As an inspiring window tinter who is looking for a new trade after I lost my job, I appreciate you. Thanks for teaching me about what a plotter is and how it works.
This made me feel more comfortable on plotters for sure!
I feel like it was painful for him to admit that plotters are cool at the end there lol... I'm excited to order mine now!
I have been debating if I should purchase a plotter...you just sold me.
This is the same plotter I use every day. I’m new to window tint and have been doing it for about four months. I’m looking for some advice on how to heat shrink
Where did you purchase the plotter I would love to start my own business as well
Nice That's a great plotter the GX 400 And Software love it one of the best , Brett and Brandon great guys. You will get the used to it and I will be a lot faster Couple of tricks do you have to learn you know in the run but you doing good.

Good evening sir

Please do my 1988 Chevy K1500! Hoping I can buy cut films for it!😊
Good video bro !!
What plotter do you recommend? GCC jaguar, Roland, motul or graphtec? Also how often are you actually using your plotter? Looks like this was a year ago so I’m interested in your feedback. Thanks!
Hey Ralph, great video. I currently use the gx 400 and was wondering if you know of any tricks to prevent the film from sticking while cutting as it happened in your video. I also use this machine for paint protection film and am having issues with the film tracking while its cutting the film. Any ideas how to prevent this?
When I use a plotter I have a table set up in front of it that supports the film. That keeps it from folding onto itself and sticking like it was doing in this video. I still stand next it to make sure nothing bad happens but that's what works for me.
This video help me out a lot thank you, I have a question Would a 53” plotter cut film for all cars SUV and trucks?
Yes.
@@FlexFilmPlus thank you sir, the board you have to cut the film against the wall what is that called and do you sale it?
So do you prefer hand cut or plotter?
Hey Ralph! We'll see you later. The winning team will be in Georgia today!
Where can I buy a plotter like this ? I really want to start a mobile tinting bussines.
Does the software come with plotter? Is there a yearly fee to have updates on new vehicle patterns?
How many for roland machine mr Ralph
Hey Ralph, I recently watched you tint a vehicle with “cheap” film, I’m pretty sure it was you. Anyway, what’s the advantage of using better film besides the purpling effect we see later? Does it simply lie down better? Look cleaner?
I recently used a cheaper film (I believe) I bought on eBay, and I can see on the film where I hear shrunk it... ?!?!?
Cheap film will cause trouble on every level. Usually make installation more difficult. Product usually does not look good. Product will begin to deteriorate rapidly from exposure to the sun. Peeling, cracking, fading, color change, and adhesive failure, etc.
What's the name of the plotter you are using?
I used the same software and for some reason it hasn’t been cutting the film to the correct dimensions of the car I’m doing, it’s off by a decent amount, is there a fix?
Yes there is...czcams.com/video/29Fpe3Y0TXA/video.html
How do you get the tint template for each vehicle?
We sell the software
How much do you charge?
@@FlexFilmPlus how much does the software cost?
@@FlexFilmPlus hows it going was looking on getting a plotter of course doing my research first does it have to be the gx 400 todo that software or any kind of plotter will do the software
Our software works with most plotters.
How is the best way to get the blade depth and force right for the film you are using without going through a lot of expensive film testing?
Use a test oval.
Awesome video! Been thinking about purchasing one too. Do you know if they’ll sell to the public or do you have to own a business in order to be able to own a plotter?
Anybody can have one and the software too!
What is the software and can you use the software with a smaller plotter from a different company
can we use other brand plotter
Yes. In most cases
Hey Ralph what was the model of that Roland plotter
GX-400
Very cool. I want one
still never heard back from you
I am not sure who this is? Can you call my cell? 770 401 5555.
Ralph you’re wasting time weeding like that. Put the pattern with the liner facing up and then cut on the edge of the pattern where the machine cut. Then do a cut outwards and now you can rip it at a 90 degree angle. Then all you’re left with is the pattern with liner ripped at the edge of the pattern. Hopefully that made sense.
I'm not sure I follow that???
I guess it was hard to explain. Basically with this method you’ll end up with a pattern that looks like you hand cut it. Lay the film liner up and make a 2” cut. Cutting the liner where the machine cut it on the tint side. Then go sideways and you have two tabs you can pull. If pulled at a 45 degree angle it will tear the liner exactly where the film was cut. With this method it’s super fat once you get the hang of it. An added benefit is when you’re shrinking you won’t get burnt liner like with the method you use to weed.

@@smookee408 guess this only works if you apply enough cut/blade pressure to heavily score the liner?
