justn8 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Anybody else with TintTek find that their sunstrip patterns are mediocre at best? Half the time I cut them, they suck. I wish I knew who designs a lot of their stuff, because clearly it's not an installer. I always hated sunstrips but with the plotter it was supposed to make them an easy add on, but they just enrage me pretty often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh812 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I don't use tint tek but I'd say 90% of the patterns I still have to cut. I mainly use it for that contour curve and cut the top portion off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highplains Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Of the TintTek patterns I have issues with I'd say 95% are the sunstrip patterns. I've noticed that most of the time it's for a Chrysler product as well, those patterns just always seem to be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintWizard Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yes there are some I just cut my own and wondered where they got the pattern from. Not a large amount but there are some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midtown Houston Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think all the visor pattern are off on all of the software....especially for suv and truck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintmaster08 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've used them all and TintTek in my opinion is the worst software for patterns period. Almost every single one has to be trimmed or just doesn't fit. I use Computercut which has their problems but no where near TintTek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Film_Pro Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Same with many from film and vinyl design. Crazy of the wall sun strips that don't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justn8 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I just believe that if you pay for a service... you should get a 'to the best of their ability' result... or some line where I pretend to care. Whatever. Do the damn patterns right. Hell, if they're already crap, credit me and pay the postage and I'll mail you the template so you can digitize it and enter it. Not my job, but it's my material and my time while I'm paying for that convenience. Some are so bad, I can't even figure out how they came up with it. And it's always when you're very busy or hoping it does what it's supposed to. I feel like if a lot of PPF patterns can be accurate, and there's so many components involved such as stretch, installation order, etc., why can't window patterns be correct?

When the new Cherokee's came out, they were horrible for awhile, and I couldn't figure out who made them, and then who put them in thinking that's ok. And basically all the Dodge/Chrysler sun strips I've come across have been horrible. I'm not trying to be a little bitch here but... it is what you pay for so...
