    Does anyone do Clear Bra ?

    I am looking to buy a cutting printer but not sure which one to buy this is new to me I have following questions

    What printer is best for cutting vinyl for clear bra?

    What else can you cut/print with that expensive printer?

    Do you know where to lease it ?



    So far I have found that Graphtech is a good brand to buy for these cuts, not sure which size to buy though I had my eye on the 7000 which runs for about $1,800

    Graphtec CE7000-60 E-Class Desktop Vinyl Cutter and Plotter, 24"

    Do free hand cuts and roll the edges.

    It's where you put a piece just larger than the panel on it then you cut by hand how big it is then you tuck the edges in behind the panels to hide the uneven cutting lol.
    Are you doing this for money or just for yourself? If for yourself, you can probably contact Gyeon and get an exact cut made for your own car for whatever panel you want.
    If you're doing this for money, free hand cutting is easier to make money.

    Myself personally, just because of how many PPF installers will cut PPF on the paint itself, I won't use a shop unless they use a printed one.

    Oh ok makes sense, and I did it for my family brother sister cars and have gotten so much better. So I am thinking of starting to charge, I first have to get at least 5 more practices so I have my friends already lined up
