I have a vinyl express Q series and it’s not cutting great. I use SunTek HP, Carbon, and STD Pro. Sometimes it doesn’t cut deep enough and other times too deep, all on the same pattern. What should my settings be?

Hey guys. I bought a used plotter and got screwed big time. VE Q42 with computercut software. It’s one thing after another. Finally got it cutting but now it’s only cutting straight lines it will not do anything curved or round. Is it the blade holder or could it be something else? Any help is most definitely appreciated.

Is there certain settings and accessories I should be using? Not too sure if I have the correct blase and cutting strip as well. Thank You

Hi: Client needs stencil cut - I've never done stencil. I purchased Ultra Cut 8mil polyethylene. Cutting on a Q54 - FelxiSign Pro software. SO - using the Q54 manual I set a condition which seemed appropriate to the material. Test cut - beautiful. Pressed send with FlexiSign won't cut deep enough. It's almost as if Flexi overrides the Condition. Frustrated. Help.

I'm selling my Q-42 vinly cutter. It is less then four weeks old. Works fantastic cuts a whole car in less then 3 mins. Cuts vinly stickers smoothly. The reason I'm selling is because I can not get a single car or truck done without redo such as hair in the tint and or dust. Also business in my small town is slow, making it hard to justify having a plotter. Plotter has the stand with no basket Plotter comes with tint tek 20/20 cd Plotter comes with tint blade Plotter comes with vinly blade Can take video of the plotter cutting film I'm asking $3,600 obo Once again it's a q42, less then 4 weeks old.

Vinyl Express Qe-60
by Guest puffhead- 1 reply
- 2.6k views
Has anyone heard of and/or used a Vinyl Express Qe-60 24" vinyl cutter? I cut cut stencils out of Mactac or Oracal translucent vinyl for painters. I now have access to a Summa S75 30" vinyl cutter but need something smaller for a home studio. I need something to plot pretty detailed vector images. I am also looking at a Roland 24" cutter but the Qe-60 looks just as good though less expensive. Is this a cheap machine?

30" Vinyl Express Panther plotter and LXi Master Plus sign-making software for sale. Includes all disks, manuals, cables, and boxes. Tech support can be transfered through SignWarehouse for $250. Posted to Ebay with a very low reserve. This machine is just over 3 years old, purchased brand new from SignWarehouse. It's a really nice machine, just a bit dusty. Only selling because we recently updated our equipment to include a 38" printer and laminator. Works fine and will make the right person a lot of money.

Auto window tint claims/performance question
You don't. You trust the shop or you don't. Do you question everything like this? Did I get an Angus steak? Was it US or Mexico? Was it really an 8 oz or was it 7.8 oz? -

Auto window tint claims/performance question
Thank you for the explanation gentlemen. I definitely learned something new today. As a average consumer, say you pay for a specific type/brand of tint but after you get the car back, how does one knows that tint on the car is what you asked for? Thank you again. -

Help me pick?!
How long the shop has been around helps but the work they do is more telling. There are shops I know that have been "around" longer than I have but I was killing them in quality from the start. Here I am 24 years in. Go look at the work they do. -

Auto window tint claims/performance question
So you aren't measuring IR but a generic "solar heat". I've got the old analog btu meter and it was a cool tool but I don't use it and have not for probably 20 years. You are way overthinking this.- 1

Hey guys, correct if I'm wrong but isn't " V-Kool " a gimmick film. Apparently something about it reflects IR instead of absorbing it ?? Any knowledge on this film? -

How -tough- is the scratch coat
On a SUV, when u have it loaded up, and you know when something/somethings will touch the back glass (if tinted), I often throw a mover towels ontop as I have definately replaced rear tint in this due to it getting scratched.... Which got me thinking or over -thinking. Movers towel while not hard is not exactly soft... Do I need to throw a *soft* microfiber towel on it so if it rubs against the back glass, it won't scratch the tint. -

What is the best value plotter to cut PPF and window tints?
I just purchased a warehouse to open up a wrap shop to apply PPFs, window tints, and vinyl wraps to customer vehicles. What is the best value plotter to get? I want something that will be reliable, has a really good software that is easy to use and saves film, and something that would break the bank. Ive heard of brands like the Workhorse 2, Graphtec fc9000, and Jaguar V LX 72". What do you guys recommend?! Thank you so much for the help! -
