      No matter what I do I can't get my inkscape file to vector cut on my local epilogue printer. I've read some places this is common with inkscape and the only way to actually vector a image is exporting it to different apps? My file isn't even a complex image either it's just 2d black and white to. I've tried looking everywhere and from what I can gather the general consensus is that there is no fix and it's a fairly common problem and to just suck it up and export it? It's even weirder because the file was vector cutting at a different place I sent it to whom just failed to scale it right. =/ I feel like inkscape should make this a easy and straight forward thing not this like impossible to figure out deal. It's like literally the entire end game purpose of their app XD

      You would need to use the pen tool to trace a shape over the person. Then select the shape and image and go to object--> clip-->set. You would need to export the result as png and then drag it back in to Inkscape. Then vectorize. Good luck!
