How Do You Make Projection Screen Material?
Avoid spending a fortune by making your own projector screen material. Because screens are expensive, some people just use the wall to project their movies, games and videos. The wall texture, however, tends to show in the projected image, giving you poor image quality. You can make projector material out of a variety of things, but the simplest and least expensive material is photographer’s paper. If you decide to use this paper as projector material, you should build a wood frame around it to keep the paper from being too fragile. You can opt to paint the frame black, but by using velveteen you avoid a glare from the image onto the frame. Cut two 93 1/2-inch-long, 1-by-4-inch poplar boards. These will be the top and bottom portion of your frame. Cut two 55 1/4-inch-long,1-by-4-inch poplar boards for the sides of your frame. Cut the ends of all boards to 45-degree angles. Cut two strips of black velveteen to 96 inches by 7 1/2 inches. These will be used to cover the top and bottom pop
