Ambient Light Rejecting Paint has a special formula to resist unwanted light ingress.

It works by selectively reflecting your projector light back to the audience and scattering excess light from hitting the screen from the sides. It reduces the washout brightening effect of ambient light to improve the image reflected in brighter rooms. It’s a great solution for rooms that have normal to high ambient light and will maximize ultra short throw and laser projector picture quality.

Ambient Light Rejecting Paint Reviews

MAC AV Solutions

Impressive performance. We were looking for a solution for an ALR projection screen for a large auditorium with high light levels but in a large size which was proving cost prohibitive, then we found Smarter Surfaces. I have to complement the technical support and the product has been fantastic, excellent value and very effective.

Good product and good support was provided, and will use again. Thomas J

This product was identified by the client for a church hall and to be fair has worked very well. Painted on similar to an oil paint with no issues, surface preparation is very important.

FAQ's

Once the paint is applied to your wall, our Ambient Light Rejection Projector Screen Paint is ready to apply as a projection surface 24 hours after it has completely dried. Simply set up your projector as required and direct it at the painted wall. We suggest ensuring your projector is calibrated appropriately. Refer to the owner's manual for further details.

Gain signifies the screen's capacity to reflect and enhance the brightness of the projected image. It assesses how effectively the screen directs light back to the viewer's eyes. The gain value is expressed as the ratio of the screen's reflective ability compared to a standard reference surface, generally a matte white screen with a gain of 1.0.

The gain value reflects the quantity of lumens the screen can reflect. A higher gain value indicates that more light is reflected, resulting in a brighter image on the screen. In contrast, a lower gain value results in less light being reflected, leading to a dimmer image.

The gain value also affects the viewing angle's width. A screen with a higher gain will offer a narrower viewing angle, requiring viewers to be positioned more directly in front of the screen for optimal brightness. Conversely, a screen with a lower gain provides a wider viewing angle, allowing for a brighter image to be seen even when not directly facing the screen.

It's essential to consider that the ideal gain depends on the specific viewing conditions and the desired experience. Elements such as ambient lighting, screen size, projector brightness, and audience arrangement all influence the best gain for a particular scenario.

Gain influences both the brightness of the projected image and the quality of the viewing angles. It determines how effectively the screen reflects light and impacts the clarity and breadth of the viewing angle.

No, a projector screen with a higher gain does not necessarily guarantee superior image quality. While it can yield a brighter image from certain angles, it may also result in reduced brightness from others. Typically, higher gain screens have a narrower viewing angle.

The typical gain for a projector screen is 1.0, which guarantees consistent brightness across all angles and visibility from various perspectives. However, the best gain is determined by user preference and the particular environment. Additional factors to consider include ambient light conditions, projector specifications, and distance from the screen surface.

High gain screens provide sharp and visible images in well-lit environments, improve visibility in dim conditions, reflect minimal light from surrounding walls and ceilings, and effectively reduce light from fabric screens that are resistant to ambient lighting.

High gain screens have a limited viewing angle for those not positioned centrally, necessitate that viewers sit directly in front of the screen for optimal brightness, may lack sufficient brightness for larger crowds due to their narrow viewing angles, and are unsuitable for outdoor viewing.

Low gain screens offer a wider viewing angle for more extensive audiences, evenly distribute light across a broader angle for a consistent viewing experience, and lessen projector brightness for indoor environments.

Low gain screens are not suitable for outdoor use because of their diminished brightness, as they absorb some light from the projector, and might not provide enough contrast to view all images.

In the realm of creating engaging and dynamic visual experiences, blending projections is a widely used method in various settings such as art exhibits, theaters, and large presentations. Achieving seamless and unified projections heavily depends on the selection of the projection screen. Our projection screen paint serves as an excellent solution for blending multiple projections onto a single surface. With its innovative formulation, our alr projector screen paint is specifically crafted to support the blending process and produce exceptional outcomes.

The effective blending of projections demands precise colour fidelity, consistent brightness, and superior light diffusion to ensure a smooth flow between the projected visuals. Our projection screen paint was designed with these elements in mind, enabling you to create a unified and immersive display.

For large-scale screens, our projection screen paint removes the necessity for bulky and costly physical screens, offering a more adaptable and budget-friendly option for blending projections. Transform any area into an engaging canvas where multiple projections seamlessly integrate, captivating your audience.

Our complete selection of paints is suitable for both 2D and 3D projectors, providing excellent performance no matter the projection type. When a 3D image is projected onto our paint, it flawlessly conveys the desired effect, resulting in an engaging viewing experience when used with 3D glasses.

3D projectors operate by displaying two slightly varied images that overlap on the screen. These images pass through unique optical filters, which polarize the light differently for each projection. When viewed through specialized 3D glasses, one lens blocks one image, allowing your left eye to perceive one image while your right eye sees the other.

Thus, the projection screen you use mustn't alter the polarity of the light when using a 3D projector. All of our paint products are "polarity preserving," meaning the image you observe will maintain the intended polarity, ensuring the full 3D effect is preserved.

The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) quantifies how much sound energy a material absorbs as sound waves pass through it. In our evaluations, the SAC was measured for a 12mm gypsum board, a commonly used building material.

The SAC can fluctuate with the frequency of the sound waves traveling through the material. Different sound wave frequencies have varying wavelengths, which interact with the material in distinct ways. Consequently, the SAC values provided represent a range, as the SAC will differ based on the frequency of the sound waves being absorbed. In our assessments, we recorded the following findings:

Unpainted Board α = 0.04-0.07
Painted Board α = 0.04-0.07

The values listed pertain to both an unpainted 12mm gypsum board and a painted version. The α values of 0.04-0.07 for both types signify the range of SAC values for these materials. This indicates that when sound waves travel through a 12mm gypsum board, some sound energy will be absorbed by the material, with the absorption amount falling within the 0.04-0.07 range, depending on the sound wave frequency. However, it also suggests that all our paints are acoustically transparent, as there is no difference in performance between the standard board and the painted version.

This innovative Ambient Light Rejecting Projection Screne Paint uses unique pigment particle technology to scatter ambient light ingress from the horixontal plane which protects the projected light beam by reducing light interference

You can use the ALR Paint using either a roller or a spray. Generally, we suggest that roller application is the most common method.

All surfaces preparing for painting should be dry, clean, and free from any loose materials. Measure the area you intend to paint and clearly outline it with masking tape unless you are painting an entire wall. Apply a primer coat to uncoated, bare surfaces with a layer of White Primer.

Repair any defects or cracks and sand the entire surface smooth using 120-grade sandpaper or similar. Thoroughly stir the projector paint before applying it. For optimal results, apply the paint with a mohair or lint-free short pile roller sleeve.
