![]() ![]() I have considered 3M Crystalline, but I have read that it can have an off color, but haven't found consistent answers on this. It doesn't seem to be common when I have searched. Maybe that is just in such a light shade, but it is the only picture I have found of the film installed. I have seen pics of it installed in 70% and it def gives a bit of an olive color. Some things I have read is that this has a bit of a green color to it and I am concerned this will not look right on a dark gray vehicle with black interior and black privacy glass everywhere else. My guy that I have used for 20+ years uses Ceramikool (solar control I believe). I would like the general color of the film to go with the factory privacy film (gray/black). For various reasons I am planning on going 35%-40%. I would like to go ceramic (Every other vehicle I have owned previously has had traditional dye film). even different motherboards within a machine series can vary some.I am in Houston and recently acquired a 21 GLS 450. Speed and force = slow enough to get good cuts and just enough force to just cut thru the vinyl - it is different for every machine, blade and vinyl. The lifting is more than likely too much blade exposure - how are you setting you blade depth? Oh, it is a fairly new blade used maybe 6 times on similar. I have attached a photo (hopefully) and yeah the pic is bad but I believe you will get the idea.' Should be able to see the lift ![]() But when it lifts it sticks to the laid vinyl and creates problems trying to remove because of the adhesion. In this case it is lifting the vinyl, appears the cut is good. I dont get it.Ĭan someone tell me explanation of Speed and force? At this time I am using (Titan3 15") Speed = 432, Force of 90g. Come back another time and it cuts and/or lifts the vinyl. Have an issue that I just dont understand- When I cut decal vinyl, one time it cuts good. Welcome to the forum (from Idaho) and you will soon be just as addicted as the rest of us. Each vinyl will be a little different so you will become familiar with the text cut feature and use it regularly. ![]() You should not be able to feel the cut from the back side. The Titans seem to be a solid machine so I think once you get it figured out you'll have a lot of fun with that thing.Ĭutting force I would start at 60 grams assuming Titans use grams and work up like Skeeters blade set instructions said until you are cutting through the vinyl and just barely leaving a mark on the backing. If that seems super slow compared to what you have seen on youtube then speed it up a bit. I don't know what the Titan has for speed nomenclature but if you do the math and pick 25% of the highest you will at least be safe. I run a top of the line cutter which has speeds available from 50mm/sec clear up to 800mm/sec and I run mine at 200 almost all the time and sometimes slow it down even more on precise cutting of tiny objects and text. There is no advantage to cutting faster other than actually finishing the job sooner and in fact on some cutters you can cause issues with the cut performance trying to blow and go. Skeeter always give great advice and her blade setting tutorial is becoming legendary on the forum.Įach cutter is going to be a little different and I don't own what you do but typically I recommend you run about 25 to 30% of maximum cutting speed at least until you learn enough to know what you are doing. You should only be cutting the vinyl and barely a mark on wax paper backing, Adjust blade to get there, Then put the blade holder back in machine, and use the force of the machine to get there, same results, only cutting the vinyl and barely a mark in wax paper backing. To start with, you should set your blade depth correctly, by taking the blade holder out of the machine, and firmly cut across a piece of scrap vinyl, you will be cutting. Unless you purchase a high end cutter from a sales person at a store, or take classes some where it is pretty much self learn.īut I will put this out here for you so you can set your blade correctly from the start. ![]() I think VinylMaster also has tutorials if you do searches for them,online. Most have HELP at the top of the layout screen, open it up and learn. So read the Titan 2 instruction manual Cutters are pretty basically the same, Just the buttons are different.Īny cutting and design software you will have to learn. ![]()
