FAQ's

Well, for optimal performance with Smart Short Throw Projector Screen Paint, we recommend using in normal but bright ambient lighting is good also. This product will ensures crisp visuals and vibrant clarity even in high ambient light thus making your projection stand out effortlessly.

You can use Smart Short Throw Projector Screen Paint to turn any wall into a high-quality projection screen. It works best with short throw and ultra-short throw projectors, thus making it ideal for classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms. It’s designed to give clear, bright images even in normal to bright lighting.

Well, when it comes to acoustics, we have ensured that our Smart Projection Paints keep things crystal clear with zero compromise on sound quality. The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) measures how much sound energy a material absorbs as sound waves pass through it. During testing, we measured the SAC for a 12mm gypsum board – a standard building material.

Here’s the interesting bit : sound waves behave differently depending on their frequency, so the SAC value changes accordingly. But well, that's not the case for our paints.

Our Smarter Surfaces paints don’t alter the sound transmission properties of the surface at all. The results for both unpainted and painted gypsum boards came in at the same α = 0.04-0.07. This means our projector paints are acoustically transparent, therefore ensuring that the sound flows through without disruption, allowing your audience to hear every note as intended. So there's no sound interference, but just pure audio enjoyment.

When you’re dealing with 3D projectors, precision is key. These projectors deliver two slightly different images, polarised for each eye, thus allowing you to experience depth and dimension with the help of 3D glasses. If your screen alters the polarity of the light, the 3D effect could fall flat.

That’s where our polarity-preserving paint comes in. Our Smart Short Throw Projector Screen Paint ensures that the polarisation remains intact. This means that your 3D experience will be as immersive as it’s meant to be. The images you see on screen will align perfectly with the intended polarity, preserving the full 3D effect, and giving you a seamless, lifelike experience, just as it should be.

Blending projections can take your visuals to the next level, whether it’s for theatrical displays, immersive art installations or dynamic presentations. To pull off seamless, cohesive projections, you need a screen that supports the blending process without compromising on quality.

Our Short Throw Projector Screen Paint is engineered to precisely handle that. With its advanced formulation, it ensures consistent colour accuracy, balanced brightness, and even light diffusion across the surface. This creates a flawless transition between overlapping projections, thus giving you a dynamic, engaging display that flows seamlessly.

Plus, forget about costly, bulky physical screens because our paint provides a flexible and cost-effective solution that can turn any surface into a canvas for your creative projections.

Yes, absolutely. Whether you're watching a standard 2D film or diving into the depths of 3D, our Short Throw Projector Screen Paint has got you covered. Its versatile composition ensures that both 2D and 3D projectors deliver the best possible results with vibrant, crisp images in both formats.

When projecting 3D content, the paint seamlessly supports the layered, immersive effects, thus working perfectly with 3D glasses to create a lifelike experience. It’s therefore, a one-stop solution for all your viewing needs irrespective of whether you’re screening a traditional film or an action-packed 3D blockbuster.

Gain is like the amplifier for your projected image. It's the screen’s ability to reflect and boost the brightness of what’s projected onto it. Simply put, it’s a measure of how well the screen bounces light back toward your eyes.

The gain value is expressed as a ratio comparing the reflective power of the screen to that of a standard matte white surface (with a gain of 1.0). A higher gain reflects more light, thus making the image brighter. On the other hand, a lower gain reflects less light, thus resulting in a dimmer picture.

However, here’s the interesting part – gain also affects the viewing angle. So higher gain means a narrower viewing angle. This means you need to be positioned more centrally to get the brightest image. A lower gain, on the contrary offers a wider viewing angle, letting more viewers enjoy the brightness, even if they’re not directly in front of the screen.

The right gain value depends on factors like ambient light, the projector’s brightness, and the screen size. So before choosing your screen, consider what’s best for your space and viewing preferences.

Gain plays a crucial role in your viewing experience. It directly impacts both the brightness of the projected image and the clarity across different viewing angles. A good gain value therefore ensures that the light is reflected well, creating a bright, vivid image. It also affects how well the screen adapts to the number of people viewing it from different angles.

Well, not necessarily. While a higher gain screen will make the image brighter from certain angles, it can also result in a dimmer image from others. Higher gain screens often have a smaller viewing angle, meaning they’re ideal for people sitting directly in front of the screen. However, if you're considering a larger group viewing or a broader angle, then a higher gain might not be your best choice.

