Cricut Print Then Cut - PNG, JPG and GOOGLE IMAGES

[@Pherine1]

Thank God for Kens Kreations! I cannot tell you how many videos I've watched trying to find out how to print my design, although the title of the video will say Print and Cut Tutorials, they don't actually tell you how to do it! Now I've watched your video I can print to my hearts content, thank you so much for the KISS videos x x

[@KensKreations]

[@imovieadventures]

Ken, I love your videos! I am old but new to crafting and was really intimidated with using my Cricut Explore but now I feel more confident and am getting great results because of your video tutorials. You make more informative videos than the Cricut website. Love, love, love you and your videos!

[@KensKreations]

Defy Danger awesome sauce

[@traceyauger9639]

Once again Ken I must say amazing videos with lots of knowledgable information on the Cricut Print and Cut for us.

[@KensKreations]

Tracey Auger Thanks so much. Please share and get the word out!

[@lindaoconnor6355]

I agree with Beth Jack...you were pronouncing artisan correctly before you started saying artesian. Great video and thanks for sharing such useful information. I learn so much from your videos!

[@KensKreations]

Linda OConnor I know so many people gave me feedback on that word!@!

[@lisamacdonald3114]

Ken, you were saying Artisan correctly from the beginning. Artisan means a person skilled in an applied art; a craftsperson. The "other word" is actually spelled Artesian and it pertains to wells. Love you! Loved the video! You're the best!

[@KensKreations]

Lisa MacDonald no...your the BEST

[@mollygummings4045]

Thank you, I could not find anything to show me how to work a file from google. This helped me alot. thanks again. Molly

[@juliescaparra3686]

Now I know the difference between PNG & JPEG. Thanks Ken. Love your videos

[@KensKreations]

+Julie Scaparra thanks so much!

[@samjennings4995]

I so love your videos - I feel like you really explain things well. I am a newbie to Cricutland and I am feeling confident. It is because of your video I went with Explore instead of Silohette you are so thorough. thank you! (don't mind the mis spellings. lol long day!)

[@KensKreations]

[@KensKreations]

kimbagirl68 Thanks!!

[@barbaratroxell6682]

always eager to learn . I may have to come back at times to review . thanks

[@maryegloff187]

Thanks Ken, for adding this to your list, l am so greatful. Just let me know when l can view it,as this is frustrating me not knowing how to do this technique of leaving a white boarder around my images. I love the videos that l have seen of your and you were the one who exactully inspired me to get one! I am impressed on how it does cut, Amazing when it come to fussy cutting. Love it! Specially order it from the UK, as l could not get one from Switzerland. Thanks Ken, love you and will be looking out for your video. 👍🏼😀

[@KensKreations]

Thanks for watching!

[@rosslyngilmore7224]

Ken, You are GREAT I have learned so much.

[@KensKreations]

Rosslyn Gilmore awesome!!!!

[@carolync8405]

I watched the print and cut video several times and was baffled as to why I couldn’t see registration marks. All I got was a solid black box. I posted this problem on a FB group and was told that the black box was the registration. It’s an upgrade for the maker. Perhaps you could add this addendum to your video and save other newbies a lot of frustration. Thanks for making the tutorials.

[@pattiepan]

Bless and thank you Ken...I appreciate your speedy answer. Boy are your numbers going up. Shows you're doing a great job.. Keep it up pat

[@KensKreations]

Pat Posk You are so so sweet!!! Yes my numbers are going up and out of no where. I will not complain! :)

[@lanalovelyable]

Thank you so glad I found this to learn how to use my Cricut.

[@KensKreations]

+Lana Kounovsky Thanks for watching

[@katykarter9627]

Just what I was looking for .....thanks a bunch Ken !!

[@cosmicchat6109]

Hello Kens Kreations, Im in the process of letting my cutter go back because I can't get it to cut these images at least 11x11 or 12x12in. Is there a way to make the images as you've just demonstrated any bigger? I referring to images just as the ones in this video but a bit bigger.

[@dalegreen7624]

Hi Ken, could I just ask if it's possible to hand draw your own design, then scan it into the cricut to be cut? Many thanks

[@deanavandeford3249]

Very helpful,thank you for taking your time to explain and share😊

[@sperezsr]

Loved this tutorial. was sent a print and cut png that is too large. When I tried to print then cut , design space said to large. I even attempted to adjust the size yet it still stated to large. I am trying to use it for a tshirt. Thanks so much for your help.

