Ok, let's clear up the rumors now. Last January Avery Dennison announced that it had reached and agreement with CCL Industries to sell two divisions for $500 million dollars. CCL Industries is a multibillion dollar public company. The sale closed yesterday on July 1, 2013. Nano-Fusion PPF is an important part of the growth for our division and will now be sold under the CCL corporation name. We just concluded a supply agreement with Tesla, as well as Lotus and several other automotive OEM's around the world as well as a strong presence in the aftermarket. Our division is an automotive OEM direct global supplier. We supply automotive OEM parts into nearly 60 countries. If you visit our website (www.nano-fusionppf.com) you will see the trade shows we will be attending as well as the free PPF training class (certification) we host around the USA as well as other countries. we also just recently launched "Nano-Fit PPF Patterns, at a flat monthly rate with no download fees. Please see the (www.nano-fitpatterns.com) website for more information. In short nano-Fusion PPF which was the first to provide a limited lifetime warranty is here to stay!

Hi Nano-Fusion guy... Can we get a name, and rank please?

An introduction of yourself on your first post would be nice.

Also, looking forward to seeing where you guys take the Nano film. Avery screwed the pooch for 3 years on that deal, so I'm hoping that you guys take it and run a straight road instead.

Looking quickly through the pattern availability, it looks like there are no 2014 patterns at this point, and some of the 2013's are pretty limited, but I'm assuming you are in the process of building a pattern inventory...? (I think there is only one Ferrari in your patterns...)

What restrictions will you have with the patterns? Does someone have to enter a film core number to use, or is it open to the public?

Finally, how does the pattern software work? Do the cutting commands come from your servers, or is the pattern database held on my computer? (Just wondering if a pattern is messed up if internet connection is lost during a cut... My internet sucks and isn't much I can do about it here)

My name is Phil and I have led the commercialization of the Nano-Fusion product line since its launch in 2010.

Meeting market demand has been a bit of a struggle to say the least since the launch.

We finalized some changes in the supply chain this past spring and have ramped up production.

The "Nano-Fit" software launched a couple of months ago and has been kept low key while we ramp up some of the newer patterns. A simple monthly flat rate and no download fees. So download as many as you want. Nano-Fit is the first to operate from the cloud. . . so there is no key or CD required to operate. Simply register, download the software and you are good to go. It is a month by month subscription so you can unsubscribe anytime you want. However once you unsubscribe any patterns saved on your computer will disapear. You can check out exactly what patterns are available prior signing-up by visiting the website. To be honest we will be light on the higher end cars as we focus more on the higher volume type cars.

You can also attend one of our free training classes to see it first hand or go to www.nano-fusionppf.com and ask for a free 30 daycode to try it out.

I hope this answers your questions.

After having installed the earlier version of Nano to what is being put out now... when are you going to get the quality of the film back from the earlier version? I have installed Nano since it came out. Was a great film and perfectly smooth. The Nano that is coming out now has A LOT of texture to it and tears very easily when removing it from the backing. I have installed 30+ kits on the new Tesla Model Ms and I am very disappointed. If you can get the film back to what it was before the shutdown then great. If not there is no way I can promote that film with the current issues. Just being truthful.

Just being truthful.

Sometimes the truth hurts. I didn't use enough of the nano to know when they changed it, but I did know there was difference in film from when Melissa was selling it.

I still want to hear some feed back on their Nano-fit patterns and their software offering.

not to pick you apart but how is it the first to operate from the cloud? Xpels DAP has been operating from an online database for years now.

Also we are spoiled up here in Canada because we only pay a flat rate for DAP not a flat rate + per cut. Albeit its $295 VS $49 but still has more patterns and such available.

Just wondering if there is something different to it.

Thanks

Dustin

      Help Needed! - Graphtec FC4100-75 - Software/Compatibility/Drivers/Communication/Blades/Setup

      Bump on this. I spoke with Film & Vinyl Design and the rep told me their cutting software contains the drivers for the Graphtec 4100 models. They also mentioned it will work with Windows 11. Any one have experience with this program, good or bad things to say about it?

