i have mine done and they got it to apply pretty well to the dot matrix. on my receipt it says that they do not guarantee that the tint will adhere to the dot matrix, but they did it. i think the way they did it was to take the edge of the hard card and start pressing it into the gaps, then take a heat gun (or a hair dryer in your case probably) and use the heat to make the glue adhere. i've tried it before and that worked for me, but its really time consuming and starts to get on your nerves really quick.
