WHY DO CRAFTERS TALK SO MUCH.... WHEN PEOPLE NEED THESE VIDEOS THEY WANT THE ANSWER NOT ALL THE TALKING!
Because we're in our rooms crafting all alone and we have no one to talk to but ourselves in our machines LOL😝😝😃😃
I’m sitting here like WHAT IS THE ANSWER
Exactly. Get to point.
They are so lonely bro
Holy Crap! 5 minutes in and he still hasn't gotten to the point.
Yeah, I thought the same thing but I was desperate so I waited it out. Lol
Yes. For the love of Christ, a 12+ minute video for 60 seconds of instruction. And it didn't even help! Thanks for wasting everyones time!
lmfao
Lol, ya’ll here complaining yet couldn’t figure it out without others help. So quick to talk trash when I took my time to attempt to help people. It’s helped plenty of people, and if you don’t want to listen to me talk, it’s so easy to just go to the next video, lol.
Raymond Knight where can I find the other videos?
Like you and most of your viewers, I wasted countless hours, paper and effort trying to get this to work. Cannot believe how easy this was after all of that frustration. THANK YOU for taking the time to create, post and save us all from killing our Cricuts
I want to cry I'm so happy! I have been fighting with my cricut for hours. Countless forums where nothing helps..I was about to return it, and I was SO upset…and then I came across your video - the sharpie trick worked and I am so happy! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
+Kimber5387 I'm so glad this helped you! You'll enjoy your machine.
I cannot THANK YOU enough for this video. I tried for 6 hours and spent one hour on the phone with Cricut staff to get my machine to calibrate!!! ......to NO avail. They are supposed to call me back on Monday to try to help me further. Then, I found your video and IT WORKED. Circuit should be paying you for this!!! Thank you again so MUCH. I will be telling them about this, though they are very nice and try to be helpful.
I love you!!!! Struggled with this, and now the sharpie has eliminated the struggle!!!!
ahhh!!! Thank You!! After two hours and wasted printing I finally saw your video and it worked the first try!
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I spent over an hour trying fix it then gave up. Thanks to your video I fixed it and my motivation is back! Again thank you ever so much!
This worked perfectly, thank you soo much! This was made 4 years ago, from me watching, and I noticed the cut marks on my Explore Air are a solid box around the image, apposed to L marks in the corners, but it worked great after I darkened the lines with a permanent marker.
You've definitely got a new Sub from me!
just tried the marker and still doesn't work.....ready to take back
Hey everyone. Sometimes in shipping dust settles on your optical sensor. Take a fine brush and clean off the sensor with a painting brush. Sometimes the answer is simple.
Where is the sensor?
Where is the sensor?
After two hours of trying various methods (grayscale, best setting, sharpie, a dark room...multiple times), I put cardstock in my printer, clicked PRINT, changed the COLOR to BLACK AND WHITE, changed QUALITY to 1200 dpi..and PRINTED. It worked like a charm! Explore read all of the marks & completed the calibration!!
literally the only thing that worked!!!!!!!!! you posted this video 6y before I had the issue and your suggestion is STILL the solution. Cricut needs to do better.
just spent the last hour very very frustrated. wanted to thank you as your simple tip saved me from tears! appreciate this!!!
I can't thank you enough for posting this video!! I was out of time and at the end of my rope. This video saved me a ton of time and aggravation. Thanks again!!
It worked for me! I was fighting with my machine cutting up my stickers and this sharpie trick worked. I hope it works for me ever time. Thank you so much.
I know this was 8 years ago, but thank you for this video, it worked just as you said it would. Although, I did waste a few hours trying to figure out the issue, I'm so glad I came across this video. And people in the comments are ignorant, you do not talk too much, everything you were saying was important.
Wow! Unbelievable. It was the quickest easiest fix!!! Thanks for including that the line doesn't have to be straight. Worked first try!
Thank-you so much! I was spending so much time as well trying to fix it and was ready to send back! I really appreciate your help!!
Thank you so much for this! I was so frustrated & this turned out to be a game changer for me. Really appreciate it!
This just helped me so much. I was in the middle of a big order and this kept happening... Thank you!
Life Saver this absolutly worked for me!! I was bawling my eyes out before finding this video!! Thank you.
Thank you for posting this! I was struggling but I cleaned my printer heads and it works perfect now!
The first trick helped me. Thank you! I spent 2 hours fighting with my cricut and calling customer service, but your video helped
Thank you so much! This worked for me! I spent hours trying to calibrate my machine with no luck. I tried your method and it worked like a charm! I can’t thank you enough 😊
It worked!!! I had to seriously lengthen the bottom sensor mark, but it worked! The line wasn't even close to being straight. I couldn't believe it!! Thank you so much!!
It WORKED!!!!!! Thank you so much! i tried, i marked all the sensors and it actually saved my paper. i used to just discard it and try again and again until i found this video. the intro was a bit long i could not wait to find out how so i skipped. but omg, it really worked!!! thank you thank you!
Thank you so much! I was so frustrated last night tried possibly everything but your tutorial made it possible! Thanks again!
