Well I'll be damned!!! This video is 6 years old. I feel embarrassed by just now finding your videos. Also according to the comments you are the holy grail and the goat! Thanks for sharing❤

Wow. Just wow 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Three years old and still one of the best videos for this. I've watched this video like 5 times...

The cold press laminating trick is the real MVP here. This is probably the most helpful and complete video on how to make high quality die cut waterproof stickers I've seen. THANK YOU.

I know this is three years old, but it's just a brilliant tutorial. Thank you for Cricut cheat. It's 'cutting corners really', thank you again. Carole, London UK

This is by far the best cricut hack video out there! I am so thankful for the time you put in to give us step by step instructions. The tips along the way were extremely helpful! Thanks again Eric! 2 years later and we are still discovering your wealth of knowledge!

Praise be to thee, oh Master of ye Cricut. Thanks to you, I can finally cut images that I printed with Photoshop on an A4 piece of paper. If you consider 99% of the world use this format of paper, you are nothing but a superhero! Thank you, so much!

I was reading the comments and thinking "there's no way this video is that great..." but then holy moly this tutorial is GOLD, great video with perfect explanations. You're an incredible person.

Found your video after reading a post on Facebook about how much it helped her. I had to watch it a couple of times but I finally understand and really appreciate you making it. I haven't used print and cut in a while because of the waste. THANK YOU for sharing.

Bro, you held my attention for over 30 minutes, congratulations! Thanks for the tutorial. I'm in the beginning research stages of starting my own decals service and I'm shopping for a good vinyl cutter.

Brilliant! Thank u didn't think about just using the cut feature full sized. That's been my biggest hang up between Cricut vs Silhouette

Fantastic tutorial!!! Got my Cricut yesterday and my expectations at using print and cut option were definitely not met. I could not calibrate it because it always prints the wrong size. With your tutorial I finally managed to make first stickers sheet. Still need practice but you helped so much. Thank you!!!

Man, you are awesome, where have you been all my Cricut life! I love it. thank you sooooo much for sharing. Now I just have to get Photoshop for my Mac and I'll be all set. Thanks again.

Huzzah! You, sir, are a genius! Thank you for being so thorough with this awesome tutorial

Just completed a successful full-page sticker print with your awesome tutorial! Thanks for the help - you the man!

Dude, this is totally pro. I can't even say how impressed I am. Trying this for sure. You earned a subscriber, thanks for sharing.

Whaaaat.... do you know how many times I've messed up a project because i had to take the mat out? You're a genius. I've watched millions of cricut vids over the years and not once did anyone ever do anything in this video.

Great tutorial. Also, loved the tip about taking the blade out, and putting it back in. That was a good tip as well.

There was not one minute in this video where i was not impressed! This video answered EVERY question I had!!!

Awesome tutorial! I’m an original Cricut user (remember the cartridge days?) and you just proved that one can always learn a trick or two from geniuses like you! Thanks Eric!

Excellent tutorial my friend! You are the REAL MVP! This is fantastic!

Awesome, I had some tricks similar to this but the use of the tape really makes it much more accurate. Great video, thanks for sharing I will be using this trick.

This all seems so simple, yet it never crossed my mind. Thank you for sharing such helpful tips. I can't wait to put them to good use.

OMG!! Thank you so much for this tip! I love that I can now print and not feel like I'm wasting so much paper just to 'Print & Cut'. Your AWESOME!

Man totally impressed.. thanks man for sharing.. much appreciated Eric

I realize this is an older video, but thought I'd make a note for anyone else struggling like I was. My printer automatically adds a margin. Unlike this video, the software won't let me dismiss the fact that my image is larger than the print dimensions. When I'd print, my registration marks would never be perfectly in the corner, but they were still the same 1/4" size I set them to. (I made sure "Center Image" was turned on, but it didn't make a difference.) That meant that when I set the image position in cricut to 0,0 the alignment was off, even after cutting the tape and setting the page into place on the mat. I fixed the cut alignment by changing that positioning. I still cut the tape rectangle with the position set to 0,0 but when cutting the image I left the dimensions at 8.5 x 11, but changed the position to the width of the automatic printer margin. (In my case that's 1/8" so I input .125,.125 for the position.) It still wasn't perfect (I think reloading the mat shifted it a little) but it's the closest I could get it, and the only usable cut I had after tinkering with settings for quite some time. If your image has enough bleed around it, this will be the ticket. Happy crafting!

