Elite Screens CineGrey 5D Care And Use

Designer Cut Series- CineGrey 5D®

Ambient Light Rejecting Projection Material

Elite Screens wants you to enjoy your Designer Cut Projection Screen to its full extent and for many years to come! We
made the Designer Cut materials available for you to be able to fully customize your projection experience, however,
please note that ALL Designer Cut materials do require specific properties to be adhered during installation to obtain an
enjoyable viewing experience.

The CineGrey 5D® is the perfect solution for rooms that have little or no control over incidental light. This means that it’s
an ideal fit for family rooms as well as lecture halls, boardrooms, sports bars, training facilities, and other business
environments. In addition, the CineGrey 5D® increases projector brightness by 1.5 times.

Care & Use

Please follow this general rule of thumb for all Designer Cut screens

• Only Project onto the “Front” of material. The material will have a sticker to indicate the backside of the material.

• Stretch material taught over any frame/structure of your choice

• Never place your screen over a window or under consistent sun exposure

NOTE: Direct sunlight destroys projector screen materials. Solar radiation breaks down cloth and synthetic
projection materials, so it is best to keep them away from direct sunlight.

Installation Tips

• If you are using a staple or nail gun to stretch your material over a custom frame/structure you can reinforce

the puncture area with a duct tape strip to prevent tearing the material as its being stretched.

• For best picture quality results, maintain a minimum viewing distance if possible 1.5 times the width of your

projection image. NOTE: Sharp metal implements such as thumb tacks or nails will cause the material to tear

under its own weight when improperly applied.

Material Maintenance

Wrinkles/Creases: The material may have minor wrinkles which will get removed after stretching it tightly over a frame or

a mounting system that allows tensioning.

Dust/Dirt: A feather duster should be used to remove loose dirt or dust. Use mild soap and warm water on a microfiber
cloth to clean dirt or dust spots. Do not rub or scrape the material.

Note: The 135” size listed for this series is

referring to the diagonal measurement of the

screen material

Addressing Indentations on the CineGrey 5D® Material

If you notice slight indentations on the material upon unpacking the

screen, there are a couple of things that can be done to alleviate
them. The easiest method would be to allow the material to rest.
These indentations should dissipate over time when the screen is
fully assembled and the material is completely tensioned.

To quicken the process, before mounting the screen, use a hairdry­er set on medium heat and blow on the material from its back side

while slightly pulling on the edges to further tension the material.
Keep the hairdryer about a foot away at all times. Do not apply
excessive heat as this will cause the material to deform. You may
need to repeat this process for a couple of times depending on the
severity of the indentations.

NOTE: After applying heat, you must allow the screen to cool down completely before it shows any improvement
in alleviating the indentations.

Screen material when first

unpackaged and assembled

Elite Screens Guarantees all of our Designer Cut Series screens to fully cover the advertized diagonal size and
aspect ratio (when thoroughly stretched over an/your existing frame), however, due to the nature of the polymers
in some materials; you may notice:

1. A slight difference in screen size when rolled out. This shrinkage is normal and it’s due to the materials temper­ature adjustment while packed, stored and shipped. Please note that the Designer Cut Series of materials require a taut

stretching for optimal performance of up to 135" diagonal 16:9 DIY frame.

2. A minor line every 5" to 8" when rolled out. This is normal and is due to the edge of the material causing a

minor imprint when the material is being rolled for packing. Please note that the Designer Cut Series of materials require a

taut stretching for optimal performance of up to 135" diagonal 16:9 DIY frame this stretching should remove any minor
imprint from your final installation and should not affect your viewing experience.

fully tensioned and cured

If for any reason you receive a product that shows significant shrinkage (over 2"-3" difference) or deep crease lines that

do not alleviate with stretching please contact our dedicated service team for assessment and resolution.
