Hi @Dominik_Wrigley-Simo,
I can see that it is printing with Raster but not Vector.
I logged RH-88317/Text-Mask-Not-Masking-in-Vector-Output.
We will let you know here when there is a fix.

Also in reviewing your SystemInfo, we see your graphics driver is almost a year old:
Driver date: 8-31-2024 (M-D-Y). OpenGL Ver: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 538.92
Please get that updated to the latest nvidia driver when you have a chance.

Thank you for letting us know.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier

Great to hear, @Dominik_Wrigley-Simo.
You can use Raster output until the Vector issue is fixed

We will let you know here when there is a fix.
The updated driver will not solve this issue. It is just a good time to remind you to upgrade.

Thanks again.
Mary Ann Fugier
