Backdrop in vinyl

I bought a blue backdrop for my studio and it's made of vinyl which supposedly is good for being a non reflective material. But when it came, it was folded in a bag and when unfolded, it has a lot of pleat trace on it. Can anyone say what I could to remove the pleats because they will not look nice in the photos.... Any idea! I cannot iron because it's made of vinyl....

Try using steam. It may not completely remove the pleats, but I think steam would flatten it a bit. The pleat would not be as noticeable.

Steam will help, you could also iron it but first lay a towel over it (if you don't have a steamer)

LEave it to hang out but add weight to the bottom to speed it

I'd go with a hairdrier.
