Hand Cut or Plotter Cut Windshield

[Aesop_Rock]

Hi,

I'm not a regular hand cutter but I do play one on TV. I have Film & Vinyl Design as my plotter software and have to do a 2017 Mustang windshield. Should I hand cut or plotter cut it?

Easy either way  cut around the matrix above the mirror if it's not in the software though

 Always hand cut the windshields

Plotted 3 series 4 door today, my hand cut would've been better. But it wasn't bad. (Windshield)

FVD I find the many of the front windshield patterns are incorrect, so I just hand job all of them.

we always hand cut windscreens and some back glass such as jetta, passat, 2006 era civics, and audi they always come off the plotter way to big.

Who's software are you using?

This drives me crazy. It's like the people that are making the patterns are just in such a hurry they just do a quick cut around and guess.

Ya some patterns are so far off you wonder if they even tested them before publishing them.

Yeah I decided to hand cut it. I think I'm going to do the same with rear windshields too. Sometimes I wonder why I bought a plotter.
