sounds about right

yea i thought it was cool

flexi-sign aligns things pretty well.

WOW Jeff you should start a on line training seminar for graphics.

yea i thought it was cool

yea i thought it was cool

no i don't.....my head's not lodged in my azz.

Dude i use transfer tape for most of my plotted graphics , even tribal flames! What's your issue with transfer tape? Just because it's not your method doesn't make it wrong! Or make it better! It's just a different technique you use for applying!

I could sit here and bash him for using a plotter when I hand cut everything auto, because thats how auto tinting always has been, is custom hand crafted for each car, but you don't see me doing it.

Different strokes for different folks. Jeff and his plotter

Let’s just take a close look at this hack job you did on this windshield strip. If you look at the bottom that you tried to cut strait under the letter n but it dips up. AND the FORD logo is not strait as well that would not pass with me . I guess some people have different quality standards than others, and why are you always putting up looking pics scared to show the real quality of your work?? And yes I am sure you can do way better work than me as you are the Tinting master , does that make you feel better. And by the way you should eat something stick boy you look a little thin. And one more thing when is the next exciting video of yours coming out as I hear that TV show funniest videos is in need of new material. Just think how many people would see it dam you would be even more famous than you are now.

yea i thought it was cool

yea i thought it was cool

you tink i dont hand cut your a punk i work out of two places and use johnson at my home where i have to hand cut every car...
remember i didnt fry no amp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


these are both hand cut so you can kiss your own!!!!!!!!!


oh by the way mr dosnt know post some of your hand cut graphics....lol....or techniques...i just find it funny my techniques are beeing used..ha hahahahahhahahahhha

Ill go ahead and back Jeff up...
While you are hand cutting your graphics, or hand cutting your cars, Jeff has got three strips cut and installed compared to your one, b/c of his plotter. You are mobile. Carrying a plotter would not make sense for you. Should you get a real shop, and you were doing 6-10 cars a day, or doing vinyl or graphics, you'd consider a plotter. I started out hand cutting during MY first 5 years, and bought a plotter as a tool later on. Maybe YOU should stop being a tool.

your techniques? did i learn this stuff from you in 1989? funny i don't remember you being around i had 2 negative designs as POTWs years before you ever even joined this forum. you think you're shiat doesn't stink, but trust me....i can smell it from here.

man some people are so serious.

I meant that whole post as a joke, which I thought was how Mike was going at first. I didn't know he was serious, I thought this was a joke thread


i didn't fry any amps either?

trust me...it is

yea i thought it was cool

and it makes others understand how its done....

i thought this was a serious thread and you were getting all pissy haha

im still in the process of getting my plotter I got a while ago to cut tint. Right now its pumpin gout vinyl, but I've tried a little bit as practice, but it either doesnt cut all the way through, or cuts ALL the way through haha. I guess I need to pick up a 30 blade that would be a place to start. But I dont think I can use it for anything other than some small graphics, because it doesn't have non-marking rollers, it has the metal ones which would probably show up once the tint is installed. Vinyl, not such a big deal

on a side note, I'm pretty sure there were plotters back in 89

yes there was and i wasnt saying thier wasnt..blade didnt have one then...what my point was....and if he did it wanst for tint...back then they were used for vynal

*Pop Up Video Factoid*

In 1989 Jeff was 10 years old... While other chitlens were busy playing and having fun.... Jeff was busy perfecting his 'negative image'

mine has metal also which will leave marks...mine has two outside rollers the rest have been adjusted away so they dont touch. they are all adjustable so ill keep my rightside stationary and move the left one to change the size im cutting...i dodnt see anything wrong with the one you have besides not being able to adjust the preasure right...i have settings on both the blade and the plotter which you should also?

loll... thats a good one tts...but actualy i was making wooden paddle-wheel boats that were powered by rubber bands...would twist the rubber band and set it in the water and it would paddle itself threw the water...
factoid #2
that was at 5 years old...grand father was the biggest influence in my life and love him for that...i was in his wood shop everweekend since i was 4yrs old begging him so i could make somthing out of wood.

I have adjustments for everything like that too. My probelm is I have to use all three rollers otherwise it doesn't track right, which isn't a big deal since I just get a little line down the middle. My problem is with a 45 blade 20g is too light and 30g cuts all the way through, no matter how much I play with the blade depth. I'll figure it out eventually I'm sure.

i found that i could re-adjust the blade setting then got back and rest the grams and thats what worked for me....the track issue i wounld have also if i didnt baby sit my plotter on tint. and have a good nylon strip...

Hay Jeff ! What happened to that pic of you that was on here earlier ???



nevermind... found it!

Yes Scotty, got our first one 89-90. The software was DOS based we used. I remember a Gerber plotter then that I had seen in a Alabama ATD I worked 3 days at week. It had 3 or 4 fonts you typed into a screen on it(green and white -OLD school) and it cut it out. DINOSAUR!!!! We used to take a picture and tape it on the vinyl. trace over with a pencil, then cut out each color to make a graphic. This sounds like--- When I was A lad, we walked up hill to school, both ways! But its true....

its 2009 , You sound like those guys who still handpaint signs and call them selves real signmakers. Get with the times

And yes even on the car it is still not srait.and I was talking about the FORD logo I was not referring to the poor design placement for the word Racing.


Well Jeff as you did start this thread about windshield strips, I found this one you did so I thought you could explain why the smoke tint is so hacked up looking outlining the sides of the crown, and why the crown appears to look crooked. Do you care to elaborate on this?

And what’s with the edges of this one as the outside edges all jacked up As in not consistent around the outside of the logo?

laughing mike the camera that these are taken with wasnt even 1 mega pix..the poor camera would give you this impession ever time....i can promise in real life, you wont see any thing like that.....im gald your my only negative critick...thanks for your help

funny how i now for a fact the line on the building is straight...not sure how the pictures are get all jacked up, but they are all straight in real life...just not the pictures...the blue line on the building is proof!

so....a poor camera is going to give us the impression that the border around that ford logo is uneven in spots? it's not a poor camera dude, it's a poor cut job with your olfa. and he's not your only negative critic.

funny thing....when i was at tintdude's house this weekend he had 2 designs there. they were both negative image designs that looked like stained glass. first thing i asked him was when it was exactly that he got together with you so that you could teach him how to do those. i mean....after all, they are your techniques right?

dong

look at the building and how choppy it looks...never did i say i invented it.. you guys are way to funny...i can say i dont use transfer tape on tint and my negatives are done threw a plotter which is a different techniek on trasfer than what ive see you do untill receant...you both need to grow up!

and you need to learn how to spell

GROW UP MR PURPLE HEART!!!!!!

so much anger

WHAT ever JEFFY HACKAFORD

no anger, scotty just making a point

i never said anything about the building. i understand why THAT looks choppy. i'm asking about the uneven border around the ford logo. obviously a sloppy handcutting job. you can't pass that off as a poor camera.

yes and the fact that it a cell phone that takes the pics...yes this pic is zoom in and i can show other pics that are of the same image that are not choppy....alot of these are done the same way...i can promise that ive got lazy like you and use a plotter when i do backing for these logo...a plotter isnt perfect and niether are you.....look at your potw and see your happy gap at the bottom