[@travelintippy9266]

Your videos are wonderful. Thank you so very much. I am totally new to the jpeg and the png files. Do you have a video that shows how you download the files to your computer?

[@mariahcasillas7834]

what kind of paper did you use for printer? regular paper or cardstock?

[@evarichardson710]

Thank you for making this video!!!! :) It was very helpful!!

[@KensKreations]

Cassie Delgado thanks so much!

[@scrapingram]

Your videos are the best!

[@KensKreations]

scrapingram Thanks so much for watching

[@MsVampire29]

Brilliant video. Which cricut setting did you use please?

[@pattiepan]

Ken another excellent video and I'm learning more each time. I do have a question. When you did the little Cricut from Google pics when you placed your printed pic on the mat and were ready to cut...you had those registration marks on your paper. Did you have to do another scan for the registration marks for Cricut or what. The paper you had with Cricut on it had those marks ..when did all this happen I don't understand. Does a person have to do registration marks all the time for each image. If not ..how did those marks get there. This is what I don't understand. pat

[@KensKreations]

Pat Posk the registration marks are automatic. When you do the flattening of the image and tell the system it is a print then cut it automatically adds those.

[@kimsalito2188]

Great video. I just realized I can use an image now that I could never get to work before. It was an image from Google, o thank you for sharing this information with us.

[@KensKreations]

[@lindacolgan6412]

Ken,your video was wonderful I even understood what you were doing , I'm not very good at computer things.I have the very first cricket a small one can I do the print and cut with this model?or do I need to save and get the one you were using? Ken can you do a vid on printing a whole sheet. Of images to make stickers and how to print photos from home.Thank you Ken and can not wait to look at your other videos they don't make me dizzy with the curser going a round and around if you know what I mean and you explain:)Linda

[@KensKreations]

+Linda colgan I will add it to my list

[@06consuelo]

very helpful video...what type of printer did you have??

[@KensKreations]

+Maria Corral epson artisan 1430

[@stepheevega]

Thank you so much for doing these videos! They help tremendously. I was wondering if the weight of cardstock affects the sensor abilities? I have tried several times to print/cut an image and I can only get it to work on regular paper versus a 65lb weight white cardstock. When I have the 65lb cardstock on the mat, it will tell me it cannot identify the image to cut. Thanks in advance!

[@marymashal0909]

Thank you for this video it was very clear and easy 2 follow - I am planning on purchasing this new toy but I have a question- I use PrintMaster 18 by Broderbund and I use the MANY different fonts and colors/thickness along with the clip arts, and I been HAND CUTTING my projects example would b the phrase "Thank You" with a picture of a "bowl of fruit" -will I b able 2 design my project with PrintMaster and have the Cricut machine CUT my project??? NO MORE HAND CUTTING???? Again THANK 4 your videos

[@KensKreations]

What is the print master?

[@marcelafranco9463]

Thank you so much! This was very helpful! I just recently got my Cricut!

[@diannebarton3293]

Ken, thanks for all your videos. I have found them so helpful since I just got the Explore Air just before Christmas, after using the Cameo for 3 years. One of my pet peeves, as is yours, is the white shadow on the Print & Cut with the Cameo. In your videos you demonstrate the bleed feature. However, in the Design Space I downloaded I cannot see that function. I'm probably not looking in the proper place. Can you point me in the right direction? LOL Dianne

[@KensKreations]

+Dianne Bartoyes in the upper right hand corner before you send it to the printer you should see a check box that says bleed.

[@diannebarton3293]

+Kens Kreations Thanks for your reply Ken. That was my problem. It does not show in the top right corner as shown in your video. I did a bit more digging on the web today and found that in the newer version of DS they have hidden it away on the "mat" page. It is now in the top left corner of that page under More Mat Settings. The programme defaults to a bleed and you have to decide whether to leave it or uncheck it. Just happy I found it. LOL

[@kgriesbaum04]

Very awesome to understand!!!!!!!!!! Yes! It was great!

[@KensKreations]

Kristin Griesbaum Ahhh thanks!!!

[@GracesonnaWilson]

[@DianesPaperArt]

Hello, Wonderful, informative video. I would like to print my paper at an outside print vendor and than cut with my Cricut. How can I save my document to be printed somewhere else and then cut at home? Have some very color intense projects that my printer cannot handle.

[@hotbecky880707]

Thank you for your video! Very informative. I don't have a color printer, is there a way I can save the print file and then print from somewhere else?

[@KensKreations]

+hotbecky880707 sure can!

[@RobinMuddSimpleDesigns]

Love it, you explain things so well! Hugs from Ky💙

[@blonde2thebone]

You mentioned your designers. Who do you use?

