OMG this is so helpful. I am new to Cricut and spent all afternoon designing one (1) label and then the text was missing. How do you get the black text to print?
OMG!!!! I have been struggling trying to design my labels for 2 weeks and you explained everything PERFECTLY!!!! Now, I know what I’m doing wrong. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Hey, I am a bit confused on how to print on this cricut with no ink. Do I have to put ink on this cricut if so which one do I buy? It’s asking me to calibrate. Thank you! Your video has been extremely helpful.
Hi Candy, you would need to print them using a regular printer. When you choose the “print then cut” feature it will print a black box around your design so that the Cricut machine can scan the box to understand where to cut. If you’ve never used the feature look up a video on “Print Then Cut Calibration” so your machine is set to make accurate cuts. Hope that helps!!
I’m more confused than ever. Are you using Cricut markers to print the font or are you printing on a regular printer then applying the paper to a Cricut mat? How do you know where to line up the cut?
Hi Kristy! You print them using a regular printer. When you choose the “print then cut” feature it will print a black box around your design so that the Cricut machine can scan the box to understand where to cut. If you’ve never used the feature look up a video on “Print Then Cut Calibration” so your machine is set to make accurate cuts. Hope that helps!!
So glad someone already asked. I was a bit confused if I had to print or if the cricut did it all. I wanted these clip labels from target but for $10 only to get 2 in a pack. I decided I was gonna make my own. I’m going to buy these bin label clips and buy my own labels on them. But had know idea how to do it. So I’m glad I found your video!! So wish me luck!! Thank you❤
Hi! Thanks for the video. I did everything but when it’s time to cut is just goes into scanning but doesn’t do any actual cut? Did something similar happened to you?
Oh no! I didn’t experience that when making mine. That sounds like an error with your Cricut and could potentially be an error with the Print then Cut feature if you’re not having trouble with regular cut settings. I would recommend looking into calibrating your machine for print then cut, I have had to do that before to get more accurate cuts. If you Google “Cricut print then cut calibration” you should find lots of tutorials that can walk you through it. I hope this helps to get you back on track!
Hello. Thank you for this lesson If I want to start out using this cricut Machine, what are all the tools that i need to purchase. I will appreciate your swift response on this Thank you
Thank you so much Colleen!! I'm coming up on a year with my Cricut and still learning myself! So happy I was able to break this process down in a way that is beneficial and to have you as a new sub! ☺️
Oh man, I would try to calibrate your machine for print then cut if you’ve not already done that. I remember having to do that the first time I used print then cut to get accurate cuts. I also saw someone in the comments here said they were having trouble because they forgot to “flatten” before cutting. I hope one of those things help to get you on track!
@@KrystaMeeker Thank you so much for the response. Unfortunately, I have calibrated and they were flattened. It may be my machine, I will check my warranty. Thanks again! 😊
how does this hold up when washing the containers? any advice on making this waterproof so I can wash the containers with the labels on and they wont be affected?
I've been hand washing mine without issue for a few months! I linked the specific sticker paper in the description if you need. I haven't been putting them in the dishwasher intentionally but it has happened a couple of times and they made it out fine. I'm not sure how they would hold up over time if you put them in the dishwasher regularly though. Hope that helps!!
Hi Lori! That's so exciting, you'll love your Cricut! I have a very basic printer and had no issues printing on the Premium Vinyl Sticker Paper that I used, so I would imagine most printers could get the job done! The exact sticker paper I used is linked in my description if you need. ☺️
Thank you so much for this! So far almost every tutorial I’ve seen uses a printer and not a Cricut, which has totally confused me. One question - can you explain the number you put on the label? Does each category (‘grains’ in this instance) have its own assigned number? I’ve seen the numbers before as well but am not sure what the purpose is. Thanks so much!
@@KrystaMeeker I'm very confused now. I thought I saw you printed in HP and cut in Cricut. And I'm trying to learn how to do that. I just printed in a dell printed and I'm struggling with how to cut it.
@@meyrodrigueskelly8609 correct, the Cricut does not print only cuts but you do have to choose the “Print then Cut” setting in Design Space so that your program knows to add a black box around the labels for printing. Once they are printed you put it through the Cricut and your Cricut will scan that black box so it knows where to cut. This video was primarily focused on the labels alone. I would search for a walkthrough video of a Cricut’s “Print then Cut” feature to get a visual of the process. Hope that helps!!
Hi Pia! I used a Vinyl Sticker Paper. If you'd like a direct link to the exact paper I used, it's in the description box for you. I purchased from Amazon. :)
Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I completely missed that part. I have an Explore Air 2 so I set my dial to "Custom" on the machine and chose Sticker Vinyl Paper from the options within Design Space.
