The gear and the brush are not punched out of the background. You might be better off just exporting the whole thing as a PDF.Īs it stands, this file has lots of issues. Here is one I made for you, but it might not be what you want. I would do it for you, but I don’t have your fonts installed and that makes it the wrong size.ĭo you want a score outlined around the text as you have or do you want them engraved? Then you need to do a difference with the object to punch out the white from the darker background. Perhaps you want to keep the text editable. You will have to get the pixel count correct to correspond to what Inkscape version resolution you are using. The PNG export DPI doesn’t correspond to the Glowforge LPI as you noted. Then for the cuts, define a stroke color and no fill color. Just fill the objects that you want engraved with no defined stroke color. Welcome to the forum I am curious as to why you are doing two exports? The one SVG file, if natively made in Inkscape can be both a cut/score and an engrave. All of them are downloadable & usable gratis:
If you open the SVG to test this issue, the file won’t display correctly unless you have the fonts that were used. We’ve tried other combinations of file format also, but this one (PDF for cut + PNG for engrave) seems to come the closest to working correctly. (We had tried 225 dpi at first, because GFUI defaults to interpolating the PNG to 225 lines per inch.) We looked on the forum for problems similar to ours, but the only thing that jumped out at us was to use 96 dpi for the PNG. We can successfully print-&-cut designs from the Glowforge catalog. So calibration & other machine issues have nothing to do with this. This problem occurs even when we log into GFUI from a computer that isn’t connected to the Glowforge machine. Instead, we’d like to know how to export file(s) from Inkscape so that the cut & engrave images superimpose on each other the same scale factor in GFUI so the print-&-cut will happen correctly. To get the print-&-cut to work right, we would need to rescale one or the other image manually in GFUI (the PNG, I think). When we import the PDF & PNG into GFUI, the files appear mostly correctly except that the PDF & PNG are at 2 different scale factors.
