Need Guidance - first time printing/installing - 3M IJ67 perf

I've had a request to cover some commercial windows with printed scenes.
My supplier provided me with 3M IJ67 and 8914 edge seal tape.

I have not done this before and will be my first experience.

My greatest concern in getting started is:

1) which Roland profile do I use?
(SolJet Pro II)
2) Raise print head?
3) Will it fit through the media clamps?
4) Temp and vacuum?
5) Cure time?

I have done some reading on application, though need more advice.

Thank you in advance :)

I print it on my Roland XR-640.
1. Use Your regular profile
2. No need to raise print head.
3. Runs through just like your regular vinyl.
4. Don't change temp or vacuum.
5. Print today cut tomorrow.

Processing went very well.
Supplier recommended not using a laminate and doing a dry install, however, would it not be easier wet?

This material is very forgiving because it's full of holes.
It takes longer to install wet.
Cut a couple of linear feet of material from the roll and practice on your front door/window or your cars back window.
Post a photo of finished job.

Joseph, we've been rained-out for days. Haven't installed yet, though will at first opportunity, then share images.

Finally - a good dry stable day for install.
My first experience with window perf and so glad I did it in the shady portion of the day.
A lot easier than I anticipated too.
However, I was eaten alive by swarms of mosquitos - have the welts to prove. Lol
Last photo is the edge-seal in ziplock baggy. I put a slit in the side of it to control feed the tape through.
Two more custom windows left to design for the customer.
