A: The Awagami Factory Kozo Thin White Paper Roll has a 3 inch core but it is too thin for use in the Canon 2100 printer. The paper is 0.16mil and your printer requires paper that is 3mil or thicker.

Q: 4. Can the black cover come off?

A: No, the black backing is fully integrated into the umbrella and does not come off. Profoto does manufacture a translucent white version of this umbrella - but that's obviously expensive. If you're looking for a lightbox option to pair with the umbrella, I'd suggest the umbrella diffuser - it is a lot less expensive that another umbrella and definitely extends the range of lighting options the umbrella provides. - I hope this helps.
