Notes:
37
Non-coated materials with black backings are all pretty smooth and have no obvious issues at 8'.
38
Vinyl coated materials are a bit of a mixed bag at 8' with a black backing. Some are very smooth, others can get pretty grainy.
39
Perforated screens need room to breathe. 10' is the absolute minimum, 12'-13' is preferred and >14' is optimal. These screens are sharper though, so there's a balance. The closer you are the sharper you want the screen to be.
