equipment. Care and Maintenance: Gently clean this rear projection material with a diluted solution of mild dishwashing liquid and warm water. ARMOR ALL� Multi-Purpose Cleaner may also be used. It is best to lay the surface flat during cleaning. Do not use cleaners which contain abrasives or wax.
Flexible Matt White	Pliable matt white material for use in our portable folding screens. It can be stretched, folded and restretched repeatedly without damage. Flexible matt white is an excellent matt white material with a gain of 1.0 and a viewing cone of 180°.
