This black projector screen paint enhances contrast and black levels in low ambient light environments. It gives a superior viewing experience with a high-performance projector.

FAQ's

Once applied to your wall by roller or spray, our Smart Black Projector Screen Paint is ready for use as a projection surface once fully dry this takes 24 hours. Simply set up your projector as needed and aim towards the painted wall. Smart Black Projector Screen Paint can be used with most projectors over 2500 lumens.

They are suitable for use on plaster, wall boards, wood, metal or any smooth surface.
Gain measures a screen's capacity to reflect and enhance the brightness of the projected image. It evaluates how effectively the screen bounces light back to the viewer. The gain value is defined as the ratio of the screen's reflective capabilities to those of a standard reference surface, a matte white screen with a gain of 1.0.

The gain value signifies the amount of lumens that the screen can reflect. A higher gain value means that more light is reflected, producing a brighter image on the screen. In contrast, a lower gain value results in reduced light reflection and a dimmer image.

The gain value also affects the viewing angle. A screen with a high gain will have a narrower viewing angle, requiring viewers to be positioned more directly in front of it to enjoy optimal brightness. Conversely, a screen with a lower gain will provide a wider viewing angle, allowing viewers to see a brighter image even from off-centre positions.

It's essential to understand that the selection of gain is influenced by the viewing environment and the desired experience. Elements such as ambient lighting, screen dimensions, projector brightness, and the arrangement of seating in the audience are all critical factors in determining the best gain for a particular scenario.

Gain influences the brightness of the projected image and the quality of viewing angles. It dictates how effectively the screen reflects light and affects the clarity and breadth of the viewing angle.
No, a higher gain projector screen doesn't necessarily ensure better image quality. While it may deliver a brighter image from specific angles, it can lead to reduced brightness from other viewpoints. Higher gain screens often feature a narrower viewing angle.
The typical gain for a projector screen is 1.0, which guarantees uniform brightness from all directions and is visible from different angles. However, the ideal gain is influenced by personal preferences and the particular setting. It's also essential to consider your projector's specifications and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of high and low-gain screens to find the most suitable option for your needs.
High-gain screens produce bright and clear images in bright environments, improve visibility in darker conditions, reflect minimal light from surrounding walls and ceilings, and effectively diminish light interruptions from fabric screens that resist general lighting.
High-gain screens come with a limited viewing angle for those positioned outside the centre. It requires viewers to sit directly in front of the screen for the best brightness, and may not provide sufficient brightness for larger groups due to their restrictive viewing angles. It is not suitable for outdoor use.
Low-gain screens allow a wider viewing angle for larger audiences, evenly distribute light across a broader angle for a consistent viewing experience, and can lessen projector brightness in indoor environments.
Low-gain screens may not be suitable for outdoor use due to lower brightness levels, can reject some light from the projector, and might not offer enough contrast to view all images.
When aiming to create engaging and immersive visual experiences, blending projections is a widely used method in various settings such as theatres, art exhibits, and large-scale presentations. To achieve a seamless look across projected images, the selection of the projection screen is vital. Our black projection screen paint provides an effective solution for blending multiple projections onto one surface. Due to its advanced formulation, our black projector paint is built to enhance the blending process and produce better results.

Successfully blending projections needs accurate colour reproduction, consistent brightness, and superior light diffusion to ensure a smooth transition between the images being projected. Our black projection paint has been developed with all of these factors in mind, enabling you to create a unified and immersive display.

For larger screens, our projection screen paint removes the necessity for bulky and costly physical screens, offering a more adaptable and economical solution for blending projections. You can turn any area into an immersive canvas where various projections blend seamlessly, engaging your audience.

The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) quantifies how much sound energy is absorbed by a material as sound waves traverse through it. In our evaluations, the SAC was measured for a 12mm gypsum board, a commonly used construction material.

The SAC can differ depending on the frequency of the sound waves that pass through the material. Various sound wave frequencies come with distinct wavelengths, and these wavelengths can interact with the material in multiple ways. Consequently, the SAC values provided represent a range, as the SAC will fluctuate based on the frequencies of the absorbed sound waves. In our tests, we recorded the following data:

Unpainted Board α = 0.04-0.07
Painted Board α = 0.04-0.07

The values listed correspond to a 12mm gypsum board that is unpainted and another that is painted. The α values of 0.04-0.07 for both boards indicate a range of SAC values for these materials. It means that when sound waves interact with a 12mm gypsum board, some sound energy will be absorbed by the material, with the amount of absorption falling within the range of 0.04-0.07 depending on the frequency of the sound waves. Furthermore, it also shows that all our paints possess acoustic transparency as there is no difference in performance between the standard board and its painted version.
Our complete selection of paints is designed to work with both types of projectors, ensuring peak performance no matter the projection type. When a 3D image is displayed on our paint, it successfully conveys the intended effect, resulting in an immersive viewing experience when used with 3D glasses.
3D projectors project two slightly different images that overlap on the screen. These images go through specialized optical filters, which causes the light to be polarized differently for each projection. Using special 3D glasses, each lens blocks one of the images, allowing your left eye to see one image and your right eye the other. The projection screen used mustn't change the polarity of the light when working with a 3D projector. All of our paint products maintain "polarity preserving" properties, ensuring that the image you see retains the same polarity as intended and preserving the complete 3D effect.
You can use either a roller or a spray to apply any of our Projector Paints.Ensure that all surfaces intended for painting are clean, fill any imperfections with filler for decorators, and once it dries, sand the surface until smooth. Measure the area you want to paint and use masking tape to clearly outline it. For uncoated surfaces, apply one coat of White Primer. as a base.Before using, stir the Black Projector Screen Paint. For optimal results, paint using a short pile roller sleeve that is either mohair or lint-free.
