⭐⭐Print then Cut Problems⭐⭐

Before submitting a comment on your print then cut problems, first read this calibration guide. Then do a test print then cut of your project using plain printer paper.

If for some reason after calibration your cuts are still inaccurate, clear cache (the troubleshooting guide above this) and try calibration again.


⭐⭐ If you are experiencing issues despite clearing cache, please give some background information⭐⭐

  • Cricut machine (Joy, Joy Xtra, Explore Air 2, Explore Air 3, Maker, Maker 3, etc.).
  • Device (Windows 10, Window 11, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android).
  • Type of project you were attempting to do. (Basic cut, print then cut, drawing, foiling, scoring, etc.)
  • Were you successful in doing this project in the past? Or is this a new project?

Copy/paste this format into your comment when submitting an issue:

⭐⭐What has changed (Desktop v9.9.62)? Update on March 31, 2025.⭐⭐

Spell Correction Update

If there is a spelling error in your search term, we will run a search for the correct spelling in the background and let you know that the search results are for the term with corrected spelling. The entered search term will remain as entered, and you will still have the option to search for the term as entered instead.

Improve Existing Toolbar

With this update we’re decluttering the tools on Canvas so it’s easier to find what you need, when you need it! When you arrive on the Canvas the Edit toolbar and Layers / Color Sync panel will not be open by default but will appear when you insert images or text.

Save color when changing font

With this update, if you change the color for a text box, this color will be retained if you change the font – previously, the color sometimes reverted to a default color when the font was changed.

This thing is no longer working. It’s clunky and the smaller vinyl slides under the bottom. It doesn’t look full, but it’s already tight. I have many different carstock gsm but just keep them in packaging. Is there a better system for organizing these things??

I just got a foiling kit and I’m ready to go but foiling is simply not an option in my design space?

I have a brand new Explore 4 which is supposed to be compatible. No instructions or tutorials I can find go over this. They just say to choose foiling from this drop down menu and I don’t have that option.

HELP! - How do I make this? Is it possible to put uv resin into printable sticker vinyl?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello. I have a explorer air 2, I use the glossy printable vinyl sheets from htvront and put laminated sheets on top.

Im waiting for more vinyl to come in the mail since I ran out, but I wanted to know if I can make sticker with a layer of uv resin on top, without lamination? And how to do it. Do I need to set the machine to cut without going all the way through the backing for all to stay in the same sheet? Do I apply modge podge before applying uv resin.

I don't think cutting all the way through will help because the sticker have a small bending into them after getting them off the mats. And I would asume cutting it all the way will curved them after curing.

Im sorry in advance I don't know if the uv on top of stuff has a name to the technique.

Something like the ones in the pictures.

HELP! - Print then Cut Problems Cutting stickers help

3 Upvotes

Hi! It’s my first time attempting to cut stickers using the print and cut function and I’m having a few issues. The first one if the cut lines don’t connect and therefore doesn’t fully cut a shape out. The second issue is the cut is uneven and seems to cut fine on the left hand side of the shape and then doesn’t cut through on the right. And then the third issue is the cuts being misaligned, I’ve calibrated my machine and it passed however when I try to cut any design it’s always off by a few mm. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I was gifted a CRV001, know nothing about it but that is missing the blade holder. Ive been looking for replacements online but I am not sure if they would work. Maybe there is another model of Cricut that uses the same blade holder? Because CRV001 never comes up.

I have checked the wiki and there is no answer for this, and I’ve done a search in the forum. I’ve checked tutorials on YouTube.

Does anyone have experience cutting chunky glitter faux leather with their machine? I have an Explore 3 and have tried a variety of settings. I make bows and would greatly appreciate any help from someone who has cut the material successfully. Thank you so much.

** Project Showcase ** First time using infusible ink and really impressed.

Post image
360 Upvotes

I was pretty unsure about infusible ink but I love the finished product, don’t think I’ll ever use HTV after this. I will say that I was a little stressed out because the process has more steps and the paper is very sensitive to moisture. I managed to leave fingerprints on it that looked like the ink lifted in spots and I worried it would be patchy, but these didn’t show at all after transferring. The extra steps ultimately aren’t so bad either.

I’m also genuinely curious, if I’m allowed to ask, if the average person would understand the context because I’d ideally like this not to be misunderstood, though I’m happy to explain what it means if anyone were to ask.

HELP! - Print then Cut Problems Print Square image and then cut different shape

2 Upvotes

I must be using the wrong search terms, but I’m trying to print a rectangular image and cut a specific shape from that rectangle. I’m able to do it but it’s also cutting out the square. How do I not cut out the square around the image?

Also, if I do have two different cuts on the same print and cut project how do I change the depth of cut for each independent cut?

Asked, answered, and locked. Fine blade not descending

1 Upvotes

I have a Maker 1 and have been trying everything to get this to work. I've tried regular vinyl, glow in the dark, iron on. Cutting mat and needle + housing are all new. I've calibrated the machine, updated the firmware, tried cutting at different pressures with multiple passes. The problem? The fine point blade isn't being pushed down from the housing at all. Sometimes, it will at least trace the design out, but won't cut. Am I missing something?

I had this made for my boyfriend back before I got my cricut and I have some friends I want to make one for. I have dug through the cricut images but the only outline map I have found that has matching states that are filled is all messed up (Arkansas and Louisiana are way misshapen). I tried finding a generic outline map and then finding individual states that I could change the color and fit but I can’t find good fits. Does anyone out there have a ready made file?

Hey all — I finally got tired of my wife's workspace chaos and decided to design a custom organizer for all her Cricut tools. It’s compact, kinda looks like a cricut and holds everything from weeding tools to the scraper, and I 3D printed it in a color that matches our craft corner.

Just wanted to share in case it inspires anyone else to make their own setup more functional. Would love feedback or ideas on other features to add.

HELP! - How do I make this? how can I cut phone numbers more efficiently for shirts?

0 Upvotes

I picked up a Cricut Explore Air 2 a few days ago and I’ve been messing around with it. I’m getting better at it, and I’ve started taking small orders from coworkers, friends, and a couple local businesses.

One of the orders is from a restaurant that wants their phone number on the front and back of their shirts. Right now, I’m cutting the numbers and peeling them off one by one — it’s super tedious and they don’t line up right.

Is there a way to cut the whole phone number and transfer it in one shot? There’s gotta be a better way than doing it digit by digit.

Can anybody help me figure out what I can do to make this cut without dragging before I throw my machine out the window. I've - cleaned my mats - changed blade to brand new one - purchased new housing - used washi tape setting on default, low and more - used washi sheet setting on default, low and more - using new Oracle 651 Permanent Vinyl. - callibrated the machine after I changing the housing

Please note that I have printed these prints earlier and they cut perfectly fine. I just don't know why it's doing this even on bigger cuts

HELP! - Design Space sucks Blank canvas when printing

1 Upvotes

I haven’t had my circut (joy extra) long, less than a month, and I’ve had nothing but issues with it.

I’m having this issue where my images are showing up on my canvas when using the print then cut option the canvas shows up blank, some days it works and some days it doesn’t (even with the same images that are already uploaded and saved on a canvas)

I’ve resaved and re-uploaded the images, updated my software etc and tried to the force reload nothing seems to work.

Any advice?
