I only wish it were true!

Either your supplier got it wrong or you read it wrong: Draper uses the same
material as DaLite, and it's ONLY available in 70 x 70 or less. A 6 x 8
screen was available MANY years ago... probably 20 years or so. I contacted
Draper directly to confirm what I already suspected.

The "Silver Lining" screen I showcased at NSA Richmond may soon become
available for purchase. I have been  testing the material and have
determined that it should be rolled, rather than folded for transportation.
One can fold it, but resulting creases are objectionable. The creases,
however, can literally be ironed out! But as this is not practical at a
venue, I am now working on a carry tube for the rolled material. It will
snap on to a 5 x 7.5 foot frame which folds into a portable case. Not as
convenient as a tripod screen, but much flatter and more professional
looking, especially with the optional dress kit.

As far as larger than 5 x 7.5, we are working on it!