The standard gain for a projector screen is 1.0, ensuring equal brightness from all angles. But your ideal gain depends on factors like :• Ambient light in the room • Projector brightness • The screen size • The viewing angle you wantA higher gain is perfect for bright environments or smaller, focused viewing areas, while a lower gain, on the contrary, is great for wider viewing angles. So carefully consider your space and viewing needs to determine the best fit.

Following are the advantages of high-gain screens : • Brighter Images : Perfect for bright rooms or larger projectors. • Clear Visibility : Enhances visibility even in dark spaces. • Less Light Loss : Reduces light lost to walls or the ceiling, thus keeping the focus on the screen. • Ideal for Smaller Spaces : Works well when the audience is close to the screen.

Following are the disadvantages of high-gain screens : • Narrower Viewing Angle : Viewers must sit directly in front of the screen to experience optimal brightness. • Limited Brightness for Larger Audiences : May not deliver the same impact for big groups due to its restrictive angles. • Not Great Outdoors : Higher gain doesn’t perform quite well in open-air spaces where light conditions are unpredictable.

Following are the advantages of low-gain screens : • Wider Viewing Angle : More people can enjoy the image without losing brightness. • Even Light Distribution : Light is diffused evenly across a larger area, thus ensuring consistent brightness throughout. • Ideal for Indoor Settings : Works well in darker rooms where the projector’s brightness can be better spread.

Following are the disadvantages of low-gain screens : • Less Brightness Outdoors : The lower reflective power means it’s less effective in direct sunlight or bright environments. • Reduced Contrast : Low-gain screens might not provide the same level of sharp contrast as higher gain screens, particularly in low-light settings.

Applying the Smart Throw Projector Screen Paint is an absolute breeze. All you need to do is :• Prepare the Surface : Before you begin, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust or loose materials. If there are imperfections, then just fill and sand the area until it's smooth ideally like as a new penny.• Mark Your Territory : Measure the area you wish to paint and mark it clearly with a masking tape. This will create crisp, professional-looking edges for that perfect finish.• Prime Your Surface : If the surface is bare or untreated, then simply give it a coat of White Primer This step will ensure a solid base for the projector paint to adhere to and provide an even, flawless finish

• Stir Before You Start : Give your projector paint a thorough stir to make sure it’s perfectly mixed and ready to go. No lumps and no bumps, just smooth, even coverage.• Apply the Paint : For the best results, grab a mohair or lint-free short-pile roller sleeve. Apply the paint evenly in two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. This ensures a professional, long-lasting finish.And that is it. Now just sit back, relax, and let your new projector screen shine.

Smart Short Throw Projector Screen Paint is designed to work its magic on smooth surfaces such as wood, concrete, metal, plaster, wallboards, and other composites. It's perfect for interior spaces, bringing your projections to life on a wide range of surfaces.

To attain the most optimal results, we recommend applying Smart Short Throw Projector Screen Paint on a surface that’s already primed or painted. If you're working with a bare or untreated surface, a coat of White Primer will essentially prepare it for the paint application.

Keep your screen in tip-top condition by just wiping it down with a dry cloth, or use a slightly damp cloth for more stubborn marks. It’s that simple to keep your projections looking sharp.

How to Apply Projector Paint Like a Pro

  1. Prep the Surface :
    Start by ensuring that the surface you're painting on is clean, dry and free from any loose debris. Lightly sand the area to create a smooth, even base for the paint.
  2. Mark the Area :
    Measure the space you want to cover and carefully mark it with masking tape to create crisp, professional edges.
  3. Prime the Surface (if required):
    For untreated or bare surfaces, apply two coats of Smart White Primer to ensure an even base. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before moving on to subsequent coats.
  4. Mix the Paint:
    Once your surface is ready, give your projector paint a good stir. This ensures a smooth, consistent application.
  5. Apply the Paint:
    For the best results, use a mohair or lint-free short-pile roller to apply the paint. Apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry before adding the next – generally around 2-4 hours at 20°C.
  6. Let it Dry:
    Patience is key. So after the second coat, let the paint dry completely to ensure a flawless, durable finish.
