Using a Cricut machine to make your own custom designs is a great way to express yourself and make unique projects. With the Cricut, you can print then cut, which gives you an even greater range of possibilities.
What Is Print Then Cut?
Print then cut is a feature of Cricut machines that allows you to print designs onto compatible materials, then have the Cricut machine precisely cut them out.
This allows you to create intricate and complex designs with ease and precision. You can use your own designs or choose from hundreds of images and fonts available in the Cricut library.
How Does It Work?
Print then cut involves two processes: first printing your design onto a compatible material, then having the Cricut machine cut it out for you. To begin, load your design into the Design Space software and adjust it as desired. Then, load a compatible material into the printer tray, select “print” from the Design Space menu, and let the printer do its work.
Once your design has been printed onto the material, remove it from the printer tray and place it on your cutting mat. Load the cutting mat into your Cricut machine and select “cut” in Design Space. The machine will read any registration marks on the material and precisely cut out your design.
Benefits of Print Then Cut:
Print then cut offers many benefits over traditional cutting methods:
-
It is much faster than manually cutting intricate designs.

You can use any type of material that can be printed on – including fabrics.
-
