harder than it looks 1 2

next door neighbor bought this, then had a bed cap put on it and wanted the stripes to run over the cap. no sweat right? bullshiat. it's damn near impossible to line up. the bed sides are angled toward the tailgate. which means the stripe would actually have to curve, to be "straight". make sense? if you do it straight, like I did, the lines on the stripes don't meet correctly. but I did it both ways, and this way was the least obvious.

I know plotters have been the subject of much discusion on this site and it has already helped me a lot, so thanks in advance I am looking in to buying a plotter for my tint shop, however it seems to me the biggest problem is going to be the software. I am a uk based company so im looking for british Vehicles. The only total solution I have found is Beakarts computer cut with software but they seem to be charging and arm, leg AND blood for both the plotter and software . I know the plotter can be bought for much, much less but I then still have the problem of the database. To be honest, I seem to be going round and round in circles. I want the plotter to cut vinynl as …

hey Guys.. I am mostly into PPF forum on here.. but I do a lto of tint for dealers.. But now I just got a plotter, and figured it would be cool to use for the tint as well.. I just never asked how to cut the film so you can lay it (the graphics) on the glass. What I am wondering is about which side to cut through and how deep to cut, etc. I'm not asking for a book about it, just the basics and I can figure out the rest.

A good friend of mind recently bought the Tint-Tek cutting system and software. He's not totally sold on it's effectiveness but he does see the potential for custom graphics. What program(s) do some of you recommend for someone just getting started? He'd like the ability to download and or scan images and have them layed out on tint for custom designs. Looking forward to your replies. Squeej.

Here's another new glass peeler I'm mounting on the wall. I had to do something to it. Couldn't just hang up a clear window. HPCharcoal 6 outline. Can't remember where I got the yellow (it was too long ago). Then Silver 20 over it. Oh...and it was a picture I printed out and then traced with my olfa. I'm not artistic enough to draw something out myself.
