Is it mandatory to shift film when cutting?
I stopped side shifting a long time ago. Today the only cut I'll make is the bottom and top edges. Sometimes I'll shift the bottom down before cutting the top if the inside door sweep is low. For the sides I'll use a marker or grease pencil to mark the edges and cut them out on my peel board. One small wiggle can cost a bunch of embarrassment if you gaff a rubber or scar the glass.- 1

PPF Cutting Software
The only software not tied to a specific film manufacturer that I'm aware of is TintTek. They offered both tint and PPF patterns, it's been a number of years since I used them so I can't say what the current pattern quality is but at the time I switched their PPF patterns were hit or miss depending on the application. -

Tablet software
I'm not 100% sure so take what I'm about to say with a large grain of salt but what I think you would need to do is have your computer hooked directly to your plotter with whatever software you're going to use and then enable remote access to that computer via your tablet and run it that way.- 1

What did you tint today?
Actually got to work on my personal vehicle for once. 5% over the back, 20% on the fronts, 70% on the windshield and 35% on the pano roof. Also tinted my rear taillights, third brake light as well as the front side headlight markers.- 3

Is it mandatory to shift film when cutting?
It is probably easier to go on youtube and watch some videos but I'll try to explain as best as I can. In a nutshell you want to cut one side of the rolldown, shift the film over by 6-8mm on the same side you just cut, cut the other edge and then shift it back to "center" it (same amount of overlap on both vertical edges), roll the window down and then do your final cut along the top edge. As long as there is no light gaps you are good to go.- 1

I’m in the learning process and many people shift there films quarter of a inch to the left or right. What does that do? I seen the tints on my car done by the dealer and the film doesn’t looked like it was shifted but there’s no light gaps either. -
