Got a new vinyl cutter
by Guest SIR TINTSALOT- 3 replies

I was able to trade my 24" Lynx to a friend for his 48" Graphtec!!! He owns a tattoo shop and called me over to set up his cutter. He had two and one didn't work at all, but the Graphtec worked fine. He said he wanted the smaller one to work cause the 48" took up too much room and he never cuts anything but small stickers for his walk in customers. So I pitched it to him and he was all for it. My Lynx was about 5 years old and well taken care of. I'm not too sure how old this beast is but it only has a parallel port and a rs-232 port which my laptop doesn't work with. But I got a old desktop I wanted to use for strictly signs and tint anyways so I'm pretty excited.…

i am cutting window film with a blue top holder and a clean cut 30degree blade but will be cutting paint protection film here shortly with a 45degree blade, and although i know it is meant for reflective films and such, is it necessary to have a red top hold for cutting paint protection film, or will my blue top holder do the job just fine? any input is greatly appreciated, thanks you!

Hey guys, I have been looking for a plotter. This will just be just to start off with. I really don't want to spend the money to buy a brand new one if a used one will suffice. I already did a search and could not find any info on this model. Locally, I have found a Graphtec ce 1000. The guy says it's around 5 years old. Im still in the process of getting more information from him so if you can think of some questions that I can ask him it would really help. Also, has anyone dealt with this model before and if so, did it do a good job. He is asking 5 hundred obo. Any help would be great. Thanks

I appreciate this community because learning this machine can be a challenge without prior experience. Recently, I purchased a GraphTec 5000-c60 and I was attempting to assemble the cutter. In the process, I was trying to insert the blade inside of the blade holder and the blue top is stuck and will not twist to adjust the blade. I am @ a stand still, can anyone assist to prevent me from purchasing a new blade holder for $100. Thank you Natural

Hey guys, I have a Graphtec CE3000 48 that encountered a problem the other day. I walked away for just a few seconds while it was cutting some windows out and when I got back the beginning of the roll had developed static cling and doubled up and the plotter pulled it back through the cutting area . Now, I cannot get the cutter to put enough force to cut through the film, although it scrapes the film, it doesn't go through it. Any suggestions?

Parting with my Graphtec FC7000-100 42" Cleveland
by Guest jyp007- 0 replies

Well, I have been doing signs and window tint and business is slow enough to call it quits. Therefore, I'm parting with my plotter Graphtec FC7000-100 42". I have several new blades and cutting strip. I'm asking for $2000 shipping will be extra. I'm near Cleveland Ohio. If you want to save shipping, you can always pick it up. The machine has served me well and hate to part with it but money is money. It's in excellent condition with custom built catch basket. I have used it primarily for cutting vinyls and occasionally tint. Used it with Flexi 8 pro and tint tek. If you're new to computer cutting I'll be happy to help you get going.

Graphtec 42" Plotter for Sale
by Guest thewiz- 2 replies
- 3.5k views
I have a Graphtec fc5100 100 42" plotter w/ stand for sale. I got into the PPF business last year and it obviously didn't take off like I hoped it would. The plotter has maybe 3 hours of cut time on it. Thats a complete guess, but I probably did 30 ppf kits and I cut a couple of harley decals for my dads trailer. This plotter retailed for $5995 plus shipping. I still have the original box it was shipped in, so I would be willing to ship the plotter. All I would charge is the actual shipping cost involved. The plotter and stand weight approx. 123lbs according to GRAPHTEC. I never registered the warrenty card. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO REGISTER IT AND HA…

Those of you that have one with the stand. By chance, do you know apx how large a roll can fit on this stand? Theres a product that minimal roll is 24" x 110 yards. Apx 25lbs I was wondering if it would sit on the rack behind the plotter (is it too big) and will the plotter be able to feed because of the roll being too heavy? Or would I just have to hand unroll the roll for the length of media desired?

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!! -

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.- 2

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?
