[@dustyacres]

Yes, I concur that you did a fantastic job of explaining the print and cut. But I do have a few questions, 1st one is, do you have to calibrate the machine every time? The second is can you tape down your printer weight paper to some card stock to cut both out at the same time?

[@littlecraftnest]

Great questions. I recommend calibrating your machine if you have not done it in a while or if Cricut has done a new update. You don’t need to do it every time. I have never tried what you are asking but I suppose it would work if you found the right pressure setting. The other thing you can do if your just looking to make your paper stronger by adding cardstock to the back is to duplicate your image on the canvas - have one set as a print then cut and the other as a basic cut. Then you can cut then out separately and attach them together after. I hope that makes sense. Happy crafting.

[@dustyacres]

@littlecraftnest Thanks for commenting on this. I will try and calibrate the machine again, I received an error message. I did try the cut alone but my printed copy was bigger than the cardstock cuttings 😔 Will try something else, thanks.

My problem is that when the image was cut, my machine cut also inside the bunny image, cutting away part of his lower mouth and inside portions of his paws etc.; along with cutting the out the full bunny image. Why is this happening?

[@littlecraftnest]

Without seeing your screen my guess is that there was some negative space or holes within your image. You could try add a small offset around your image and then select your image and your offset and click on "Flatten' and see if that helps.

Thank you so much for this video after much searching I came across this video which was a tremendous help. I do have a question tho. Can this same thing be applied when working with sublimation? I only have a sublimation printer and when pressing the mirrored image onto this dry erase poster sheets it cannot detect the image I’m assuming because of this. I don’t have a standard printer just curious if there is a work around for sublimation. Thank you in advance for any assistance 😊

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes you can use it with sublimation but you will have to print through Design Space. Make sure your image has only been mirrored once. ex. Make sure your printer is not set up to automatically mirror because if you then mirror in design space it will cancel out your original mirror. So turn off your printers auto mirror setting and only mirror after you go to “make” in Design Space. I hope that makes sense.

You would need to log into your DS account in order to print. Ex. Go to work, log into DS and print. Then go home open DS (click already printed) and then cut. I don’t think you’d be able to log into DS and print at a store. Better to go to a library, friend’s house or work. Also keep in mind that if you move any images around on your canvas before you cut - your cut lines may be off. I hope that helps.

Yes you do. I’ve done a few videos on this using different material that I will post below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4G3o2B8rq2aosU kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXYYp-nf6l7n8U

Hi!! Nice tutorial ❤ could you please share what cricut you have??🙏

[@littlecraftnest]

Thank you. For this video I used the Cricut Maker.

[@henrykg]

@@littlecraftnest Will it also work on Cricut Explore 3?

[@littlecraftnest]

Yes

[@lavaria4037]

I'll finally be attempting this soon just to put a little hedgehog on my daughters onesie 💕 can't wait to see her in it when she gets here in January 🥰

[@littlecraftnest]

Very exciting. Congratulations!

[@lucyalgood]

Ty so much for your down to the point video-tutorial ❤! I have a quick question: how do u send the info from your cricut to your printer? Wifi? Thank you!

[@littlecraftnest]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. As long as your printer is hooked up to your computer there is no further setup required. Here is a more updated print then cut video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6ul4ejat16g8ksi=B5q2ESu2gvnMV11M

[@kurtm1977]

Wondering if you have ever printed on transparent material with a photo to cut out? \

[@littlecraftnest]

Yes I have. I recently posted a video on how to do this and then put it in ornaments. Here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprGdoJ6it2qkNUsi=V_z3EI2cHpQYCG35

[@ramface1997]

Do you have any suggestions on printable htv?

[@littlecraftnest]

I have 2 different videos where I use different material for printable HTV. Here is my video using a product from Teckwrap kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4G3o2B8rq2aosUsi=z0ziG1vuPC8zsBzz however I no longer see this product on their website. Here is another product I used called Easy Color DTV, which I really enjoyed, here is the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXYYp-nf6l7n8Usi=M8pbxBluncJDsUoz here is my amazon affiliate link for that product amzn.to/3RB69Ug

[@pigeon7777]

Design space seems to always put the image on the top left-hand side, when using print and cut is it possible to force it to be in a specific location on the paper instead? (For example, 10cm from the top of page, 8cm from the left of page)

[@littlecraftnest]

When you click on “make” you can move your image to a different location on the mat by moving your image around with your mouse.

[@jessicaheid2785]

Great video! Can you show us how to leave a little 1/2 inch border around the cutout?

[@littlecraftnest]

To do this you will need to create an offset. You will then need to flatten your offset to your image. Here are some videos that may help. I’m currently working on a new sticker video which will help with this as well, that will be posted next week.

[@DavidMoore-gg4hs]

This is super helpful but as I try to cut after I printed …it is wanting to cut around every piece of my image and not just around the outside. How do I get it just to cut around the outside?

[@littlecraftnest]

Select all your layers together and click flatten.

