My cricut was cutting perfectly, now it doesn't want to cut this image out good, I calibrated, now I'm going to try adding bleed, which I usually never do. Hopefully something will work for me because it's for a large order. Thanks for your tips.

[@tchili1]

Thanks so much! My machine keeps losing calibration and think it could be the change in lighting. Could you please explain what is fine calibration vs print then cut? Thanks so much.

[@rjsmom168]

Thabks so much! I didnt know there was a way to check. Most all svgs ive gotten I had to do an offset.

So, how do you get the Cricut to print vinyl with a clear film over the image? Dang thing can't read the black marks.

Great video...i have another issue. I printed a monster truck and the cut started in the wrong part of the truck...I calibrated my cricut a while back...do i need to calibrate it again? It was aligned on my mat perfectly. So disappointed as this is a wasted page of photo paper. :(

Can i use the pen option after I print and cut?

[@torigladstone2446]

Would you have any tips as to how to get those horizontal lines out from the images? I did all of the printer cleaning prompts that Google recommended. When I take a png from my procreate and use it for my stickers I keep getting those sticker lines. I did a test though and grabbed a design off of cricut one of the ones that’s free on there and it printed fine with that one? I’m a little stuck and pulling out my hair on this one

[@TheFireBird-w5k]

What if it’s passed calibration 3 X and still won’t cut correctly. I have a large batch of stickers to make for a customer and my maker has cut through the designs of 4 out of 6. What do you do

So much help thank you

[@mrs.southpaw6291]

Hello! Okay I cannot find a video that has a solution for what my explorer air 2 is doing. I calibrated my machine, I printed on a printable vinyl and sent it to my machine but after it scans the lines it goes to the bottom and just makes a bunch of dots then kicks me out of my cricut program all together with my mat stuck in the machine and no lights blinking! What am I doing wrong? I am 100% new to the htv printable and well just print then cut all together. I appreciate the help :)

[@mickikn613]

can we get rid of the black marks when printing because I want a full page for subulation no cut

Hello do you have advice, my print and cut works well on certain papers except printable sticker vinyl it always cuts wrong?

[@marshaschenkel4520]

why wont my cricut allow me to print the same image again since I messed up the 1st one. Also is there a way to change a print then cut to a basic cut? Thank you.

[@Mama2uku]

Oh shoot I thought this was Chrissy Tegan 😂 John legend wife wow she look just like her

[@StaceyMcNeill]

Great video! But I need a recommendation for an affordable (under $250) printer that will print on sticker paper. I’m having issues printing on sticker paper as my printer jams every time ( no matter what settings I try) It doesn’t have a rear feed tray. So, I’m ready to buy a new printer just to use with my cricut. Checked out the MGL video on printers, but it’s outdated and the link to the recommended printer now shows a model that’s over $700. Would appreciate any recommendations for printers currently on the market. Thank you!!!

[@daniellelacerda5170]

Hello, I'm from Brazil and bought a Cricut Explorer 2 two years ago, and it was the biggest regret of my life. I only found out after buying the machine that there was no technical support here in Brazil. From the beginning, our machine couldn't cut circular shapes perfectly. We did several calibrations, but it never worked correctly. During calibration, everything goes smoothly, but when it comes to printing and cutting, it cuts incorrectly, especially at the bottom of the sheet. Even on vinyl, which should cut perfectly, the cut comes out all shaky. With so many recurring issues that I see people complaining about on KZbin, Cricut should have solved them by now. And the thing is, my machine became much worse and noisier after the firmware update, which, in my opinion, is useless. Today, I have a machine sitting idle because I can't sell it or even use it since it doesn't work properly. I bought a Silhouette Cameo 4, and it was the best thing I've ever done! It does everything perfectly! The Cameo cuts shapes flawlessly, cuts glossy paper without issues, and vinyl with the most perfect cut I've ever seen.

[@kjmav10135]

I’m with you. I bought this piece of garbage a month ago, and it is terrible. SO sorry I wasted the money!

[@WhitneyMerrill-gq3or]

I've tried Print Then Cut but the colors always come out really dark. I've tried an Epson and a Canon printer, with matte photo paper setting and best quality print. I've also tried downloading as a PDF then printing, rather than printing straight from Design Space (this method looked slightly better on the Canon but still not what I designed). Any ideas how to fix this?

[@KAuguste-y6o]

My problem is for the first mat the cricut wants to print then cut, I just want to cut. How can I stop it from doing this?

Is there an option to change the canvas background when using a tablet or phone?

How do you get the png to download load without it going to print and cut and without it being just a silhouette for basic cut. So the colors can be cut as seperate pieces to layer them

[@veronicapavao6541]

This video is amazing. But I have a question, let's say I did exactly what you did with the stickers to save paper and printed a few sheets. Can I, later on, cut those and tell the machine that I already have it printed?

[@karamelclothing1]

Yes you can. I do that all the time

[@sonyab.christian6013]

I am having an issue with my cricut/printer when trying to do print then cut. I have done my design, I try to print it, I click make it and it tells me that I have to do a calibration first, so i click for it to do that and my printer just starts printing out sheets of paper with weird symbols and numbers on it. It continues to print that until I go into my printer and cancel the print completely. Do you have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to fix it.

Hi, thank you so much for the video! I am still having trouble, though I calibrated my cricut two or three times and the lines print perfectly on the calibration sheet but then when I go to print then cut, it is still not working. The cricut still is cutting in the totally wrong spot, even though my page is in the top left corner of my mat, lined up perfectly. Know anything I could do for this? Appreciate it!

[@BlueberryPink]

I have the same problem from the beginning when I bought Cricut :( Every printed page is cutted wrong and I do not know how to solve it. Even if I make calibration once per sheet, it is still wrong :(

Print and cut issue now is that every time I move my image to the first page whether it be left or right of page , it will move back to the starting position… I was on the phone 8 hrs today going back and forth with cricut. They had me uninstall / reinstall , update my computer to current software and this still doesn’t work… I even switched to beta

I followed all the steps, I flattened, I made the canvas grey to see what was going to cut and it's still trying to cut out each individual piece.... :(

[@lindabradford9591]

My maker is 1 1/2 years and I can't even do the calibration sheet. The sensor comes on in the white area at the top, goes really slow for 3" left and right then shuts off. Then I get print and cut error. Does anyone have answers how to fix besides another cricut?

This was very helpful however I have another issue that I was hoping would be mentioned. Mine does a double registration set of lines on the top. A small set then a larger set underneath it which wastes a good 1 1/2 inches of paper on the top. Anyone have this issue? If so did you figure out how to stop it? Would be so grateful.

You might need to calibrate your machine.

I've done the calibration, and it doesn't cut directly on any of the lines. Or it will come close on the top but the side it's off but never in the middle. I think I've tried to calibrate it about 3 times back to back but haven't been successful. What suggestions do you have to get it calibrated as close as possible?

I hate this machine SO MUCH! You would think that the Cricut people would make a user-friendly machine and provide decent customer service. If it weren’t for you saving the day, this machine would definitely be pitched out the third floor window. It is horrible. You make it at least bearable.
