I just got a ULS Versalaser VL200, and my WinXP 32-bit laptop running Inkscape does not print 'vector cuts' (just raster) with any stroke width including 0.001mm. Please provide some more info - if possible post a 'probematic' SVG file plus printer output. (From personal experience - in nine out of ten cases these problems can be attributed to 'PEBKAC' - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair!

In the graphics software to 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) or the smallest possible line thickness available. If laser cutting is desired, set the line thickness of the lines that are drawn

Still another way to test the output is to install a plotter simulator- there are several free versions on the net. You will the be asked for a file name when printing.Īfter printing open this file with your favorite text editor and look at the commands.Īll cutting is done after the 'PD' commands (Pen Down). Add a printer, - File - Generic - Text Only. You will then be able to see if the correct line thickness for cuts are sent to your LC.Īnother way to analyze the output is to print to a file. If yes - it would be easy to install a 'serial sniffer' program which enables you to look at the commands being sent to the cutter.

Is the communication between the LC and PC serial? This is easy to test by sending a file to the LC (laser cutter) with 'hand-made' commands. If yes the problem lies 'within' Inkscape - either in your Inkscape cutter extension or the SVG file itself. What model LC? What OS? Which Inkscape version? Which extension version?ĭoes it print correctly from other applications? ULS wasn't much help for inkscape as it works from PDF/corel draw/etc.įor this type of problem I would use the 'binary search' method, eliminating one piece of the 'system' at a time.Ī little more info about your laser system would be nice. ULS says any shape or path set to stroke style of 0.003mm with RGB 255,0,0 should show up as cuts. Yet regardless of the line width, I either get a black rastered line or no lines at all (<0.003mm) Everything else is looked at as a raster.

According to ULS, anything under 0.005mm (and RED) will be vector cut. For the PDFs, 0.003mm seems to be the best size. I've checked all the inkscape settings (printing in Vector mode not raster) and tried every possible combation of stroke widths. It's really a big pain to have to export every file to PDF, then open/print it in AA. However, if I save a copy as PDF, then print from Adobe Acrobat, the vector lines are correctly shown as cuts and in red. Yet they always come up rastered in the ULS software after hitting print. I've set my path stroke lines to RGB (255,0,0) and line width of 0.003mm all the way to 0.001mm. I've been trying for two years without success to get my ULS Laser cutter to work directly from inkscape.
