I believe polyester is best for dye sublimation ink. It won't absorb the solvent ink.

you may want to sub out to a dye sub printer! will look much better and pop a lot more!

I think that Polyester and solvent it a tricky endeavor. You can try increasing your number of passes, and do an inter pass delay. This might help allowing the ink to dry. If possible farm it out to someone with a dye sub or latex.

Then why would they advertize and sell the material for ec solvent printers?

I've never tried printing on this before, from what I can find it looks to be a flag material? I've tried on polyester window film and like AKwrapguy said, its very tricky. 1 or 2 degrees can change the outcome of the print. Good luck, sorry I couldn't have been more help.
