Output to devices

[Tabian]

I have been using Xara for about a year now and I find it so fast and easy to use but as a sign maker it does have some vital limitations. It would be really neat if Xara could output paths for vinyl cutting and what is more important output to a RIP for large format printing.
I can export text and shapes to AI or EPS for plotter cutting as long as there are no effects added. However when it comes to fades and rasters which get used a lot for my large format print work I have to export as PNG or JPEG. This is OK to a degree but the sizes that I have to print some of the jobs show ugly pixel edges to text and what should be nice crisp vectored shapes.
My question is, is there anything in the pipeline that could go some way to solving this problem?
