How to Waste Less Space Printing a Full Page On Cricut | EASY! 2021 Version

[@thecraftygrrl]

This video shows how to fill up more of the space on a standard 8.5 x 11 sticker sheet by moving the sensor border for more printable space.

[@nezumithe-mouse6319]

It doesn't print on 8.5 x 11. It's still wasted space.

[@maryniederlander3775]

This video shows how to fit as many images within the Printable Area Limitation of 6.75 x 9.25 inches. It does NOT fill up an entire 8.5 x 11 sheet. The other videos that use other software programs to set up the full sheet of 8.5 x 11 - do require additional steps to use up as much of the actual 8.5 x 11 printable sheet. Using the "other" programs you print out the Image First. Then you upload the image you set up in other program(s) to DS and save as a CUT only image and size it to 8.5 x 11, and then create a 8.5 x 11 cut out template on your cutting mat, and place your already printed image on the mat within that cut area. And cross your fingers, wish on a star, and hopefully your Cricut machine will cut out the preprinted images correctly. The method shown in this video by GirlyGrrlStyle is good in that it shows you to use as much of the Printable area limitation of Design Space which is still only 6.75 x 9.25 as of March 2022.

[@denisewoldring2338]

I have tried the 8.5x11 sheet method so many times and I can't get it to line up no matter what I do. It's so frustrating! If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it. I am beyond frustrated.

[@kathyshaw8947]

I spent hours looking for a way to get everything on one sheet. This simple tutorial was perfect. Thank you very much.

[@Batmankillzyouz]

i've been looking for this answer for 2 hours, i've watched so many videos telling me to tape my mat and use photoshop?! This is so simple and exactly what i was looking for! Thank you!

[@harmonyladya]

Omg thank you so much Ive watched at least 4 videos not explaining but making it a bit more harder. THIS WAS THE SIMPLEST PROCESS!

[@SarahBartram]

I had a GENIOUS idea - I set everything up the way you did, and got a great result. But then I decided to print through my printer dialogue box and increased the zoom to 105% from the centre AND IT WORKED!!! It printed a little bit bigger. I will continue to play with it until I can get it as big as possible! But I am very happy and wanted to share. I hope my explanation makes sense.

[@_phoenixgal_]

how did you zoom the print to 105% from the dialogue box?

[@7evi130]

As many others have said, this was SO HELPFUL! I thought I had to use like five different programs to do this, thank you thank you for an easy solution!

[@GumbiiGrows]

thank you... i had no idea that the cricut had such a small area to cut printed things out of... if i knew, i wouldn't have got it... i wish i could cut out prints that i do on my 11x17 paper.. but this tutorial does help out a lot... thank you, i greatly appreciate it... at least i won't be limited to tiny decals or waste so much paper/film...

[@jenniferbarroso8513]

omg your steps are so easy i looked for hrs on how to do this others show ink skape any tape and yours saved me a headache and hours thanks so much

[@deniseharwood9521]

Thank you!! I also have been watching videos where their "easy" process involves at least 2 other programs; this makes SO much sense! I find it interesting that I can't just "hide" the gray square, I have to actually "delete" it. But oh well, it works!!

[@bambikilla96]

OMG - life saver! Thanks for this. You were right, other videos did have you jump through hoops THEN spin around in front of cricut... THIS IS GOLD!

[@jworth7203]

I echo all the others! All this “do this program, bring it to over here, tape your mat, blah, blah, blah” Oh my gosh! So easy! Thank you!

[@MySneakers1]

OMG! You have saved me SO much time! I have been looking for the "perfect" video about how to do this for ages. This is it! Thank you!

[@latoyajames4244]

Thank you for saving my life...haha! I watched several videos and none were as simple as this! Thank you again!

[@Amy-lz5sz]

God bless you. I just began making stickers. I refused to print a page. I just couldn’t waste paper. I kept going down the rabbit hole and found you. Thank you also for giving credit the creator you learned from. That means something. It shows that you are appreciative and humble. My mother says that you can’t beat the combination. More success to you... I’m subscribing.

