Eric, thank you! I just got a Maker 3 to do all kinds of stuff and I did not have the patience to watch all these other videos to figure out a decent workaround for the 9 x 6 print and cut restriction. I heard that you could use registration marks but no one was willing to get out of frickn’ Design Space to do it! Awesome video, keep up the great work!

I knew there had to be a way to do this through PS. I'm so grateful for you taking the time to show us, and you did a great job on explaining and easy to follow steps. I killed my printer last week trying to clean it, but once the new one comes I will be doing this in PS instead of Design Space. :)

Love this! The latest Design Space (6.2.100) refuses to place the cut image in the upper corner of the mat, however. The Attach option is grayed out, and although you can move the cut image around a bit inside the Preview window, it's still extremely difficult to get a reliable placement. I'll keep at it and see if there is some sort of workaround.

I make all my files as SVG in AI because I thought png files degrade when printing them out, does it not matter if my stickers will be smaller - like say 3.5 " high? 2. Can I make my registration marks and sticker layout in AI (save as SVG ) and print and then resave as a PNG for DS for the "cut" part?

Amazing tutorial! How would you do this with kiss cut stickers that have a backing sheet? Normally with Print and cut I upload a PNG of my backing card, I then upload my sticker PNG and attach them. This then gives me a printed backing card with the kiss cut stickers on it. How would I do that this way?

@EricMBoyd 4 жыл бұрын

Same process, just change the pressure on the cuts. I make full page kiss cut and or two half pages out of the same sheet. Works really well for smaller stickers or one or two larger ones. I don't print anything from design space. The minute you upload to design space they reduce the quality of the image.

Excellent. I’ve been wanting to get into designing for planners and stickers, but I don’t even own a cricut. You made this look easy. Plus, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with such a high approval rating. Question: to add the white area, couldn’t you just use a white stroke? Also, if you wanted your stickers to peel off with no white area, could you do the reverse and have all the cut lines inside the pics?

@EricMBoyd 5 жыл бұрын

White stroke in PS? yes, you could the only thing about that is I smooth the white space around an image to make cutting easier with no sharp angles. You are less likely to tear a page this way.

When I'm put into design space I am selecting 8.5x11 0 0 on the border. It seems to be doing something funky with the border. but I can't seem to figure it out. Help me OB Wan, you're my only hope.

@EricMBoyd 3 жыл бұрын

Are you printing borderless or centered? Make sure borderless is off. Also maybe realign the mat and retape and cut the page size. Also, make sure your paper is truly 11x8.5 sometimes it says it is and is actually larger. If the squares in the corners are cutting right then the issue could also be the printer. Hope this helps...

Hey Eric. I did everything you did and my cut was way off. In the cricut app it does ask what size your material is when you go to cut it. Is 9x12 the right choice? It may be because I don't have a full bleed printer. Hp printers suck since photos always have a border and not true to size.

Thank you so much. I got all the outlines on but when I took it into design space the first row cut spot on, the following rows dropped dramatically. Do you know why

@EricMBoyd 3 жыл бұрын

might be your printer I have seen this misfeed and mess up the cuts... Could be the machine too, but sounds like a miss feed... if the registration squares cut correctly its the printer. might be a paper sizer issue too not being true 11x8.5

@nevian66 6 жыл бұрын

on the Cricut mat page your image appears .25" off the top and left edges of the mat (@8:58) - how does that affect where you place your printout on the mat? also, how does the "Print Settings" options (Borderless Printing, Black and white, etc) affect the print vs cut?

I can't get my cuts to line up properly! Cricut has been calibrated 3 times so far and everything I try yields the same offset results. I have a HP Photo Envy printer, settings set to 8.5x11, center position is checked and borderless is set to "off". I've tried printing with and without a border and nothing helps. I notice that with both options my (black) registration squares don't seem to print out 100%. I'm at a loss and have wasted so much paper! Any advice, tricks?

Eric any chance you have figured out a way to be able to SAVE the file when you go to print and cut? I was hoping to have my file printed by a copy center and then brought home to cut with the cricut because I wanted to print about 30 sheets.....I was hoping since you are the King of Cricut lol maybe you knew how to when you go to print is there a short cut to save as a pdf or file when on that print screen? If I was able to save it my thought process was it would always line up using the reference marks in the corners and then saving it THEN printing it at a copy center bring it back and then click on the print and cut using the exact image which I had saved as file. THANK you for alll you do your videos are awesome!

The file PNG you create for the cuts can also be the same file you have printed. The trick is you need to make sure whoever you use to print it for you know it needs to print at 100% and does not resize the page in any way. I have never had luck with this kind of thing at Staples or any local store. That being said you still may run into issues with alignment, but I have done this very thing with VistaPrint. I kind of reversed the way I worked. I ordered extra from Vistaprint and then I used some of those to work on a custom Cricut alignment. Basically, I used the tape method to find the sweet spot on the mat to place prints and that worked very well. You can always keep your registrations marks in the same spot and adjust what you are cutting in the middle by moving them slightly to match the print and re-upload the new PNG to DS. I should make a video on this process. I will add it to my list. Thanks for the kind words.

How do you make it to where the printer feeds the page properly? it adds space at the top so it cuts off at the end. i have a canon mx340

@EricMBoyd 5 жыл бұрын

center, no border-less, and I use Photoshop to help control print options. Also rear paper feed is better and more precise.

Hi Eric, quick question which photoshop software are you using photoshop CC, or adobe photoshop shop elements. There are so many out there!!

@EricMBoyd 5 жыл бұрын

Just photoshop the original. I have the subscription and its always the latest version. I pay monthly, but it's my favorite application on my computer and will most likely always be the case. I have been using it for over 20 years.

@maryegloff187 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Eric, Please, could you tell me what photoshop you are using, as my photoshop doesn't look anything like the one your using. I am using photoshop element 14 and finding it hard to follow your tutorial as it not set out like your photoshop. I really want to be able to follow your tutorial as this is something l was to do to my pictures and cut with my cricut machine.

It looks like Adobe Photoshop CC

@kristyb39 5 жыл бұрын

Regardless of which version he is using, you might try upgrading to CC. This can be expensive. Also, when a new version comes out, you don’t get the new features. To correct this, I use an Adobe online subscription. It’s about $10/month and you get the entire current version of Photoshop. I also started out with element. It’s a good place to start learning and not expensive. But eventually the frustration of not having the advanced features starts to wear you down.

Hello! Great video! Just one urgent question. Does the registration mark have to be .25x.25 in? Or can it be any size?

@EricMBoyd 6 жыл бұрын

I do mine .25 inches. 1/4 inch seems to work well. It could possibly be smaller but that size works great. The reason I tend to do .25 inches is that Design Space needs to realize they are part of the image cuts. Sometimes smaller than that DS thinks its a scrap pixel in the image file or something. Hope that helps!

I put the registration marks and got my stuff to print and got everything in design space. My issue is it's not cutting where I'd like. I have my mat taped up and had it cut the 8.5 x 11 out the tape. But when I place the paper in the opening it doesn't cut around my stickers correctly. Idk if I have the print settings messed up or what. When it cuts the first 2 squares it cuts them correctly in the corners but doesn't cut around image correctly. Anyone able to help me??
