What can I make a front projector screen out of?

Question

I have a infocus 650 and want to make a good screen to project it on to. Right now i am using white printer copy paper and it's not cutting it. Any ideas? Maybe there is something on Ebay or Home depot i can buy that would work?

Answer 1

paint a wall of your house white, like 8 coats of white, then paint a black border around it. it's awesome.

Answer 2

Check out goosystems.com for an appropriate paint which can be applied to a smooth wall surface for under $150.00.  Otherwise, check out craigslist.com for a used portable screen.

Good luck!

Answer 3

White Sheet

Butcher Roll Paper

White Curtens

Or expensive Screen Material

Answer 4

I've made screens using paint and BlackoutCloth. You can use WilsonArt Melamine, photographers paper, etc.

See the 1st link for a site dedicated to DIY screens (lot's of great ideas and links) and the 2nd for an article on building a fixed screen (The company also sell acoustically transparent screen material too). The third link is to a commercial paint screen material.
