Great for making sure svg files are exported correctly. Note: to add your own presets just edit the preset.py file in the extensions/blender_org/printing_helper/preset.py (at-least for linux). You have to restart Blender for changes to take affect. Tested in Blender 5.0 beta

That's a great idea; I think we should add more presets.
