I'm looking for a rolled paper background or to purchase background for my pictures. I am new to photography and have seen other photographers use this.

It's quite cheap actually, look under lighting at bhphotovideo.com and you'll find all of those accessories. You can get a white roll of paper for under $30. With proper lighting, you can make a white roll look any color or hue, including black, though ideally you would have one white and one black.

The key to this is to get good distance between your table and the background roll or vertical portion of the scoop. Light that 2 stops hotter than your key with 2 x strobes at 45 degrees crossed over so you get an even spread on the bg. Any brighter and you risk bounce back into your lens which may cause flare. Flag the bg if needed. Light the subject with more strobes and modifiers to suit.

Try Hobby Lobby, or an art supply store. If Hobby Lobby doesn't have any ask if someone there might know where you could find a place that did sell it. Oh maybe a Walmart photo center would know where you could get some or Walgreens.

I would suggest you use bed sheets for your background. You can also make some very inexpensive backgrounds by using latex paint and paintings the sheets the shades and hues that you need for your photos.

any local photosupply store should be able to help you (well, maybe not the chains like wolf) if they don't have it in stock, you can order it through them. or there are lots of photography supply places on the web freestyle in LA is one good place

I love hunting for backdrops on eBay, i get mine dirty cheap! But when I'm in a rush, I go to local craft/fabric stores, like Hobby lobby, etc.
