Is there any print enabled graphic design software?

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).
