It's so sad that a huge company like Cricut has one of the worst "design" software out there. You should not have to go through this. This is not okay.
Actually no. Cricut doesn’t have the worst software like you said, Cricut might have smaller print then cut size before but they just updated the Design Space to make it bigger. Cricut design space is very beginner friendly. So for people that are not so tech savy Cricut design space is not gonna be a problem. But I apprrciate your concern . I’m happy with my Cricut
@@sannie0994 You can try po canva if naka PRO ka po. or any app or software na pwede mo madownload yung file as png transparent background so you will have it as your cut file/svg.
I agree with that lady, I’ve been watching videos of how to calibrate “print then cut” and I just can’t do it, I already calibrated the machine 11 times and it doesn’t work , I’ll gonna try this method for sure thank you 🙏🏼 😊
Can i import my own paths from illustrator that it can use as cut lines instead of relying on the program to figure it out? I'll ofc be more accurate if i can do it that way?
Cricut's mat set up insists on about a quarter of an inch of space from the outer grid so in order to ensure you are putting your paper within the actual space where the cricut is able to cut and align your images with the cut file, you need to know the exact borders the paper needs to fit in. If you do print and cut within Cricut itself, you don't have to do this because cricut is already accounting for the space, but it also means you waste a significant portion of usable sticker paper because Cricut's software is hot garbage. Building your files like this gives you almost the entire sheet to use.
@@mcraftsco scusami ma la maker 3 mi chiede il tappetino lungo ....io ho messo lo scotch ma lo legge e mi dice di inserire l'altro. vedo che anche a te chiede quello lungo ma tu inserisci quello corto e te lo legge. Come mai?
I think the overall Cricut technology needs to improve vastly! With the way print then cut works (scanning registration marks to determine alignment of the blade), they way it should work is to have Cricut scan what's actually printed on the mat and then cut according to a tolerance % you enter (basically how much of a bleed, negative or positive). Even with the latest update to Design Space and using the Beta version of the software, you still have to 'hack' the machine to allow an almost 8.5" x 11" image to be cut by choosing a larger paper size. This works if you have a 12" x 24" mat (no problem), but many projects only come with paper stock of 8.5" x 11" (example photo papers, sticker paper, etc). We should be able to adhere the paper as skewed as we want (as long as it fits within the mat) and Cricut should be able to cut it without needing registration marks, without hours spent trying to align the way your printer prints and hope that it lines up with the image you import and hope you place the paper on the mat exactly square and then hope you feed the mat perfectly. All these things can slip as little as 1/16" and even 1/32" is too much of a difference. I've noticed that when you print a few copies of an image from your printer and then align the papers perfectly, those prints can be off 1/16", and this is due to the fact 8.5" x 11" stock is often plus or minus 1/16" in width and length, so when you tell your printer to center the image, if the stock's height is not more consistent than within 1/32", then your prints are not aligned, so your cut image won't always align with the same image printed. All this would be solved if the machine would simply scan the mat and cut accordingly.
because the print size and the paper doesnt match 100%. but the registration mark is same on what you input as size and that is what matters in cutting.
The registration marks are for it to be exactly A4 size when you upload it to Design Space. If there is no Registration marks, you will only upload the image to cut. You will not get the right size.
I tried this using 8.5 x 11 inches instead of A4 and it didn't work. When I print the image from Photoshop, the registration marks are not at the borders of my paper, like yours. How did you get Cricut to cut your circles accurately considering the registration marks do not appear at the corner of your page? Shouldn't that throw the cut off?
I am really not sure if this will work in letter size but you can try the same process but changing the sizes i mentioned to a letter size. And my small boxes or registration mark that i put in photoshop doesnt work as registration mark on this trick. I use it so that when I upload the cut file in Design space it will be exactly the size of my paper.
I tried all the steps and all 3 of my prints aren't cutting exactly where it should cut. 🥺 i made all sizes 8.627x11.694 both in design space and PS. What else could be wrong?
Hello, size of the cut image in design space is 8.267 x 11.694 while on PS and margin cut it was 8.268 x 11.294 as stated on the first part of the video - was that intentional?
Thank you for pointing that out. Been looking at the video many times to see if I made some errors. And yes the 8.267 and 8.268 are intentional but not the 11.294 where I mistype this while the input in design space is 11.694 not 11.294z.

How were you able to put in a 12x12 cut mat when Cricut requests a 12x24 with these measurements?
Even if the cricut requests a 12x24 mat you can easily change the mat settings to 12x24 and still put the 12x12

How do you do if you don’t want to cut the print, but just the stroke of cards ? 😢
What do you mean just the strokes of cards?
@@mcraftsco I resolved my problem, I put background behind my print 👍 I meant the outline of my cards and not the visual inside which is printed
What was the reason for the registration marks? You placed the page in the frame, but I didn't catch the use of the registration marks.
The registration marks are for it to be exactly A4 size when you upload it to Design Space. If there is no Registration marks, you will only upload the image to cut. You will not get the right size.
Will you select borderless A4 to print?
I didn’t select anyhing else in my settings other than the paper size which is A4 and Paper type (glossy or matte depending on your material)
I tried this using 8.5 x 11 inches instead of A4 and it didn't work. When I print the image from Photoshop, the registration marks are not at the borders of my paper, like yours. How did you get Cricut to cut your circles accurately considering the registration marks do not appear at the corner of your page? Shouldn't that throw the cut off?
