    Good morning, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to give me some help/advice.  I am new to Inkscape and everything is going fine with the design but when I send the project to my cutter (PixMax Mini).  what I see on screen cuts differently, when viewed on screen the  text is centred horizontally at the bottom of the page, but when cut, the cutter cuts the vinyl vertically down the right hand side of the vinyl sheet.

    Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    Kind Regards - Alan

    Could you clarify your question? It's not very clear what you exactly mean. Maybe a screenshot (or example file) could be helpful.

    Without knowing PixMax Mini, I do know that rendering SVG files happens with mixed success. As it's for cutting paths, maybe converting the text to paths may help you.

    Sorry when I write late. I saw it on the 26.6.2023 first.

    Which size has your file? Has it landscape or portrait?

    How big is the max cutting width?. Be careful, that 2 cm are missing on the left side too.

    I know from Refine and Vevor cutters, nearly the same as pixmax, something else.

    If your size in landscape paper is bigger than the max cutting width, the machine change to portrait automatically.

    With the dynamic offset under path, you can find the zero point where the cutter start cutting.

    Have you tried using Inkscape directly without Inkcut?
