Cricut’s Print Then Cut is a wonderful feature for us crafters, as it lets us print and cut out an image perfectly, but for a long time now we’ve been fenced in by some rather small size limitations. But I have GREAT news! We can now print up to 10.64 by 15.43 INCHES, all the way up to tabloid and A3 size paper! That’s like over 163 square inches of glorious print then cut space. These changes are in a new version of Cricut Design Space for Desktop - version 7.27 - which is now in beta.
So let me show you how to get access the larger print then cut features! Let’s start with this pretty watercolor Easter Egg I made - you can get it free over at jennifermaker.com/473. Now before this update, our size limitation was 6.75” wide by 9.25” tall, which I have this egg sized to fit within right now. If I click the Make It button right now, you’ll see how the egg fits within the registration marks - and while I can move it within this area, you can see there’s a bunch of wasted space here. Clearly, this egg could fill this space MUCH better at the top and the sides. I mean, it looks like this Easter Egg could be as wide as 8 inches wide, but we can’t get it wider! I know this has been frustrating for many of us!
But NOW we have better options! With the updated Cricut Design Space software, the Print Then Cut size has been increased! So I will resize this egg a bit and you can see that it can go a bit bigger! It’s not a lot bigger, but hang in there, because I have more tips on getting it bigger.
First tip - you can make this Easter Egg large enough to fill the available space on your page. To show you how this works, I’ll widen my image to 8 inches. Now when I go to click Make It, I’m still told that my image is too large. But, hang on, let’s check the warning message over in the layers panel - the little red icon. This gives us the option to Auto Resize it to the best size. If I click that, here’s what I get - a bigger Easter Egg that now fits in that whole space! I love it!
So Print Then Cut tip #1 - if you have a shape that you believe could fit into the space better, make it larger on your Canvas, then allow Cricut to Auto Resize it for you to get the MAXIMUM size!! Isn’t that cool? This tip will work for both single images and groups of images you’ve attached!
Change this Easter Egg to way bigger, like 17" tall. That would have been impossible to do before, which was a bummer if you had a printer that could print that large. But now, we have options. When we go to print this, we get a message that says it’s too large, BUT, we can either do an auto-size or we can change our paper size. And look how big we can go! So let’s select 11 x 17" tabloid size.
Tip #2 - choose a larger page size if you have a large-format printer.
If you regularly print these big sizes, you can go into your settings up at the hamburger menu in the top left corner, then click settings, then click Load Type, and change your Print Then Cut Page Size to your typical size. If you change it to 11 x 17, then when you choose the Auto Resize option, it’ll resize to fit.
If you’re new to using these updated Print Then Cut settings, you’ll need to calibrate your Cricut again -- check out my video at jennifermaker.com/calibration
Anyone can try out the new features in beta by opening Cricut Design Space, clicking the hamburger menu in the upper left corner, selecting Settings, and choosing “Beta” under Application Experience, then click Done.
If you want to use my pretty watercolor egg picture, it’s free at jennifermaker.com/473.

This is a wonderful change! So glad that Cricut has finally listened to it’s users, it has always seemed like such a waste of materials when using print then cut. Thanks so much Jennifer for getting this information out to us so early!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are welcome!🥰

[@sisicimino6606]

This is great news!! So many waisted space before!! Thank you for the update Jennifer!!!😊❤

[@JenniferMaker]

I know, its so Great!💗

[@wildflower868]

Thank you! I just watched several videos on this new update, and you were the only one to show that you can print a bigger image on an 8.5 x 11 paper, thus having less waste. Everyone else was focused on the new, huge sizes that can be made. That's great too, but I'm very happy to know I can now waste way less of my expensive sticker paper!

[@JenniferMaker]

you are welcome🥰

[@latriciayoung3283]

I am super excited. I just sent an email to cricut this morning, requesting for larger sizes because when I do sublimation I need larger sizes and did not want to have to continue to use another software to do my designs. So grateful you’re sharing this just in time.😉🥰

[@JenniferMaker]

perfect timing🥰

[@janicebaker58]

I was really excited by this update as I use print then cut all the time. Being able to make bigger prints is fabulous. My hope is that they will also soon add the option to use print then cut on SMALLER page sizes too. Sometimes I want to print and cut a handful of decoupage pieces, and don't want to waste a full sheet of letter size paper (or try to find other images to fill up the space) Imagine if we could use our 5X7 or 4X6 photo paper sheets. That would be great!

[@JenniferMaker]

that would be nice!🥰

[@marydonnell5178]

Jennifer, This is super news. Thank you for all you do for us in the Cricut family. When I first got my cricut 2 years ago I was fortunate to find your page and all the free tutorials. I learned so much from you and I am so grateful for all you have taught me. I have recommended your site to so many of my friends and family. I can't say enough about what you have taught us all. Again, thank you. Mary D

[@JenniferMaker]

[@GinaBinMichigan]

QUESTION PLEASE: Hi Jennifer! :) I'm trying to use print and cut to make acrylic photo keychains, and the acrylic blanks are a specific size. So if I enlarge by hitting auto resize, it will make them too big for my blanks won't it? Can I fit more of the actual size print and cut's in the resized area somehow so that I can cut more of them at the actual correct size to fit the acrylic blanks, or am I stuck using the old size limitations for this particular project? Thanks in advance for answering my questions! Love all that you do, your videos and website are so helpful!

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do the larger size. After you click make it, click on the material size to change it so you can fit more on the mat! 😃