[@DavidMoore-gg4hs]

I believe it only shows the upload as one layer. Do I still click flatten

[@littlecraftnest]

Make sure the operation does say “print then cut”. If the operation is print then cut and it’s only one layer you don’t need to click flatten. It should cut around the whole image. If there are gaps in your image (ie not all parts of the image are touching each others) you may need to add an offset behind it and then flatten the offset to your image. I hope that helps.

[@DavidMoore-gg4hs]

@@littlecraftnest that’s super helpful! I added a shape to the background and attached it to the image and then flattened. Is that what you mean by offset?

[@littlecraftnest]

Yes you can do that. There is also a function at the top that says “offset” where it will create a layer to go behind your image. Here is a video about offset kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXW7h5Wua9F2rsk I also use offsets in my sticker video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6ul4ejat16g8k

[@Nhlalwenhle]

Hi . Thank you for the video. I am from South Africa and trying to get going with my Print and Cut function for cake toppers

[@littlecraftnest]

That’s exciting. I love that idea. When making cake toppers I would suggest printing on card stock. I’m sure they will turn out great. Happy crafting!

[@gonzalez78]

wow, thank you for the video. It helped me Alot. I have One question. Am I only able to cut a 9.25" graphic. Or is there a way to cut larger graphics?

[@littlecraftnest]

Design Space has recently updated its print then cut capabilities. Switch over to the the Beta version of DS (watch here to learn how kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnTYfqB_bbp9mbs ). Then you will be able to use different paper sizes and will be able to print larger (depending on your printer’s capabilities). I’m hoping to make a new print then cut video explaining this in the new future. All the best.

[@gonzalez78]

@@littlecraftnest Thank you! Keep up the great work!!

[@sanfordwhite7036]

Very succinct presentation! Thank you! I am trying a print and cut project that combines a US flag image and some words. Cricut is trying to cut out each of the stripes. I tried to attach without luck. I tried to weld but it turned my 3 colors into a solid color. Tried Unite and it turned the flag into a solid color. Any ideas? Thanks, again!

[@littlecraftnest]

Select all your layers and click in “flatten”. Also if you have white space behind your image you will need to flatten your image to a shape. The best way to do this is the create a white offset behind your image. Select everything and flatten. I have an updated print then cut video you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGO7l5iifJaCq7c

[@thldyinred]

I thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I have a question about the background. Do you always need to remove the background on the print n cut option?

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome. You can keep the background if you want the background printed out. Example, if you have a square photo with a background, you can keep it and your Cricut will cut around the square - not the subject. If you want your Cricut to cut around the subject you will have to remove the background. Hope that helps.

Thank you@@littlecraftnest I keep getting error -3 on my cricut maker. Maybe they are doing maintenance work on their site.

[@littlecraftnest]

Unfortunately I don’t know what error 3 is. Cricut is announcing something tomorrow so it wouldn’t surprise me if they are doing work on the site. You can always try to sign out and log back in and see if that helps. Or call Cricut support and maybe they can guide you.

Hello I’m just getting started and would like to print on vinyl what would be the best cricket to buy and what printer would I need?

[@littlecraftnest]

I have a Cricut maker and really enjoy using it. The machine you get will depend on what you plan to use it for. If you want to print on vinyl to make stickers you could get the Cricut Joy Extra, Explorer 2 or 3 or the maker or maker 3. Any inkjet printer will work. I use an Epson Eco tank.

[@terriperez6141]

Good morning I am Terri.I am in San Antonio Texas. I would like to get started and purchasing my items to have here at home. I am semi retired so this would be great for me. I have a cricket. I have not opened because I’m terrified, but I’m ready to face my fears, which is the best printer I see you have Epson? is there a best bundle for the cricket and mug and glass press?? also for the Joy is there a best bundle for all these just looking for some input so I can put it together and get started thank you so much in advance. I know it’s a lot but if I get a few answers I can get going.

[@littlecraftnest]

That’s exciting that you will be starting your new crafting adventure. Don’t be afraid to get started - you may make mistakes in the beginning but that’s all part of the learning processes. What machine do you currently have? I wouldn’t suggest getting another machine until you learn the basics. I have an Epson printer which I’m happy with, I also have the Cricut mug press cricut.pxf.io/WqdyrZ and the HTVRONT tumbler press. shrsl.com/4f50o Here is a video that will help you understand Cricut design space do you can get started kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJPMqnatd5qljacsi=WhkQcSZ4DpGHeJty (Links above are affiliate links)

How do you send the info from your cricut to your printer?wifi? Thanks so much!

[@staceyengstrom2012]

@@lucyalgood sorry, just reading this (month ago :(... wifi is needed and when you have the image on your Cricut, it will have an option or you can click the option in the Cricut Space Design, by clicking on the box in the upper left corner BASIC CUT...there's an arrow, click on that and it will give you an option that says "Print then Cut". Select that and then your Cricut will guide you. You MIGHT need to calibrate your Cricut to your printer...it typically tells you if you need to do so. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

You would need to remove the background which can be done in design space or easily on an iPhone or whatever other program you like to use whether that’s canva, photoshop, etc. Or if you just want a simple shape cut out you can use snap mat.
