Anyone printing on Optisolve Polypropylene 8 mil film (or something similar)?

I bought this months ago for a quick turnaround poster job and never got it working.

Not even sure where to start. Crank curing and drying? Seems like it's going to require more than that - as the blacks in the test print run together.

This would drip if I pinned it to the wall.
