Some, but not a lot...

The big problem is that the 2200 takes a fairly small roll of paper (1.5 inch core, I believe). A lot of matte papers have coatings that crack or flake if you try to bend them around that small a radius.

That's why some folks get 24, 33, or 44 inch rolls (on 3 inch cores, much easier on the paper) and cut the rolls down on a bandsaw, then build a 3 inch roll paper holder behind the 2200.

Personally, for matte papers, I like brushing off every single sheet, so I brush a sheet, load it in the hopper, brush another sheet, load it in, until I have 5 sheets or so loaded...

You can't really brush roll paper. Entrada, especially, I would not go near on roll paper...

Ciao!
