Specs

Smurf UK Cutter HWQ630 (allegedly but could be HWF630)

Software

The space has purchased a licence for EasyCutStudio. It is installed on PC6

Item on Loan

The hardware is on loan from Lel.

Inkscape

We have not got this working with Inkscape at the moment, but are having a fiddle. If you do manage to get this working with it, please let us know. (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.
