So it doesn't have the contrast I thought it would. But it's normal. I use it as a background for my YouTube videos. There are lines on this one too, but due to my lighting setup, you can't really see them. And this backdrop has a smell. Not what's unbearable, but it really is. Just wanted to post it there. But I have a high tolerance. I'm just glad it did the job for me. I will recommend this background to those who record videos and whose light does not shine on the background. If not, you can always take a steamer and iron.
