How many installers are using the Cut On The Pull feature for your cutting software? Why is this feature needed? Is it just for thin static films or because the plotter isn't calibrated correctly? Curious to get some feedback.

Recently I bought a Rabbit plotter (HENGXING HX-1360).Does anyone by chance know where I can get or may have the driver for me to install for a Rabbit plotter (HENGXING HX-1360), so that I can use my Flexi 7.1 with the plotter? Any help will be greatly appreciated. It works fine with Artcut 2006 I believe RoShute had similar problem can RoShute help me. Thanks. Alfred

We're on a 30-day sample of SunTek TruCut, and ran into a small problem. I use mainly 40" rolls, and when I nest things to cut it utilizes an exact 40" box it's planning to cut on, when in reality because of the plotters rollers it's more like 38"ish. Does anyone know how to change the 40" roll setting to actual material width?

How do you feel about computercut software? I’ve been using it and have had several patterns cut too short. Really annoying. What is the best? I tried contacting expel but never got a response. I just need something that works every time. Tired of waisting film and time. Thank you in advance

my plotter seems to have increasingly common errors where the blade will cut a zigzag across the pattern or it will just start feeding out tint endlessly until it is manually stopped. do any of you have these issues?

So i have recently been looking at a Graphtec FC 9000 series. Also thinking about getting TintTek software. Any advice or other recommendations? I'm new to tinting but with my current job I don't have as much time to work on tint. I have racked up a decent amount of jobs and not enough time. I've been doing tint for about a year now and I have a good reputation and a constant flow of vehicles coming in from jobs I've previously done. I'm thinking about getting this to help me grow my business while also working another job. Any advice helps. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully I can get some help here. I have a shop where we do dent repair and we also have a graphtec plotter and occasionally do a few window tints. I don’t want to pay 1200 to 1500 a year for tint software yet because we haven’t brought in a lot of business for tint yet. Is there a software that is cheaper or something I can buy out right. Thanks

Hey what's up everyone. I am new to the tint business other then being exposed second hand. I've decided to dive into it, but I don't want to waste money. I already do paint/restorations, vinyl, spray wraps etc. Anyways, I've decided that I want to get a plotter for tints, and plan to bulk PPF. I am moving forward with SunTek products for both. My question is model and size of the plotter. After reading alot on here, graphtec seems to be the only brand to go with so I will just do that. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong. -

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
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?
