Slick Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 depends though slayer...I get more than 10. Of course I am only tinting the rear of the vehicle too, but depending if they get the whole car tinted the same %. If not, then you can easily get 10 cars out of a roll...

Slick Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Even when I was in Ont. (which has the most lenient tint laws in this country) the majority of the vehicles we did, had different levels on the front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSetKing Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 SSK- what kind of cars are you doing that have 50/60" long doors? or are you referring to both front and back together? Because last time i pulled out a ruler on a window(this morning) the front door was 37" and the rear was 23", on a 2011 taurus. So those two together would give you 60", but your post implies that "most doors" means each individual door.and as for "not giving advice", if you read what I said, its the EXACT same thing you said. that you shouldn't use 60" rolls on a plotter, you should use 40". and as TA posted, your "estimates" are ~20% off, which I was also going to mention. If you're using 42' off a 40" roll, you're not even getting 10 cars out of the roll, which is 350'. I can get more than that hand cutting, because as I already said, 10' is pretty generous when hand cutting. 36" for the front doors, 24" for the rear doors+quarters if it has em, and 5' for the BG, which is pretty generous, as I rarely get one over 4' wide. 10 cars = 1 roll is pretty standard for hand cutting If you would have read correctly (est) means its was an estimated amount, were including having to rotate patterns to fit as well. As for you giving advice on plotters cutting tint. You have NO experience. Let me remind you that this is what I do all day everyday, and when I was 16 to 27, I tinted cars, all day everyday. I honestly just think you like to see yourself post. Its really kinda sad how naive you are. Your surrounded by industry pros. Not a bunch of 21 year old mobile tinters. I know you have a shop now, but you still dont use a plotter to cut film, and you never have, so you have no business giving advice on it. The only post you pop up in these days are plotter post. You dont even know the size of the plotter you have. I can link you back to that thread if you want? So go post your plotter for sale and see if you get some bites and leave the plotter advice to the pros. Thats all I am going to post in regards to this with you. Arguing with you is like trying to explain qauntum theory to a special ed class in a detroit highschool. Not like I need to prove again to anyone that you are lost in this subject, but here is the link to you trying to sell your plotter claiming to be a 30" and after 10 exchanges you figure out its a 34". scooter's brain fart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scottydosnntkno Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 SSK- is it or is it not industry standard practice to name the plotters by the size they cut? my q100 is a "40" " plotter, but it accepts 48" media. I knew my USCutter is a 34", I never said it wasn't. Heres my quote from the thread when you said they don't make a 30" one "its a mh871, the 30/35" one." Its listed as a 34" plotter, but it cuts 30" media. and as for the special ed post, since my mom has been a special needs teacher for 37 years, IL+1 for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case I would be refering to my GX-500 as a 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, and a 48 all day. And you didnt know it was a 34", go read the thread . And I am not sure about your mom being a special ed teacher for 37 years, what I am sure is she has been for at least 21, cuz thats as long as you have been alive.
