Hello everyone,

Is anyone aware of any film cutting software that maximizes the efficiency of cutting security film or other films for large jobs such as 200 panes to 1000 panes? Having to figure the most efficient way to cut large security film jobs is very time consuming and hard to keep up with when work is busy. I understand a formula of this magnitude is very difficult but if anyone has a formula that they use on a coding software or any other programs I would be happy to discuss buying options. Thanks in advance. Any input on how all of you are taking on cutting jobs of large quantities would be greatly appreciated.

I am needing advice on this film.  I have a pretty big job with this film and having trouble laying big pieces.  The size of the glass is 48” x 103” and I cannot get it to lay down without finger.  The glass is bending due to being frameless so that is why I am thinking it won’t lay without finger.  I also lower my solution with a drop of dawn and it still dont work. It will stick no problem on smaller size glass 48” x 36”....advice please...maybe it won’t stick due to thickness.

How did you cut the product? We have had issues as wel in the past.

what film are you currently using right now? i'm guessing Lulu since you got precision cut.

actually we use Xpel right now but are going to carry llumars new PPF film... It seems like a great film as well.

We do use Llumar auto films and Llumar/vista commerical/residential films.

I'd say yes, as the best way to get more business is by putting out the best work possible to build a reputation.

Further, I would argue that the main sticking point is not that it is too expensive, but that you feel that you lack the volume to spread the cost out.  If you are using XPEL film and certified, our rep would be happy to help you boost that monthly volume.

When you grow, we grow, so it works out well.

 

Does the DAP software have mounting tips? Like numbered 1-6 or so? What is the average amount of coverage patterns it has per vehicle?  The whole vehicle? Or just basic stuff generally?

Thanks for the quick responses Jeff. We will be making a decision soon.

Is your primary need quality patterns or the best price?

From my understanding DAP has best patterns out there. The problem is that we only do about 5-10 installs per month at the moment, sometimes even less but we are pushing to do more in the near future. So if we were at 5 installs per month is the DAP program worth it for money?

the film vinyl designs is pretty good. The window tint patterns are real good, Paint protections ok, never comparable to DAP.

 

The biggest  reason i like FVD more then precision cut is because FVD offers smoother lines, less nodes. The precision cut pattern is filled and saturated with extra useless nodes. The blade has to keep lifting and readjusting, going back and fourth. by the end of it u got alot of rough edges on the pattern.

Thanks for the response I'll look into FVD. 

Hey guys,

For the past couple years I have been using LLumars precision cut patterns. Looking to upgrade to another software due to their patterns having limited options and being difficult to install. 

Thanks
