Hi Folks, Im just interested in what blades people are using to cut SolarGard Vortex. Im having trouble with not cutting enough and then cutting right though the backing sheet, very random cuts, also seams to be breaking tips off. I have sort of given up tryng to cut Vortex with the plotter but I have a job coming that I will need to cut a lot of the same shape windows. Have been using CleanCut blades. Any help will be very much appreciated Regards Olfaman

Aloha Friends, The choice of Vehicles here in Hawaii are Toyota's and Honda's very easy vehicles to hand-cut but for productivity and liability purposes I will be using a plotter. I would like to ask your opinion which software would have the best cuts for these makes and models if you have tried others. I have used Tinttek in the past but haven't in like 10 years. I appreciate it as times have changed. Mahalos,

Aloha Tinters, So I am wondering which of the two would be the best for tinting. I have owned a Q100 in the past and was wondering if those Jaguars were any better. Any input on this will help my selection when purchasing a new plotter. I love the way the Jaguars looks. Mahalos, 808 TINT

Hey Guys & Gals just found this wonderful site in some things we are searching today and joined up to ask our first question after no luck in the search bar. I was about to pull the trigger on a FC8600-160 to cut 60 inch rolls. we currently hand cut / bulk everything. over the weekend I found a smokin deal on a FC8000-130 for 700.00. you did read that right. its in near mint condition, saw a test cut and brought it to the shop this AM. Guy owned a sign shop and went to a 72 and wanted it out. Anyway, we were wanting to go 60 to cut 60 inch rolls. at this price i just couldn't pass it up, as our first plotter. I assume we should continue to use the 40inch rolls we've b…

How often are you guys replacing blade holders? My GCC Puma will cut awesome for about 2 months and then just start cutting like crap. I charge the blade holder and blade and it works fine for another 2 months. I was going to buy a Roland but the company says I will face the same issues with that as well. Thoughts?

Hello I am new to tinting and want to take a plunge into a plotter so I can quit taking so long to hand cut film and waste so much film. I am wanting to buy one that some one want to upgrade and just ready to dump theres. A little back ground my dad and I own a body shop in Columbia NC and its very small town and there is no one around to do window tint for 30 to 50 miles. So I picked it up as a way to fix the issue I was having of sending customers cars out without tint on a window that I replaced and making the customer deal with it. But I am no professional and I think a plotter will hone my skills I can do trucks and suvs perfect if I take the panel off cars are alway…

So I was given a graphtec 5100 that we used to use at work, it eventually started to track about 1/8th of an inch off of the pattern at the very end of the cut, I am completely new to Vinyl Cutters and I seriously need help I was wondering if anyone could point me in any directions for instructional videos, I have no idea if they still make blades for a plotter this old. Let me know what you guys think Ideally I would like to get it working and be able to cut my own decals at home. Thank you Kindly for any Instruction!

I couldn't find any good threads answering all my questions so figured I'd post one. We're finally going to need to get a tint plotter this year but don't know where to start. Are there any "popular" tint plotters? What kind of specs / equipment do I need to look for?

Sold. Thanks for looking!! Graphtec plotter for sale. This plotter is around 2 years old. Only used to cut window film.This machine was not used daily as it was at one of my customer accounts. In September the teflon cutting strip and blade were both replaced. Blade is Tinttek 20º and perfect for all window films. Includes an extra teflon strip still in the box, driver cd, graphtec OEM blade holder, and graphtec 60º blade never used. I have installed a very long USB cable which is included as well.

Wondering if any tinters out there are still losing local business for dealerships using DigiCut Systems. I am aware of the DigiCut trolls on this forum, and welcome the info they have to share as well...but I have some insight on these systems and the data servers they use and how the collection of data happens in their systems. It is more than just tinting customer info they collect...is anyone else aware of this?

Was over in the "Plotters and Cutting Systems" section and wow a lot to take in with all the software and plotters. I'm seeing what appears to be the same complaints in all the sections, not plotted out right, fighting the plotter. As of the current time I'm still in the looking stage, did I miss where there's a combo of plotter and software that has the highest accuracy? The monthly payment obligations seem to vary as well for software. I need it for the tint film but would like a system I can expand into other things if feasible. What's the hit and miss on these plotters? Are they running at 80% accurate or 95%? I'm looking at Graphtec FC8600 (40" or just bite and 60"?…

Tinting 15 yrs, never used a plotter, going into business full time in May and would like to have one. Customer mentioned he had a plotter that he bought for his wife to start a sign business a few years ago. She ended up going to work at the bank or something. Plotter has been setting in his basement. He bought it used as well and doesn't know much about it, said he saw it work before he bought it. I went and looked at it and it's a 48" Q100 which i'm told was made for sign warehouse by Graphtech. Guy wants a $1000 for it. I called TintTek to see if it would work with their software and they say it should. Just wondering what i should be looking out for. Its going to ne…
