how do you feed the roll through an inkjet printer?

You don't feed the entire roll. You can cut it to any length up to 11" long, making it the same size as standard paper, if that's the maximum size that your printer will handle. You save on waste, by being able to cut smaller lengths, as necessary. I usually print my design out in a trial run, in greyscale, or draft mode, on regular paper, to see how large the design is, then cut the fabric appropriately. Hope this answers your question.

Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

There is a small feed tray on top of the printer. You can flip the top flap up and put probably 10-15 sheets into the top.

Sure you can. There is a 'straight path' tray you load, as opposed to the 'curved path' feeder on top. You can get the card stock from Epson too if you have problems finding quality stock in your area. Prior answer is correct about single sheet feeding as I dimly recall, having used the heavy card stock printing feature only once when I originally got mine. It'll also print CD disks as well.

Well you can try, but depending on your printer it may not work. I have tried and it worked but not with consistency. Let me explain. The film is not 100% pliable. You can bend it but at a point it will "snap", so your printer may curve too much for this to last. Also the film specifically for inkjet holds the ink better. Some inks will run right off this. If you want to guarantee you don't ruin your printer or waste a piece, you will need to get the inkjet kind, which of course are more expensive. The ink doesn't dry fast enough so if you print a saturated image it may be a wet mess, and then when you shrink it turns into a blob.

I take the top off first, loosen a few sheets on the roll, then feed it through the dispenser. I'm on my third container! I hope this works for you.

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

It's pretty stiff so I don't know how easily it will feed. I know they make shrinks dinks that are specific for printers.

You can't. I spent 3 hrs on the phone with Kodak tech support to come to the realization its a rip off. I never used my color ink cartridge, ever and it kept saying it was out. Something in the software tells it is empty when it's not. Il stay away from this line of printers

Put the end with the little ball (not the flat end) into the back of the feed and give it a push. It may take a little time for the ink to start flowing.

I use an inkjet printer and it works just fine. I do have to put one piece of paper in the paper tray at a time.

They feed directly into the printer. I've never had a problem with them - super easy to use.

I have not been able to get my Epson XP-400 to print on any medium-heavy weight card stock, even when I hand feed it single sheets. I have a friend who was able to ram a few sheets of 100# pages through, but then the printer wouldn't pull any type of paper through after that. I highly recommend you don't ram paper through - the person below who says "Its' not an HP" so you can rough the printer up does not appear to be trustworthy or logical.

My printer was provided with a power cord. However, it is 110 voltage so any cord thatwil fit into the recepticle would probably work since it is unlikely the printer pulls a lot of amps.

Since the paper does a 180 degree turn out of the tray and into the print path you'd need to stay within guidelines for paper thickness and flexibility. Anything thicker than standard inkjet photo stock will give you problems. There's no rear single sheet feed as some printers have for thick stocks. Other than that I really like this printer.

When printing there is the option for a user defined roll size. One thing make sure you set up the paper to be longer then the photo being printed as there is no cutter on the machine.

You can't. Ink is a terrible issue with this printer. The ink levels are controlled by a chip and even tho there is still ink left it won't print. The ink usage is ridiculous and the cost astronomical. I am considering chucking it and going back to a Canon or Hp. I got sucked in by it's small size.
