Smurf UK Cutter HWQ630 (allegedly but could be HWF630)

We have not got this working with Inkscape at the moment, but are having a fiddle.

The cutters are supplied with software which can't be moved between machines, hence trying to get inkscape or something similar to work in the first instance.

This appears to be a problem with inkscape which may be fixed in current versions, but apparently 0.92 was the last inkscape some plotters worked reliably on.

Alternative software which works with the cutter if we can't get the free version.
