Can I print an SVG file with a household printer?

Sorry if that's a daft question; I have no idea what an svg file is 🤷‍♀️

Have you looked at the manual? They are often available online if you google the exact model.

It's not a format I'm familiar with either.

If it's not compatible, perhaps you could print a screenshot as a jpeg or copy and paste the text into a word doc?

Can you open it and save as a jpg? Or look up SVG converter and see if there’s anything that’ll convert it into an easier format?

Hmm, I'll have more of a look around and google to see what it says before I try it, thank you. I'm not at all familiar with them but have seen something I'm keen on making on Etsy.

If not, I'm sure there will be something similar as a jpg or pdf which I am familiar with.

The SVG file on etsy most likely comes with a .png format which you could print.

You can open an SVG on any computer - it will open up in a web browser and you can print from there.

SVG file format is for a cricut machine

You can import an SVG image into something like Word (I use Libre).
It prints fine.

I have no idea how to do that @XenoBitch so will google in the morning - I use libre too! A whole new crafting world would open up if I could print on my own printer!

You can print an svg, it's just a new image format for the web.

If your printer doesn't like it, screenshot it and print the screenshot
