How To Do Print Then Cut
The brand of printer doesn’t really matter. As long as your computer or phone accesses the printer, it will work. Whether a laser printer or Ink jet printer is better depends on what you are doing (laser printers don’t handle printable vinyl well or do sublimation printing). The important thing to do is click on the SYSTEM DIALOG when printing. Then when it opens, change the color settings to the highest level. In one of my printers this is call VIVID in the other it is called HIGHEST QUALITY. It varies by printer. But if you don’t do this, your Cricut won’t be able to see the black outline and won’t be able to cut out the print then cut image.
When making the project, place the printed material on the mat and start the cutting. The Cricut will scan the guides (black square) then cut out the image. For more print then cut tips you can look here.
