Need Help Canon Colorado and Avery vinyl is AWFUL

I don't know if it is the exact same link but they are from the Canon website, and also ones that tech support has sent me. Nothing looks good.

Just today we also tried Arlon SLX+, and you know what? Printed beautifully. Gloss is amazing, matte is amazing, flxfinish looks awesome, laminated like a dream, even the colors look better. Haven't wrapped with it yet or anything like that which is the next test.

Unfortunately that points to the material being the issue, which is what multiple people said both in this thread and the tech support from my distributor said. I don't understand how it can be an issue like this, as Avery is a big manufacturer and this is their flagship product, but my contact from Avery made it seem like Canon is unhelpful in this process and they are kind of stuck. Don't know how much of that is valid and true, but that's what I've heard so far. Disappointing if true - we have been primarily an Avery shop for years but maybe the future is Arlon. We really like Arlon's reflective line so we'll see!

It's difficult to optimize one product to work with multiple different chemistry. Once you start changing things you risk breaking all hell loose. Majority of wraps is still being printed using solvent and latex.
