When using the manual load, lift up the blue handle and make sure when you feed the media in that it sticks out far enough to grab onto. Then you can put a little tension on it as it is loading to keep it flat. Works for me anyways.
I am really liking Substance Media's 2755. It's a 2.75mil air release film. 54" roll is $199 shipped. From what I have used, it seems to hold up better than IJ35 for me. There laminate is nice too. It is calendared, but it is a higher end calendared so it doesn't shrink like the cheap crap does...
Having started with a Roland, and now running 2 HP L260's, I would highly recommend the HP Latex. I just like everything about them a lot more. Like it was mentioned, you would not regret looking for a used L260 instead of the L25500. Again, I have had both, and the L260 has a lot of nice...
I'd use the 444LSE from Substance Media. I like it better than DPF8000 and it has an air release backer.

I have a S Class T-Series, but I have mine on "Force XY" and mine seems to work best running at around 400mm per second. I also will do an OPOS calibration with some black vinyl when I notice it is off a little. Most of the time I really don't need a bleed at all.
Man, for a shop the size of Josh's, and how big of a Roland fan he is, you would think they would have been all over getting that fixed. Not like he's a small shop barely running the thing.
Everything sounds awesome on it, but still makes me want to wait. The one thing I really liked is the new platens, since I have been doing a lot of lighter fabric. The platen covers you can get for the L260 work great, but can streak the ink on the backside of the media if you overload them.
So would you say this is a worthwhile upgrade from a L260? Thinking about upgrading one of mine. I would have to sell one to make room, so I must want to make sure it's worth it. :)
The HP being a power hog is a major myth! I have 2 of them running, and my power bill isn't much more than it used to be. I have had great results printing on the Sihl heat transfer material. Yes, heat transfer material works.
I can print/cut on metallic with my HP L260 and Summa S140T without any issue. Recently just tried with some Avery Supreme Wrap film and that worked great too.
I highly recommend Caldera! The output and the tech support are amazing!! I have also read posts from many people who have switched from Onyx to Caldera and have had better results.
I would also HIGHLY recommend a Summa S-Class cutter over the Graphtec too. I have had both of these and you...
