Alan,

Some people use the D-roller and like it, but it seemed a little
pricey to me.  I just use an old paper tube (for example a 2" or 3"
tube from an old roll of printing or wrapping paper).  I just roll the
print backwards and let it sit for about 30 seconds, then unroll. 
Different papers and weights need less or more time, or a couple of
cycles, but it does help a lot, especially when you get closer to the
core, where the paper is rolled in a smaller diameter.  

Give it a try.  Cheap and easy.
