Sadly not, you would need to export from Designer and import into your cutting machines software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Check the interface instructions for your vinyl cutter. You may be able to add it to your system as a printer, in which case you could simply ‘print’ to it.

The vinyl cutters / plotters I've used in the past need to receive vector line information via a PS rip. I've been trying to trick Designer to print Vectors and even CMYK for seven years with no luck - the official Affinity response of "just make a PDF and print via Acrobat" is a total "can't be arsed" cop out LetterBank, CLC and Alfred 2 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
