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…

Does anyone have any experience with these? I have the opportunity to pick a used one up very cheap but don't want to waste my time or money if it won't cut Tint.

We recently just started using a dyed film & absolutely love it (qdp) the only problem is the static problem with the plotter its anti-static liner well it shocked a button on my graphtec fc7000. We have never had a static problem before with any other film. Now we have a button on our plotter that nolonger works, we'll were getting the plotter fixed in the meantime any ideas on how to kill the static I really want to keep this film! I've heard about the copper strip from beakart but we dont' buy from them? Any input would be great.

I know this has been asked and everyone has a different opinion but I'm going to ask anyways. We have a 40" DGI that has timed out and we want to upgrade. The DGI is a work horse for sure but we are having tracking issues and uneven cutting (yes I have replaced cut strips/ blades). We use computer cut and they are recommending the Jaguar which is a decent price but wanted to get input if anyone has been using one. I like the 72" option on it but not sure if it's over kill. We do a good amount of flat but mainly solar not much deco. I have seen a few people recommend the Graphtec also, why is it better? Any info is appreciated. We are also getting into PPF so that is …

I have a brand new plotter used literally maybe 10 times I need to sell. The business went in a different direction so now I need to sell this. I purchased it on 11/8/2016 nothing is wrong with it comes with 5 tint blades 4 unused 1 blade used to cut out maybe 20 cars worth not a lot comes with a vinyl blade as well have the stand and basket for it as well. I can send pictures and proof of purchase date. I'm firm on my price but it's a steal for who ever purchases it. I'm willing to ship but shipping has to be covered by purchaser. $2500 takes it all. Please text me because that's the easiest way to get in touch with me 2672945037.

Hello all I've got our original plotter I purchased in 03 when we added PPF into the business. It works the same as it did when we got it but we upgraded years ago and again just recently and it's just in the way anymore. I have no idea what it's worth being that it's 13 years old. I would appreciate any advice or information on where I can find interest other than a place like this. We are in Pa. It is in my dining room at the moment and if I can't find someone to buy this thing I'm going to have a peeved off wife.

Please forgive me if this sounds off. But with the world of tech changing, I didn't know if there might be apps that I could use from my tablet to my plotter. I work at a dealership and my computer doesn't allow anything but what's installed. I was looking for something like vector magic or similar programs. Again, sorry if it sounds dumb. I just had to ask.

Hello peeps, I am running Composer software from Omega to run our 60" Summa plotter.It has a security USB dongle which has been damaged and is just holding on by a thread... actually it's duct taped to the computer so it won't move. I am desperately seeking a replacement without having to buy a new licence. The vendor will send me a temporary replacement and we would send the original for repair ($700) ouch! Any advice or help would be much appreciated! thanks gang

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?
