What is gain value?

Gain is a measurement of the reflectivity of any screen or projection surface. The gain number represents a ratio of the light that is reflected from the surface as compared to a whiteboard – 1.0 represents the measurement of a regular whiteboard.
Choose a higher gain value projection surface for brighter rooms with a narrow viewing angle – for example, conference rooms and classrooms. Avoid the issues of hotspotting and color shifts by not exceeding a 1.3 gain value.
Choose a lower gain value projection surface to create a home theatre effect in a darkened room. Grey projection surfaces tend to have lower gain values and higher light contrast ratings.

Do I need to prime the surface before applying Smart Projector Paints?

We recommend applying Smart Projector Paints onto a previously primed or painted surface. If applying onto an uncoated surface, use a white water based primer, such as Smart White Primer, to prepare the surface with two coats.
