Start Out Right in Caring for a High Gain Projection Screen
Caring for a high gain projection screen is important. Practicing good
cleaning and handling of the screen will protect it from damage and extend
the life of the screen. It is essential to protecting the investment and
keeping the screen useful.
Caring for a high gain projection screen starts when it is first purchased.
Screens usually come rolled or folded. The first thing a person should do
is wait. It is very important not to try to take the screen out of the
package before it has gotten to room temperature. If the screen has been
subjected to cold or heat during shipping it should be allowed to sit for a
while before opening it up. This helps keep the screen from receiving
permanent damage. At the same time it is also important to take the screen
out of the package as soon as possible once it is at room temperature.
Keeping a screen rolled or folded could create a permanent crease or marking
on the screen. Once the screen is taken out of the package it should be
secured to the support. The screen should be stored in an area where it
will not be subjected to handling or dust and where it can stay at a fairly
constant temperature.
Caring for a high gain projection screen begins right away. The care a
person gives their screen within the first few hours of owning it is very
important. This is the time when irreversible damage can occur. To get off
on the right foot and ensure plenty of good use a person should immediately
focus on their projection screen once they get it home.
