I finally got a chance to try my New55 from the Kickstarter. I was one of the last rewards shipped and my pods are stamped 3/30/2016.
I've used expired Polaroid material with my 545 holder and it worked fine. There was a real hard pull when you felt the pod go through the rollers.
With my New55 the pod goes right through the rollers with little resistance and the pods are not bursting. I wasted a few units last night before I managed to get one to burst and spread, although to do that I had to run it back and forth through the rollers a few times.
So the problem likely boils down to too-thin pods, my rollers having too much of a gap (can they be adjusted?), or my technique being wrong. If anyone has any advice or suggestions to share I'd love to hear it.
