Paper Roll

I have a Canon Pro 10 printer which prints sheets and not rolls. I wanted to try Breathing Color Vibrance Metallic paper without spending about 100 dollars for 13 x 19 sheets, so I purchased a smaller roll of 17 inches by 10 feet. I am hoping to cut and flatten the paper to print on the Pro-10. Any suggestions?

Buy a roll-fed printer!
Roll-fed printers take sheets, but cutting and flattening roll paper to run it through a sheet-fed device is an awkward, bad idea.
Been there... done that... ruined most of the roll with creases, fingerprints, and bad cuts... gave up and bought the box of sheets!

I agree with Bill. Hard to flatten roll paper enough to get though a sheet fed printer.
But since you already have the roll, i would cut a half dozen or so sheets, layer them with plain paper to protect the photo paper surfaces, lay large, flat board (metal sheet, marble ?) And weight it down and leave it like that for a few days, weeks and wish for the best.
