Default Backdrop Rolls Source Recommendation

Anyone have any recommendations of where to get those backdrop paper rolls you've recommended in the UK?

Also, how heavy are they? My backdrop stand isn't as solid as I would perhaps like,

Cheers!

Sourcing... but need to ask, what width do you recommend? My poles are 1m each, so I guess I'm looking at the 1.72m x 11m paper - which is fine if that is suitable, if not, I'm happy to buy a new stand kit and the 2.72m roll.

I'm planning on using it for couples shots, I have a feeling there might be requests for 3-4 group shots too possibly (I guess 2 could kneel in front)

Thanks again!

I know rolls come in 4ft and 9ft wide rolls here, whereas anything wider requires a special order of some kind.

You'll never can second guess them when it comes to group shots. We had a crowd of kids
(17) who crammed themselves onto your 12 x 24 ft green screen for a group shot. You might get request of a group shot of table partners, maybe 4 to 5 couples.
