cut from Inkscape
Engraving/rasters from Inkscape works, but cutting/vectors doesn't work natively. (epilog goes straight to "done")
Found a reference somewhere that this has to do with the printer driver subsystem. (reference?)
To cut an Inkscape design:
- set stroke style width to 0.001
- File menu, save-as, pdf
- check "convert text-to-paths"
- save
- open PDF file
- print as usual
eliminate the "fog" around things
Alexander's calgary flames had a fog around them - why? when looking how to print from Inkscape I found some info about this... some people called it a "halo"; didn't find out what the solution is.
Materials/Speed/Power settings
- 65/5/500 works for white and brown paper
- little more oomph, I had to separate some spots manually, but they may have been out of focus