Thank you for this. I was so frustrated trying to figure this out that I was almost brought to tears! hahaha You saved the day.

I came back here to tell you thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This video saved me so much material. I can't like the video a million times or I would.

Cool... just the information I was looking for... thanks! (I've been doing printing, digital prepress, die-cutting, scoring, etc. for 30+ years... you totally nailed it on all of the concepts and "work-arounds" to get the Cricut to maximize its capabilities)... Thanks Again!

Thank you so much for this! I just got myself a Cricut today and was getting a little frustrated that I couldn't get it to cut what I needed from what I printed. I had the right idea, but was missing just a little. Thank you so much for this!

Dude, you're a lifesaver. This was the best thing I could have foujd. Thank you so much

Absolutely brilliant. I make a lot of stickers and labels. Had to believe there was a way to save all the wasted paper. Found this and it showed me way more than just what I needed to know. You showed me things I needed to know that I didn't even know I needed to know. Thank you, Sir!

OMG I have watched so many videos in the last 48 hours on How to do this and either no one truly understands FULL Sheet or they just don't know what they are doing. THANK YOU!!! I Wish I would have found you before all the Noise! This is Perfect!! You are a Great Teacher!!

Wow! Genius. Seriously had me thinking, dam he’s smart, definitely going to be using this idea. Thanks so much

I ordered the Cricut Maker yesterday. I will try to do this from Illustrator :D Thanks for the video

My Goodness, this is GENIUS! Thank you SO much for sharing this!!

I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days....this is a life saver!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for the guidance, I’m starting a business and it’s so disheartening to buy such a expensive machine and continuously failing lol I appreciate it so much, keep doing what you do!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU .... i've been looking for a solution with my cricut for 1 month now and you just solved it ... i test it with 8.5x11 with 12x12 and with 12x24 and it WORK so THANKKKKK YOUUUUUU :)

OMG thank you so much... I've spent countless nights trying to figure out how tp use a full page to print and cut... you've just eased my life

YOU ROCK. I just got a Cricut and the misalignment issue has driven me crazy ---- for HOURS. Thank you for sharing your process. Really --- THANK YOU!

Very intricate process just for the set up. I am going to save this for latter when I get a little further along. I use Photo shop very well but not ready for this.

BAM! Now THOSE are hacks!! Brilliant manipulation of files and machines to do what we need them to do. Absolutely fantastic!

Thank you so much! I know you made this video a while ago but it has really helped me along with the ink scape tutorial. These were super helpful. Definitely the best video and most helpful!

This tutorial is FANTASTIC! I ran into a few problems due to my equipment and I'd like to share my solutions if ANYONE is having the same issues I was! I am using Clip Studio Paint, Hp Envy 4520 printer, and I have an Explorer Air 2. And the material I'm using is a matte sticker sheet and the self laminate. First, don't forget page markers (those little squares in the corners of the page) CSP does not have a specific setting for markers unless you are doing storyboards for comics, so just add 4 squares yourself and save that 8.5" x 11" page as a preset for all your full page sticker needs. Now that's all fine and dandy, but my cuts were reaaally offset after setting up everything here correctly shown in the video. I found out my printer does not support borderless printing on letter-size pages, so the prints were coming out with a 1/8 of an inch border on all 4 sides. The way I tackled this was testing out the image size and positioning in Cricut. For some reason setting x= 0 and y= .125 and keeping the image size 8.5" by 11" works PERFECTLY! I thought since the boarder was there each side had to be reduced by .125" and the image had to shrink down by .25" on each side. To my amazement, all I had to change was the Y-axis. And with the laminate and sticker sheet, I made a custom material and set it to 325 pressure. 300 was almost on the mark, but 325 works perfectly. Other than all that, my printer stopped printing color for a bit, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver countless times. Don't ask me how I fixed that I don't even know. I hope this helps someone having similar issues!!