      Need some help

      Push out all the air you can then… Heat up area with heat gun and use a hard card to press them down while everything is still fresh… don’t over heat prep work is key… you can also use masking tape on the gaskets and carefully peel the tape out once you have all the fingers out

      Help Needed! - Graphtec FC4100-75 - Software/Compatibility/Drivers/Communication/Blades/Setup

      Dano - thanks for the input. Like I mentioned, the drivers are no longer available online or through Graphtec. I found a company "DriverGuide" online that says they have the most current drivers called "Graphtec FC4100 Driver Update Utility" they swear it fixes common communication errors, printer head glitching and operates on Windows 11 - they want $30 for a 3 moth subscription to their data base and claim to have the driver but I have also heard there is the possibility of using either another Graphtec driver, or also depending on the cutting software the driver for the plotter may be included in the software. I know FlexFilm's cutting program supports an FC4100-75 but have never seen a review on their software, its capabilities/functions, or its overall accuracy. I do not want to trash a perfectly good plotter. So I am not just going to jump into buying another plotter if I can get the one I got for free one working. It was working fine with the previous owner for vinyl sign making, stenciling, and window tint I watched it work. As much as I would love a newer FC Plotter, there are cheaper options out there that compare and will work with my current computers.

      Help Needed! - Graphtec FC4100-75 - Software/Compatibility/Drivers/Communication/Blades/Setup

      1. Try switching the output language from the machine. It's either set on HPGL or HPPL. 2. Check to see that you have the right driver. 3. You may need to run Windows XP. 4. Toss that whole rig in the garbage and find a used FC 8000-130 or 160.

      Help Needed! - Graphtec FC4100-75 - Software/Compatibility/Drivers/Communication/Blades/Setup

      Hello all, I am new to owning a plotter and in need of some help. I recently inherited a working Graphtec FC4100-75 in amazing condition -near new - from a closing vinyl/tint business. It has a new cutting strip already installed and came with a blade (not sure what blade). The previous owner was using Tint-Tek and Flexi 6.1 on an archaic PC that cannot even connect to the internet anymore. As a side note I am not very tech savvy when it comes to terminology or linking the devices together, but I can read and comprehend things just fine. Part 1: I am trying to figure out how to get the Plotter properly connected and communicating to a new 2024 MacBook Pro M3 (OS Sonoma 14.4.1) or my 2022 Microsoft Surface Pro X (Windows 11) using the Serial-Com Port with a RS-232C adapter to USB-C. Currently I was able to get the plotter set up and even dialed in the test cutting properly for Vinyl and PPF with the blade it came with. On my old 2019 MacBook Air, I was also able to register the plotter as a "printer". At the time I had an active trial for Core just to test cutting capabilities, but it never cut any patterns once set up when I selected send to cut, it would only roll the material in/out. Since upgrading my Mac, I cannot get the Plotter to connect at all to the new Mac Book Pro - Have not tried with the Surface Pro yet - Need advise/help here, I was thinking of just designating the Surface Pro X to the shop if I can get it to work, but also happy go buy whatever will work (including a whole new PC with Windows 10). I am not able to find drivers for the plotter, so getting it to communicate properly is my main goal. Part 2: Knowing that this is an older legacy Graphtec plotter, I can imagine there isn't a ton of options out there that provide tint/ppf cuts that are compatible anymore and I need some help tracking down what will work best. As much as I love Core, I am not a high enough volume shop right now to spend what they want per month for both tint and ppf patterns - any solid alternatives that could work well? Avery VDT, Suntek, Llumar, or any ideas would help. I also plan to make custom vinyl decals so advice on other programs that work for this would help too, something like Digi-Cut, Flexi, or...? Part 3: Once I get everything set up and working properly, I am in need of some help picking out the right blades for cutting patterns for Carbon Tint, Ceramic Tint, PPF, & Vinyl. I can already set up all the specifics like Force, Speed, and Quality, but I am trying to figure out what blades I should be using with each material as there are a million options out there. I prefer Graphtec's Blades but I am coming from hand cutting everything. So not up to par on what works with what. Final Notes: I have read the entire Users Manual for the Plotter. Cover to cover, twice, and have only gotten this far. I spoke with Graphtec support but they did not have any help to offer, they told me it is an outdate model they no longer offer support with and recommended me asking around on forms or using a computer repair shop to get things connected. I spoke with a Computer Repair shop I have used for many things and they told me it would be $600 to $1,000 to have them come out just to get it connected to the computer and working properly. I am hoping with some guidance and industry knowledge here I can get it up and running for my business needs. I truly appreciate all the help I can get, otherwise I am just going to sell it and continue hand cutting everything (not ideal with the technologies we have available now-a-days). It really is like new and I'd hate to see it gone when I know there are answers. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

      It is all subjective. You can NOT get a real answer except for yourself.
