Cutting already printed images on a Cricut creative cutter can be a great way to add a personal touch to your craft projects. With the help of the Cricut Design Studio software, you can use your printer to print out whatever images you’d like and then cut them with your Cricut machine.
This process is easy and allows for endless possibilities when it comes to creating unique designs and embellishments for your crafts.
To begin, you will need to select the type of material that you want to cut on your Cricut. The most common materials are vinyl, adhesive paper, cardstock, and fabric.
Once you’ve made your selection, it’s time to prepare your design for cutting.
If you’re starting from scratch, then you can use the Design Studio software to create and customize your design with text, shapes, and other elements. You can also upload existing designs or images into the Design Studio software in order to start creating something unique.
Once you have created or uploaded an image that you’d like to cut out of vinyl or other material, it’s time to print it out on your printer. Make sure that the image is centered correctly on the page before printing it out so that it will fit correctly on the material when cut by the Cricut.
Cutting Printed Images
Once your design is printed out and ready for cutting, place it onto a cutting mat with the printed side facing up. Load this mat into your Cricut machine and select “Print & Cut” from the main menu in order to begin cutting out your design from its backing material.
When choosing settings for cutting printed images with a Cricut machine, make sure that you select “Vinyl” as the material type and adjust any other settings such as speed or pressure accordingly. It’s also important that you select “Print & Cut” mode so that any registration marks around the edges of the printed image are detected by the machine.
After adjusting all settings accordingly and pressing start on the machine, sit back and relax while it cuts out your design perfectly! Once finished, carefully remove any excess vinyl or paper from around your image in order to reveal its beautiful final result.