Eric :) This is awesome, thanks for taking the time to create this! Very helpful.

Thank you! This is just what I was looking for. I print and cut shrinky paper, which is not cheap. This will help me make use of every last bit of paper!

Thanks, thanks, thanks!! Great tutorial...is what I was looking for!! You are a master!!

Awesome work Professor, from start to finish your tips and tricks answered a lot of my question I had prior about using a Ciruit product. Great work👍👍👍

It's ridiculous that we have to come up with hacks instead of cricket just allowing full page prints.

I have watched this so many times. It's the best way to Print and Cut on Cricut. Thanks!

THANK YOU for this! Saved me so much time and money. I've had my cricut for years and it's barely been touched since it caused so many frustrations! I could never find a tutorial or way to cut stickers like this.

Fantastic! You're awesome, thanks for this! So much great stuff in this video alone. I can't wait to see more from you!

witch tab you touch to disperse the registration mark?

Hi Eric, very educational. You explain everything so well and at a speed that is very easy to follow along. Thanks for sharing.

I just recently bought a Cricut maker, and spent a frustrating day trying to match cuts to the printed image. I wish I’d watched this video first!. This is by far the most useful information I’ve seen about the Cricut. Thank you ever so much!

This actually works & Microsoft word can be used as one of the software programs but it's a few work arounds such as converting to png image to upload to design space. Hopefully this helps someone else.

I watched this because I was trying to help someone else with a Cricut. This is why I don't own a Cricut. Other machines will cut a full-page print and cut without tricks. I don't understand why the limitation on Cricut! Genius workaround though. But my Zing does it without all these tricks. I think the Silhouette does too.

As photoshop user, this convinced me to switch to cricut. It has stronger cutting force than silhouette. This hack is really great to all cricut.

I Just watched this whole video and I don’t even own a cricket 😂 thanks KZfaq

When I say you are a genius you are. You need to start your own Fb group

I've done this the hard way. I printed, laminated and cut LOL doll images for my daughters bday party, before they came out with the party favors. I'm trying this with my new cricut! Thanks.

my man!!! hats off to you, Eric. This was propa good! thanks!

I was going to ask WHEN the real video started, but looked at the comments. It looks like you impressed a lot of folks so I'll gratefully watch the full video. Thanks!

I'm having a hard time lining the paper up correctly to where it's cutting by a lot. Tried re-positioning the paper placement a couple times but it's not working for me

Dude, my jaw dropped when you pulled the blade out of the machine to re-align everything! You're very resourceful!! This helped a ton!

I know you've had hundreds of comments but I have to say this is one of the best tutorials I've seen on this machine. Thank you!

Would this still be the same process since design space has updated, the print then it has a whole square now and not just the corners ?

Can I use this method to print on A4 paper or do I need to specifically buy papers of Letter size? I understand the print size for Letter and A4 are different. When I cut the 8.5x11" guide on the painters tap, then put my printed A4 paper within this guideline, it didnt fit. What is the workaround please? (Im from the UK so have never printed on the Letter print size)

This is a GODSEND. I was about ready to either return my machine or chuck it out the window because it was absolutely a crapshoot for how it cut out my already printed images - THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is the only solution I found that even came CLOSE to what I was trying to get help for and it hit my problem dead on. Thank you thank you thank you thank you

This is sincerely the most useful Cricut hack video out there. I appreciate your step by step instruction. It works perfectly!!

