...and not a tint on the schedule. So I got the shipment of my Precision cut FC8000 off the UPS truck, got it together, played with the software a bit. Nothing to tint though. Decide to strip and tint the shop van, went pretty smooth, cut with the wrong tip, but it was Greystone and it took it like a champ. Figured that out and about 4pm a guy shows up with a 2006 impreza, asked if we could do it today. Normally that would get a hell no, but I really wanted to try it out. Wasted a bit of tint figuring out setting the force, got it down, 4:30 me and my co-worker were pulling it out to dry. Literally start to finish 30 minutes, with some time spent re-cutting the rea…

I received my jaguar IV and am using Precision cut. The guy from llumar set up precision cut today and by the time he was done it was after 5 so he told me the rest was easy and if I had any questions to go to the help section. Well every time I try to hit the plot button i get the message "etccomx Must be registered to open connection" I am using a usb to serial converter because that is what was sent with it. I attempted to use the usb 2 cord but with the generic printer selected under plotter setup, which i have to use because the gcc jaguar is not an option, I am unable to select usb. My computer that has the precisioncut software installed and activated does not have…

I just wat to get the word out and let you all know, I have had nothing but problems with is product. May be 50% of the time you will get a roll up window to fill like it should. Most of the time the micro edge is way off. I also have a problem with the plotter cutting a simple square. It only cuts 3 sides. I have called plenty of times and have gotten no where. " Just the run around" people SAVE your money and go somewhere else. Just venting! KC

Been asking Precisioncut for a few features to add on there program 1-- On the page where you adjust the sunstrip have like a grid say 5" apart so you can measure the width off the sunstrip . 2- they need some basic commercial trucks like hino freightliner etc 3- on the rear doors put like a small bump on the bottom of the passenger door to easily tell the difference on those square doors. 4- Be able to make lettering arc into a sunstrip template. other PP users add there feature request . Lets all write an email asking them to add some of these features on .

bad cuts, short doors, wrong curves 1 2
by Guest Derek Medeiros- 11 replies

Recently came from tintek to precision cut, I've called in a few times in regards to bad plots, and basically was told its my fault. I'm getting lots of doors which are extremely short on both ends, forcing me to recut my doors and wasting tint, alot of back glasses are short on corners/edges. A lot of difficulty with 2014 jettas, front doors are cut awful, top edge does not line up at all, both ends are short, back glass ends up being short on corners... we have to older plotters, q42s both originally used with tintek, never had this severe of an issue, and getting very frustrating.

Well recently we've been having some problems with the new tinttek. If I edit the pattern at all (because they suck so much to begin with), the point to point will not connect. Sometime if it's a big change the cut (at point) could be as much as 1/2" off, making for a ruined pattern that no longer works. Llumar sent us a demo of Precisioncut. The owner is very weary of installing new programs and wasting film. How do the two programs compare in: - Patterns Working - Abilty to Edit - Vastness of Patterns - Up to Date Updates I wish we could just get rid of the programs all together but I think the other tinters would start a mutiny. Thanks.

New to Llumars PCS what are thoughts on this software? I’ve been a hand cutter for 18 years and love my works outcome but my volume and demand is increasing so figured I’d step up my game. So I just recently purchased a complete system from Llumar, I’m actually super embarrassed on the edges that the computer cuts and was seeing which software is more accurate in everyone elses opinion? I’m sure most customers could care less but I myself care what it looks like. Do I have to just except that these computer cut lines are garbage?

I had a few templates missing and i would call llumar and abuse them . To find out it was my fault. I always down load the tint patch for new templates. But PC said once a month to delete the tint registry and do a fresh full install .That way you dont miss any new templates. Love the PC templates though very precise.

Precision cut was working great and all the sudden stopped dead in my trax on a busy Saturday. Luckily I can hand cut... The program opens and I can open any car and see, select and put the pattern on the cut table, but every time you try to plot it reads the error LPT1::The system cannot find the file specified.

Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?
I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening. -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you -

Process
Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape? -

Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield
Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money! -

Boat window tinting tips
The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.- 1

Boat window tinting tips
Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!- 2
