Polypropylene Printing

I am trying to print on 0.6 mm thick PP on a Roland VS-640 and I'm not sure where to start. There is not any documents for something so thick. Is it even possible to print on this material with this printer?

Any advise would help.

Is that anything like the old V-POP media line?
If so, we had limited success printing on it due to the fact that we couldn't get enough heat into it to take ink without huge dot gain, then too much heat would cause the PP to buckle and cause head strikes.
After than one job, we never printed on it again until we got our UV flatbed.
