Any graphic designers using OSS I'll be very happy to > hear from you on what methods to use :) Slightly different field but: Gimp to produce digital artwork masters at 600dpi for etching to brass Own software to run verifier checks on them (line width etc) Inkscape to vectorise them if I need to cut matching paint masks, vinyl or styrene parts on a cutter What I'm a bit stuck on is a way to persuade inkscape to layer separate for vinyl cutting (eg if you are cutting a Linux penguin you don't want to cut a set of interlocking shapes but a black penguin outline with a white body on top [or indeed vice versa] and beak/feet on top of that).
