For prints larger than 16x20 - I cut my paper from rolls. But what a pain sometimes...dealing with the paper curl - especially when dry winter weather sets in!

I'm thinking that I'll purchase a cardboard mailing tube about the same width/diameter as the full paper roll - and use this to create a "reverse roller" to receive a length of paper...not the entire new roll, but perhaps a length approximating what I might be needing for a certain interval of time or particular show/portfolio.

At any rate...this "reverse roll" would then go into its own lightproof bag/box, and I'd wait for a few days (?) prior to cutting this paper into my desired sizes - by now hopefully more or less flattened for storage and use.

Just wondering if anybody has tried the above or something similar? Results? Recommended length of time the roll should remain reversed until cut? Thanks!
