[SML] RP Screen Material Options

[Chip Haas]

We've got an upcoming production that needs two RP screens, approximately
15' tall and 16' wide. Real RP screen will be too cost prohibitive for us,
so looking for any suggestions on alternative materials.

In the past I've used heavyweight muslin, but projections for this show
will be a wide variety of artwork that needs to be fairly crisp. The times
I've used muslin, it's been primarily text and images that didn't matter if
they were a little fuzzy. I've used heavy white plastic also, but the fold
lines were very difficult to eliminate, so I'm hoping to find another
option.

Looking at Rose Brand they have Aglo that is at a width that can work is at
a price point we might be able to afford, but having never used it wanted
to check with the SML hive mind to find out if it works well for a shop
built RP screen.

I'm also open to other suggestions for materials as well.

thanks,
