Print and Cut is a feature of the Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore Air 2 that allows you to print an image on paper, then cut it out precisely with a Cricut machine. However, if the machine is not properly calibrated or if there are any technical issues with the machine itself, your Cricut may not be able to cut out your design as accurately as you need it to. This article will explain why your Cricut may not be cutting properly on Print and Cut and what you can do to fix it.
Blade Settings
One of the most common reasons why your Cricut may not be cutting properly on Print and Cut is because of incorrect blade settings. The type of blade that you use will have an effect on how well your design is cut out by the machine.
If you are using a blade that is too dull or too sharp, then it can cause issues with cutting accuracy. Make sure that you are using the correct blade for the material that you are working with.
Material Selection
The type of material that you are trying to cut can also affect how well your design is cut out. Some materials require a different type of blade than others in order to achieve precise cuts. You should always check the recommended material settings before beginning your project in order to ensure that you are using the correct settings for the material.
Calibration
If your Cricut is having issues cutting precisely on Print and Cut, then it could be due to an issue with calibration. Your machine needs to be calibrated correctly in order for it to make precise cuts on any material. You should consult your user manual in order to learn how to calibrate your machine correctly.
Technical Issues
In some cases, technical issues can cause problems with Print and Cut accuracy. If all other factors seem correct but you are still having issues with cutting accuracy, then there could be an issue with either the software or hardware of the machine itself. If this is the case, then it would be best for you to contact customer support for assistance.
Conclusion:
Understanding why your Cricut may not be cutting properly on Print and Cut can help you figure out what steps need to be taken in order to fix it. Issues such as incorrect blade settings, incorrect material selection, or calibration errors can all cause problems with cutting accuracy.
In addition, technical issues can also lead to inaccurate results when using Print and Cut. If all else fails, contact customer support for help troubleshooting any further issues.
