    Love having the bell turned out for all the notifications. What a fun surprise and a helpful video. I have started taking a picture with my phone to help me see the cut lines better.

    Thank you Michael for another very helpful tutorial. I will have your video on while
    I calibrate my machine. I can start and stop when needed. Thanks again for everything.
    Take Care! ♥♥🥰

    Hi Michael,I cannot get my cricut maker to calibrate, after printing paper and loading it,it won't read the lines?

    Once again Michael, you have made my experience easier. Bought a Cricut 3 about a month ago, haven't used print then cut yet. So thank you. 😄Linda (Didn't know Siser was coming out with a new machine DANG IT lol)

    I calibrated my Air 2 for the first time last evening as I am new and am still learning. I still didn’t have the courage to do a print then cut. I will soon. 😊
    Oh yes, my copy paper got pretty stuck to my mat. I had to scrape it off. I need a hack for perfectly lining up my transfers to the mat. I finally got by using some wax paper to keep the paper from sticking to the mat like a magnet. I used wax paper because I didn’t have any parchment paper. This helped me line the paper up without it prematurely sticking to the mat. Got it that time perfectly and was able to correctly calibrate my machine.
    Thank you 🎉

    Thanks for this. My printer is an epson, and no matter what I try, I cannot get the dialogue box to give many options. My problem is, it’s normally on mirror. We don’t have the option while doing print/cut to change it and I always print in mirror. I have tricked it once but can’t remember how 🤣 to do it again. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the video, helped a lot. But I get stuck every time... My Maker 3 cuts the lines about an inch to the left. I have watched a bunch of videos and tried a bunch of techniques, but it cuts the same every time. Do you perhaps know why?
    Thanks 🙂

    I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I followed this tutorial as well as your waterproof sticker tutorial and I'm trying to print and cut 3 different images on the same sheet of printable vinyl and the first two images are the only two that cut accurately, the next 2 are a little off and the last 2 aren't even close. I've tried 3 different times making sure my vinyl was aligned properly on the mat as well as making sure it is loaded into the machine as straight as possible. Cricut Explore 3 here. Any suggestions?

    I have had the circuit maker for about 9 months. I used it twice when it told me to calibrate, I started the process, and it told me to install the fine point cutting blade. it was already installed, but the machine still wouldn't read it for some reason. Multiple attempts, and she went in the closet after failing miserably. tomorrow, I will bring her back out and watch your video again in hopes for some success. thank you for your tutorial.

    Hi! I am using the latest version of Design Space No.8.7.66. This version does not seem to have the 3 lines that the version you were using. All it has is the word HOME. I am also using a Maker 3 Machine. I suggest that maybe you may want to explore this version to see if you can find where the word Calibration is hiding. This version has moved many things around. I hope you can find the Calibration word so other members can find it also. I have not been able to do so. Good Luck Crafty.

    • @vickigray6493
      @vickigray6493 7 місяців тому

      I recently had the same problem - here is what I found that worked for me... In Design Space in the upper right corner click on your name, then click on Settings. You will see different tabs - click on Machines, then you will see Machine Calibration. Select Cricut device and follow the instructions. It was pretty easy once I got there. Good Luck and I hope this helps you and anyone else struggling.

      @NMrick505 Рік тому

      Not sure anyone said you did however, there are many folks who seem to complain on Facebook and/or Cricut forums about issues after an update to Design Space. The standard answer is to calibrate and that generally fixes their problems. I also do it whenever I change printers.

  • @kjmav10135
    @kjmav10135 Місяць тому

    My print then cut calibration has been: print the calibration sheet. Put it in the blue mat. Stick it in the cricut. Push the buttons. Watch the blade slide one way and then the other. Watch it stop and do nothing. Wait for something to happen. See if there was some button I was supposed to push that I didn’t push. Wait for something to happen. Turn everything off and turn it on again. Repeat process. Turn off Cricut. Get out scissors. Cut out stickers. I hate that I spent $400 on this thing.

    Does it work on a sublimation printer 🖨️

    • @rachaelkershaw4627
      @rachaelkershaw4627 Рік тому

      Yes, however you may struggle to get the correct colours printing directly from cricut design space. If you download a virtual printer that saves your image from cricut DS as a PDF or PNG then you can access the image from another programme such as Photoshop to get the correct icc profile that your printer requires to get the colours right. But yes, theoretically you can print then cut directly from design space to your sublimation printer but if the colours don't look right then try the above ☺️