[@faridemanrique]

How is that I only find your videos now?! You're a genious! This is the ultimate explanation for how to do it. Thank you so much! I was debating about what machine should I purchase and I decided for a Cricut. Does it have the pix scan facility? Because I sometimes buy stack paper and they have a tags or images sheet that you are able to cut and I read the silhouette scan the image and then cut the images.... Do you know how to do it with the Cricut? Blessings from México.

[@bonniecalleros2173]

Thanks for the tips! I don't want print and cut. Just cut with layers. I seen the viedo with the old design space. With the explore air, I can get the image but it only goes to print and cut. How can I just cut with layers with different colors from google/crome?

[@KensKreations]

+Bonnie Calleros kzbin.info/www/bejne/emm0qKeunbuZq8U

[@theironloofah8770]

Hi Ken! I just got a cricut and your videos have helped me out so much. I absolutely love them. I do need some help though, and hopefully you can help me. I need to cut out an image but it is either a word document or a JPEG, do you have a video to show how to convert them to an image I can upload on cricut? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you so much, and have a wonderful day!

[@annette1561]

I want to use vinyl or printing paper.How do you print and cut that image?

[@TheLukky1991]

Hi Ken, You are like lifesaver for all the beginners in Print and cut technology. I've heard that Cricut Explore Air 2 does not allow us to print and cut designs larger than 6x8.5 inches? (Designs imported from any other software). If that is the case then How can i cut an A4 size design that i need to print and cut for T-shirt? What is the other option that we have if i cannot cut A4 sized designs?

[@robinsorbe6340]

This Rocks! Question - when I an in "upload image", I don't have the "eyeball" to see where my cut lines are. I have a logo that I don't want the inside cut out and it wants to cut it out. I would like it to just cut around the entire logo. Is this possible?

[@KensKreations]

+Robin Sorbe sure. The eyball is fone. Now it is just a preview option

[@kimpriestley]

I just purchased the Cricut Air and am loving it. Most of the art work I'm using (.png or.jpg) are asian and not traditional images that i could find on any other cricut site or image provider. After watching this video I still can't seem to get the "print and cut" to work. I end up with a white box around the image. Am i doomed to having to erase manually? Thanks for all your help!

[@ingerb3973]

This was a amazing video . I wish I found this video weeks ago I have struggled with svgs and gave up. I'm very new to this and I couldn't understand. But ur video was very helpful and you explained everything clearly. I do have a question since I have some svg designs can I print then cut with out having to ungroup the image?

[@irenecortez7819]

Love your videos. Thank you

[@KensKreations]

Thanks

[@carinadavila]

Hello Ken. Ijust saw all your videos, to decide wich machine to nuy, i have only one question. This print and then cut is similar to de PixScan of Cameo. Can i do similar stuffs?? Thanks

[@KensKreations]

+Carina Davila cricut does not offer a pix scan technology at the moment

[@saraevans4036]

HI Ken! Nice work. I'm going to make outer space stickers for my students using Google Images and Print then Cut and my oxo machine. My question is - is there a way to convert a jpeg to a png to save the erasing steps?

[@KensKreations]

Sara Kottsick if you have a mac yes...if not you well need to go to google and look up convert jpeg to png

[@emilyjones9164]

what setting do you set your cricut to cut? can we use transfer paper from a different band . I have its all set just when I cut it took out yhe stars I had messed up image

[@brendan.3038]

Very informative video. THANK YOU! I do have two questions though; when downloading your own files ...... a) can you print and cut out numerous images at the same time that are all the same? i.e.: All the same gift tag. b) if using vinyl instead of pager and only wish to cut out silhouettes, can more than one be cut (again) all at the same time? In other words, in both cases for the above do you have to print and/or cut EACH image individually? With appreciation .............

[@lonniewills468]

great video really excited for this update! what suppliers do you use and do you find them safe to download files?

[@KensKreations]

Lonnie Wills supplies?? I assume you mean for svg. I use scrappydew.com, ppbndesigns.com and more. VERY VERY SAFE

[@Candymandy07]

Hi I have a question do you recommend using the cricut explore air for making vinyl decals...I really want to know before I spend my money on it. Also do you have to have a ipad to get the app for the cricut explore If so can you do a video on it I would really appreciate it

[@KensKreations]

Amanda Morris if you are going to be using the print then cut you will have better coverage on the silhouette cameo. the explore has limited print then cut size

[@gwendolynflowers6213]

Can you convert print and cut files into standard images and make bigger?

