I just tried with Norton Internet Security disabled. It worked. I'd guess their site is trying to snoop and learn a little about the computers trying to connect. If so, it's not worth it.

Norton internet security will also block pages for simply having an image with words like "banner" or advertising related words in their name. It can be a little too protective at times. It does not mean that the site is trying to snoop on you.

Graphtec is the upper end in vinyl cutters and well worth the price. A friend purchased the Master $495 cutter, after seeing it and comparing to my Graphtec he is not a happy camper. Circle and diaginal cuts are very poor and cutting letting under 1/2" is a waste of time and it is very slow. The software is very limited, basically the Flexisign demo package with a driver for the cutter.

Software for vinyl cutting is another story, Corel isn't the answer with out addons like cocut. ScanVec's Flexisign Pro is the better product if you plan on doing anything more than basic lettering, but's it's 3K+. Flexisign Pro has the best scanning to vector conversion that I have ever seen. The difference between it and Corel X3 trace is like night and day. I guess it goes back to you get what you pay for.

just tried to go to the home page, not a sub-page, and it didn't work either. I'd hate to not have access to such a resourse.


Ken,

I have no idea what I can do to solve the problem BUT I'm happy to point you directly to the Graphtec site at http://www.graphtecusa.com/indeximaging.php

Does that link/site work for you?

I'll check with the technical guys here to see if they have any ideas on why you're "locked out" of our site. I assure you it's not intentional! :-(

Jeanette,

Your's is the only site I've come across that doesn't work. It does work if I disable Norton Internet Secutity. (I do not have the parental controls loaded/running on this computer.) I'm currious if your tech person comes up with anything.

I'm not currently in the market for one, but with the discussion on low price quality cutters, I was curious how much one costs?

The range on the Graphtec systems is $1800 (for the economy model) up to $6000-ish.

I'll let you know if the guys come up with anything at the technical end.

Jeanette, You make me feel bad now, I just bought a FC7000-75 two weeks ago. I did not know you sold them. I would have given you the sale.

No problem. It's not one of our "main line" pieces of equipment -- we started carrying the line as a service to our customers who needed a "complete sign-making package".

Perhaps our new website will help us let folks know we carry these.
