The other thing to consider is whether you are using too large a drill bit. I typically find that the letters fit so snugly that the adhesive is primarily serving to seal the hole from moisture, not glue the letter in place.
Put application tape over the marks and redraw them on the tape with ruler and fine point Sharpie. Just make sure your application tape is firmly stuck down on all edges or the reader can peel it up.
You only use the metal high pressure rollers when doing multilayered prints because it has to roll the media back through the printer, and the regular rollers would smear you ink and get themselves contaminated. You never use both types of rollers at once. Whichever roller you use, it always has...

Just print on intermediate vinyl with regular permanent adhesive and laminate with a matte texture laminate like 5 mil General Formulations Concept 109. It will look like a subsurface printed polycarbonate sticker.
Typical box trailers aren't actually painted. They use prepainted aluminum sheets, just like what we buy for signs. And it doesn't matter what kind of vinyl you put on them, when they get old the paint will come off with Rapid Remover or pretty much anything you use.
The Epson S series come with Onyx GamaPrint RIP. We went ahead and purchased Onyx's Production House to get more capabilities. There are plenty of profiles available at Onyx's website to download. And out of the box, they are all pretty good, in my experience. We actually use profiles across...
