Ernst,

I have tried making them too, but the problem is that the accuracy
of the spindle tension and how even it is side-to-side determines
if the print will drift as it goes down long media.
With the Epson spindles, I print to 60" down a roll and maintain
borders within 1mm. Never could do that with my own. 
I suspect yours are much better though - never thought of the 
freight strap. Good idea.
