Thumbs down Spectra cut 2 giving problems, need other vinyl

I just got my own vinyl cutter and heat press and got some heat seal vinyl and I'm having the worst time with this stuff. I've been doing this stuff for years and I just struck out on my own. I ordered this "spectra cut II" vinyl and this stuff is real tough: tough to weed, bad adhesion to cotton shirts and cotton twill, and it behaves differently than vinyl I'm more familiar with.

Heck, when I increase heat and pressure, it actually adheres worse than low temp and pressure!

Question: What vinyl brands do you use and WHY and how much do you pay and where can I get me some. The why is the important part.

secondary question: If you know how to improve the way spectra cut 2 vinyl is printing, please let me know.
