Is the roll older or newer manufacturing wise? I had some crazy issues on a brand new roll of ABS before, noticed the sticker lettering was slightly different, and production serial number was pretty far behind. Was just a bad roll of filament, i'm assuming it was just really old, but i wasn't jamming up. I had obviously print abnormalities, looked horrible. Hatchbox has worked well for me, cheaper and printed at slightly lower temps then the Makerbot i use. I just preferred the look of the Makerbot, as it had a different sheen on the finished parts. Now that i acetone treat everything though, kinda doesn't matter anymore lol. A lot of my jams and print failures were fixed with a Micro Swiss nozzle, something i battled for a long time.
No clue about newer or older honestly. I bought it retail not online a few days back. If there's a way to tell I can look but I don't know otherwise.
