There are even images called “printables” specific for print and cut. If you have Cricut Access, then you have tons of images at your fingertips. There are several options and I wanted to touch on most of them.Īll of this is in the video at the end if watching me do this in CDS helps more! Using Images from Cricut Access

So let’s get started in Cricut Design Space on how to actually design some images to use for print and cut. Update: I have a new tutorial on how to use self laminating sheets to make waterproof stickers! Designing Images for Print then Cut

Both great!Įven though the printable vinyl is removable, it did not move at all during the hand washing process!Īfter the test, I decided I got the best results with images on printable vinyl with a layer of Mod Podge for a water bottle. The top sticker had spray and bottom had Mod Podge. Printable vinyl is thinner and sticks very well but if you were wanting to get it off it you can and it doesn’t leave much of a residue if any. In general, sticker paper is much thicker and some people have problems getting it through their printer. From what I’ve read, most people don’t have issues, but if you have a laser printer and are experiencing difficulties printing on sticker paper or printable vinyl, that is probably why! Printable Vinyl vs Sticker Paper Laser printers heat the paper during the printing process which can melt the layers together. You can pretty much use any PNG file or SVG files to print and cut.Ĭricut advises using an Inkjet printer with both of these papers. So let’s use print then cut to make some stickers for a water bottle! Since these stickers are going to get wet I wanted to see which material was going to be the best to use. These images were cut out on cardstock and added to my coffee cup gift card holder I made. Cricut will group all of the printable images together and cut them out at the same time.
You can cut and print multiple of the same image or different images until you’ve reached the max size. If you try to print an image or file larger than that, you will get an error message telling you to reduce the size. They used to be dependent on which browser you are using. Cricut Print and Cut Size LimitĪnother drawback is the size of the images you are able to print and cut. The Cricut Explore Air can only cut white material while the Maker can cut white to medium colored papers. Make sure to always read the directions on your sticker sheets material.Īs I mentioned, both the Cricut Explore family and Cricut Maker can print and cut but there are some differences between them. However, an inkjet printer is recommended for the majority of the materials because the thicker materials will get stuck in a laser printer. You can find printable sticker paper, clear printable sticker paper, waterslide paper, printable iron-on vinyl, printable vinyl, paper, and cardstock all in the required 8.5 x 11 inch size. The one drawback is that you can only print on an 8.5×11 inch sheet, which is what typical printers can handle anyway. Whatever your printer can print, the Cricut will cut. One of the main ways people use the Cricut print function is to make your own stickers.
Let your Cricut do the work for you so there are no more uneven edges or hurt hands! Think of it this way… no more trying to cut out those very intricate images on cut lines you print with scissors. (Your Cricut can draw/write with markers, but that is different.) Design Space sends it to a connected home printer to print your image and then you place the printed sheet of paper or cardstock on your Cricut mat and the Cricut will cut it out. The Cricut doesn’t actually print your image. You actually need to use a printer along with your Cricut Explore Air or Cricut Maker. Print and cut is a little different than your normal cutting of vinyl and iron-on vinyl.