Yes Yes Yes!!! I knew there was one final little adjustment I needed to make - Attach. I've already done multiple stickers but that was about 9 months ago. Totally forgot this little step. Time to take notes :) Thank you so so very much. In fact, I'm pretty sure I stumbled across your channel a long time back and you were making stickers and/or print then cut. Woo Hoo!

[@thecraftygrrl]

Hi Beth, I'm so glad it could help. I always fogets the measurements and steps so I have to refer to my notes each time. haha

[@k80plans67]

Ohhh I can’t wait to try this! Total game changer if it works!

[@Pbjthings]

Sooo you made the stickers smaller and put more stickers inside the 6.75 x 9.25 which you could have just printed that way. But deleting the box spread them out and you have the same amount of stickers. I don’t know how this is helpful at all, the space is still wasted but it’s in between the stickers as opposed to along the edge. 🤷‍♀️

[@cindyhawkins6411]

Thank you for this! I'm a newbie to this and about to print my stickers!

You are my angel lol. I have watched videos where you have to tape it all up bla bla, you saved me tytytyty ❤

This is my first video I watched of yours and it’s fabulous thank you. You did such a great job you have another subscriber.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thank you so much and let me know if there's anything else you want to see.

[@StaceStace]

A4 is 8-1/4" x 11-3/4". This cheat code only helps you to maximize the space within the 6.75" x 9. 25" parameter (which is what Cricut allows anyway). This is not the hack to print a "full sheet".

[@hayneshelen]

I was thinking this same thing?

[@ThePennyArcade]

Lol it’s not a hack at all and it’s not printing full sheet. Everybody knows that the biggest you can do print & cut is 6.75 & 9.25. It’s sad to see that the poster and some people in the comments didn’t already know this...

[@LindseysLovies]

I was thinking the same thing! Lol

[@Amy-lz5sz]

@@ThePennyArcade so how do you print the whole sheet?

[@rd-gi6jw]

@@Amy-lz5sz by using the methods she despised in the beginning of this video. There is a ton of KZbin tutorials on that subject. Just search using key words. Much better to see than me trying to explain in words.

Do you have a tutorial up on how to fix the ink bleed from cricut's print then cut? I can't seem to get a good print quality when i use that setting! But when i just print the quality is great

Thanks! I love doing this hack! It’s great thanks for sharing. Do you know if there is a way to have the machine cut stickers but then cut a box around to cut an actual page if stickers but have the stickers in the middle just with the half cut?

How did you add all the stickers? Upload image and then insert? I'm just wondering if there's a prior step to getting all the stickers like you had that I need to follow or whether I can just insert images into Design Space and add the square.

[@groovydamma63]

So does this get you more printing area or about the same as the other hacks where they are using a couple other software programs and then importing to DS? I have used this already today and love it but was just curious about that print area compared to other hack(s) that folks are doing. Thanks and be groovy!

[@robira1313]

I'm a newbie, so maybe that is why I'm still confused. I am still not knowing how it went from 6.75 x 9.25 to a full (8.5 x 11) page just by clicking "attach" and deleting the box? I tried it and it did not work for me. What am I missing?

[@thecraftygrrl]

Hi Rob, essentially all we are doing is trying to get the border lines as far out as possible to maximize the internal space for stickers. I know Cricut has had some updates since this video but the steps outlined should still work to help you get the most workspace possible.

[@christinalewis6479]

I don't think it actually increases the size of your print/cut area it just allows you to fit more shapes in the area than the system would normally fit. I have a design that has 2.5" circles. Cricut puts 6 on a page. I can use the steps from the video to arrange them in a staggered pattern closer together and fit 8 on a sheet. I don't think it would make any difference at all if you were trying to do just one large image.

[@julierushing3818]

[@user-xf1hs6xu5l]

this does not print a Full Page ( more stickers) This is the standard Print and cut. You are filling the 6.75 x 9.25. that is it. the program just centers the cut on the page with a .75 space around the entire image. You are not getting more stickers.

[@angieashok4264]

This video was so helpful!! I'm new to the cricut world is it normal to have about an inch in from the side and bottom?

Unfortunately, yes. The sensor marks take up that space but it's still such a waste of paper.
