Default Paper Curl, Any DIY solutions?
I have seen the D-roller advertised for removing the curl from roll paper but has anyone found a good DIY solution to this problem?

There's nothing magic about the D-roller. When I investigated this a year or so ago, I'm sure I found someone who had made his own version cheaply. Sorry, but I can't remember where I saw it though.

Try reversing the rolled paper (roll the other direction on a roll) and banding with a couple of rubber bands...leave that way for a day or two. It should counteract the curled paper.

or roll it reversed and slip it in a shipping tube. it won't get pressure marks from the banding

we don't get marks because we do it very loosely...you have a good point and idea though!