[@duffywannab]

Hi, By the way the Explore is AMAZING!!!!!!! and yes Im blown awy by the possibilities..:) Just a question for you which i hope you can answer please? i have followed all the instructions for the firmware and caliberation, but when i try to import a basic jpeg or png it is saying its not supported and that onlu jpeg and png supported??? im baffled as i definately have done as you suggested, firmware first then caliberation which print and cut perfect!!! hope you can help, and by the way, LOVE your video inspirations we really need them, you explain everything realy great and Cricut explore is fantastic!! much better than my mini, on the cut, performance look, and quality!!:)

[@KensKreations]

Mandy Mo Not sure what is happening....if you installed the firmware and the plug-in it should word. I hate the refer you to customer service however that is what i would do

[@duffywannab]

Kens Kreations Hi Ken, thank you for your quick response to my question!.. I can only say that when i went back in to do another firmware, it said to reastablish with the firm ware, so it looks like it hadnt finished properly. just thought i would let you know, as not to put people off, as this is a FANTASTIC machine, and it was my error, not cricuts. thanks again Ken, :)

[@londawaite4511]

I see you have the Circut Explorer and you've also done reviews on the Brother Scan and Cut. Which one "in your opinion" :) do you prefer? I'd appreciate your feedback since you've worked with both machines. I would be using it for everything including some quilting & applique.

[@KensKreations]

Londa Waite I prefer the Cricut explore as it has more intricate cut.

[@louiseluna7375]

I really really like the simplicity I am seeing with The Cricut Explore. Are we required to purchase any subscriptions in order to use the Cricut Explore or to use any of the features? Can we buy individual images on an as needed basis? Thank You!

[@KensKreations]

Louise Luna At this point The cricut explore will be released with all machines. You can use all images you currently have and if you have the subscription service you will be able to use those as well. You will not need a "special" subscription service.

[@brit2053]

Do you have a tutorial on how to do it on a shirt? Do you mirror the image?

[@crystaladkins-pennix5201]

Hi, which paper did you use, and what settings did you use on the cricut. thanks!

[@KensKreations]

+Crystal Adkins I use 110lb white cardstock found at walmart in office

[@xcookiemonsterxo]

what kind of paper are you using?

[@TheTraylynn41]

So when you print and cut you first print with a reg printer then put in mat and put in cricut? Correct?

[@KensKreations]

Tracy Burow Youa re 100% correct!

[@maryegloff187]

Hi Ken,I really want to know how l can leave a white boarder around my images, can l do this with this with my cricut explore air machine and how? Could you show a video on this technique as l can't find how to do this and l am sure other would appreciate how to this as well? Please your knowledge is appreciated, Thanks Ken!

Hey Subscribed!!! Quick question... does it have to be 8.5 X 11" paper or card stock? It seems like a huge waste.

[@KensKreations]

nope you can save it by cutting it down

[@AnOnAQ8]

The vidoe was really helpful! Thank you! I see that each image was printed separately on a sheet of paper. I was wondering if I can print multiple images on one sheet of paper then cut them all? Thank you in advance.

[@karensprague4251]

I am new at the explore... is there a way you can print on Iron on paper then cut in the explore for one solid image? Please help. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.

[@KensKreations]

Karen Sprague you would have to buy printable iron on but yes

[@karensprague4251]

Kens Kreations​ thank you. Any videos on how to do this? I know I print from my regular printer than go into explore... Any advice helps. Thank you

[@TheTacoShark]

Ken.... thank you for the videos.... I am having the hardest time trying to print an "outline only" of an image. Is there a solution for that?

[@KensKreations]

You would need to find just that layer and print and cut that layer

[@KensKreations]

Heather Gonzalez sure is....just select printable iron on from the custom materials

[@amwright288]

First I love your videos. You have taught me everything I know about my cricut. I just started using the print then cut feature. I am trying to make pregnancy announcement cards. I uploaded a few images as print then cut, attached a swirly cut border that I want around the card. The print option works wonderfully. Prints my image exactly the way I want. But when I go to cut, my explore is cutting the image it printed and not the border. I have no clue how to fix this. Do you have any idea how to make my cricut only the border and not the image I printed?

[@KensKreations]

+Ashley Wright draw a box around both your items and hit flatten

[@twinktwinktwink]

+Kens Kreations Wait, that's it?! My situation is somewhat similar, except I'm making Valentines. Hearts are much less intricate that pretty swirl borders, and I can't get it to work for the life of me.
