we built these racks. for the 24-30" rolls we just built it out of some extra wood left over from jobs. plywood base with the plastic end caps from the rolls of vinyl when they come in screwed to the bottom.
for the larger rolls we welded together the frame and then mounted some 3mm sintra...
probably this. had the same thing and replaced the dampers and capping station (always want to try replacing the least expensive parts first ) but turned out it was the head.
it happened to our XC-540 but basically all the same parts
+1 to that just as a regular thing to do but i think it might be the blade holder sometimes they go bad and do stuff like that.
try cleaning/blowing out the holder and putting a little oil in the hole where the blade goes.
just got some of the mactac bubble free stuff and it works/looks great but it's not cheap by any means. customer complained about the regular clear vinyl so we gave them the option and the price and they went for it.
i think the vinyl seam will be less noticeable then the aluminum seam but either way i don't think it matters since the last guy did it in two pieces of aluminum and the landlord had no problems

i will say that static cling always prints best on our uv printer as apposed to our eco-sol printers but we use slovex static cling. i get it from fellers and it prints fine
try avery hi-tack vinyl. i have gotten 15" rolls that are punched but only comes black or white that i know of. you can print on the white and laminate. the arlon pdf8000 brick vinyl might hold up better but doesn't come 15" punched (that stuff sticks to anything)
that's as good as it will get. and if you are digitally printing it and your customer wants and exact match just don't even bother. i think you can get close enough for what this needs to be. just the wear and fade from the weather alone will cause you not to be able to match it exactly. unless...
