Do you require a plotter to tint?

Using a plotter for your window tinting business can offer several significant advantages, especially in terms of efficiency and precision.

 

Plotters automate the cutting process, allowing you to create perfect, customized tint patterns for each vehicle with minimal manual effort. With a plotter, you can streamline production, reduce material waste, and improve turnaround times, ultimately increasing your business’s profitability. Additionally, the ability to store and reuse patterns for different vehicle makes and models further enhances operational efficiency.

 

However, there are also some downsides to consider when incorporating a plotter into your window tinting business. The initial cost of purchasing a high-quality plotter can be substantial, and there may be ongoing maintenance and software updates required to keep the machine running smoothly. Plotters also require a certain level of technical skill to operate, which means your team may need additional training. While plotters are great for producing standard cuts quickly, they may not be as effective for custom, one-off jobs that require a high level of detail or unique shapes. As a result, businesses must weigh the cost and complexity of the equipment against its potential to streamline operations and increase output. As well, plotter softwares can be behind or even missing patterns for certain vehicles.

 

Personally, when you are starting out, a plotter is not needed, and all cars can be hand cut, saving you time and money.

 

To this day, I still hand cut every single window and in our course, we focus on hand cutting so you can instal any window that comes your way!