But how did you add the registration marks? What did you click? And was it done one DS or a different program?

yeah.. it works! :) I used CorelDraw to prepare the registration marks. However I did find watching how he did it in 'inkscape' to be helpful as well. For instance, he gives the size of the registration marks that he uses.. mine were way too big until seeing his. In my 'trials' I used a pen in place of the blade which I was glad of because to start with I didnt use the registration marks at all !! Couldnt see a use for them. Stupid me.. Cricut uses them to size the page instead sizing to whatever was in the middle of the page. I learn the hard way. To make the mat last longer I dont have the blade in during the cutting of the registration marks or I can see that cutting repeatedly in the same place would wear out the mat in that spot. Now all I have to do is fathom out why on earth Cricut actually cuts 'twice' when only supposed to be once. But thats another issue. So grateful to Eric for giving his time to video and let us have how he does this 'work'. Bless yer heart honey, great stuff, thanks again.

Absolutely awesome!!! Thank you so very much for this excellent video!! I've been trying to figure this out for a few days and haven't got it to work. Now I'm confident I can do it. Thanks again for your help!!! 👏👍🏼👏👍🏼👏👍🏼👏👍🏼👏👍🏼👏

WOW! Great System you created!!!Now to try and Follow this haha~ Thanks for Sharing!

When my mat loses its stickiness...I just spray a little bit of adhesive spray on it and it like brand new again.

Will this work with Microsoft word?

Wow, wow, wow.... I am a newbie to Cricut & you just opened a world of possibilities for my "Creatively Bent Personality"

Thank you Eric! this was helpful, thanks for sharing.

I just watched this whole video and I dont even make stickers with my cricut..... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Aha! You have to be 10% smarter than the Cricut!! That, I am NOT, so thank you!

Eric thank you so much for this video!!! It is the best tutorial I have seen from start to finish. I do worry about running out of ink in my printer. Your stickers here are beautifully detailed and colorful. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Totally Awesome!!! Thanks for showing us!

I was ready to throw my cricut out the window until I saw this. Thank you

thanks for the tutorial. just a suggestion, try cutting your videos a little more to just what is necessary. there's a lot of extraneous footage here and it could've been a short, 10-15 minute video instead of 33! i was dying to get it over with, lol. no hate, just a suggestion.

Eric, your tutorial and method worked like a charm for my full page size, extra large one image iron on. I've never used Adobe Photoshop but you made it easy enough. I used HP inkjet to print on Jolee's Easy Boutique Image for Dark Fabrics first. My Cricut Explore Air 2 did the cutting. The off-set white background worked beautifully. I made a few adjustments, like welding a lot of empty spots, but ultimately, the project turned out perfectly. Thanks!!!!

This is what I was looking for since last week!!!! Thanks a lot sir!

Way too slow and draggy to have a video. I don't have the patience to wait for him to get to the point.

wow, I just tried this and it works perfectly, you're a genius! thank you for sharing this!

:-O omg the registration marks are def the key to getting the cut right on!!! I've spend so much time/paper trying to adjust it manually. Thanks for the video!!

Love this, Thank you so much for posting this!!!!

This was such an awesome tutorial! Thankyou so much for sharing! I am going to try this. :-)👍

Hey Eric, thank you for all the work you put in to make these awesome videos! I am trying to print and then cut as you are showing on legal size with a the 12x24 mat and it’s off and I wanted to know if you have to often recalibrate your circut? Thanks

Super awesome!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is a great way to keep your cuts aligned. Thanks for sharing!

Hey all It's 4/6/20 and this hack still works. I have a new Cricut Explore Air 2 and the latest version of Design Space. You're amazing for figuring this out Eric - thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

hi, eric thanks so much for your time and patience.. i did it on my silhouette cameo which makes it so much easier cause you don't have to use photoshop,inkscape or any other program to make the registration marks.. just do it all right on the silhouette studio.. i recommend if you going to invest on another cutter get the silhouette cameo. i have both cricut and cameo.. if i knew how to send pics i'd show you what i did. again thx sooo much!!!

Holy hell! Where have you been all my life? Thanks for the *oh so helpful* tips doll~ respect from Arizona

Dude you’re the video I’ve been looking for!! My explore 3 kept on shrinking my print under 5x10 making it useless for my product. Saving this and trying tonight.!!

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been tearing my hair out for the last 3 days because print then cut is such complete garbage. Using your method fixed my issue with inaccurate cuts when using glossy paper.
