Interesting. I wish someone would do a large background with the Russian steppes on it.

These don't seem too large to me. They are only about 11" x 16". I use a 22" x 30" poster board and that is still not big enough on some of my larger builds.

I agree with the comments above. These seem to be very small and basic backgrounds. However, they might prove useful for figure photography.

So if it was possible to produce A2 backgrounds would there be a market for them? Either graduated or a photorealistic one?

I'll know in a few weeks as we're buying an A2 printer. I'll drop you a line soon.