OMG! You are a life saver. I have had my Cricut Explore One for a week. I was trying to create iron on images for little cloth drawstring favor bags for a child's birthday party. First, my computer couldn't find the Cricut Explore One device. I spent 30 minutes on online chat with Cricut customer service. They could not solve the problem - but I found someone on You Tube that could! That problem was solved. I could finally print the image on the iron on paper but the Cricut Explore One couldn't cut it - so I had to hand cut each image. Ugh. Coincidentally, I thought to myself last night, maybe I'll try to hand darken the cut lines and then I found your tutorial and you did that!!! I can't wait to try to see if this helps me. I will probably never call Cricut Customer Service help line again. I will go straight to You Tube tutorials!!
Thanks for all the suggestions and video. Unfortunately none of them worked for me. I had to call and send them a picture of a calibration sheet. Quickly the tech had change printer settings to color (darker blacks), chose "letter" and un-check the "fit to page" box. Worked like a champ afterwards.
You single handedly answered better than this video. Thank you.
How do I change my printer settings on ipad
The quick fix still works even after all these years. (Ya'd think that Cricut would have fixed it or published the fix on their own website by now.) Thanks so much for the tip!
I'm so glad you shared, it was driving me bonkers trying to figure it out. THANK YOU!
Wasted an hour trying to figure this out. THANK YOU for the help, the sharpie idea worked great for me!
Thank you! I was _so_ frustrated! Sharpie actually didn't work for me, but once I knew the problem I was able to print on "best" quality and it worked. Bless you!!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you....you saved my life with this video!!!!...After wasting several sheets, I was about to give up and decided to check TH-cam...after watching several wasted videos..I came across this one and it's a real game changer.....THANK YOU!!!
OMGGGG THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER!! So Grateful for this video, thank you so much!
Thank you! Saved me hours and hours of searching and trying to fix it. I still had to use a sharpie AND turn lights off, but I got it to work :)
Oh my goodness you just saved me HOURS trying to figure this out- thank you so much!
Wow I was fixing to give up and just hand cut my items until I found your video. You saved me so much time. I thought about doing this earlier today too but your video confirmed it for me my whole day was mostly waisted of just trying to get it to work lol
Two years after you making this video, THANK YOU THANK YOU! I could not get the print then cut to work for me. This sharpie tip did the trick! I was about to throw my cricut out the window. LOL Again, thanks for sharing!
Man, What a great tutorial! I got the new Cricut Air 2 for the print & cut & was so dissapointed when it didn't work. I will definitely try this techique. Thanks! I subscribed.
I just want to thank you for this video I was giving up because it wouldnt read my sensor cuts but i just went over it with a marker and it worked Thank you again
I paused the video and went and tried it and it worked!!!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! This video just saved my life. Any suggestions on how to get higher quality prints in the design space?
You’re video was incredibly helpful. Thanks for taking the time.
Great tip. Worked for me on the first try. Can’t thank you enough
Expert undeniable.. watched a lot of do's and still couldn't get it right. The markings are perfectly black but sharpee makes it more darker. Thank you! You are the best!
Thank you!!! It worked perfectly after I used your Sharpie technique.
Okkk this video took off slow but babbby when he got to cooking he got to cooking this hack has saved me big time as I prepare to make my own wedding programs I literally hand cut 100, time material and money wasted … this helped out so sos much thank you
OMG it worked!! Thank you! My problem was that it would only cut one of the two pictures printed. But I did what you said and put it back on and it cut them both this time. Thank you so much!
OMGOSH 😳 IT WORKED 😳😳😳 AFTER ALL THAT STRESS 😩 IT FINALLY WORKED. I THANK YOU SO MUCH... I GAVE UP... BUT I STILL DIDNT GIVE UP. OH MY GOD. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌
Excellent! Thank you for all the hard work you did to bring this to us! What a frustrating experience AND not to mention the wasted time and resources I went through! I would get my scissors out so that I wouldn't waste anymore paper and ink! THANK YOU! I have my trusty sharpie sitting next to my Cricut!
I just stumbled across this video and your sharpie trick worked like a charm! Thank you so very much!
This Sharpie trick is fabulous. Thank you
What a great video! I will try this when I get home! Should I use a sharpie pen on all the sensor marks or just the top right one? Thank you so much!
First: Thank you! Of all the things I've tried over several days, THIS has finally worked.
Second: My Explore Air 2 uses a full, rectangular border for the cut marks. (Every video and picture tutorial I've seen for cut mark problems have shown those same corner hashes as in this video. I kept thinking that my problem was that the cut marks printed for my projects was incorrect. Well, they aren't. They now work... with the Sharpie trick.)
Third: I'm still amazed that this was the solution.
cheers.
Darell Dickey did you color in the border all the way? Or just a black line throughout
Update the sharpie worked but please work on getting to the point of your videos. Thanks 😉
Mine still won’t work 😢
Thank you so much for sharing!
No wayyyyyyyyyyyy! Seriously just like that? I does work unbelievable.. at this point my back hurts from been several hours, already lost my projects etc… a virtual 🤗.. thank you soooo much
you saved my cricuts life because i was about the TROW IT!!! Thank you so much for this
Omg it work every time now!! Thank you for tips on the mat!!
This worked thank you so much! My printer didn’t print the black lines right so I had to use a black sharpie like you said, and it worked great!
This has been driving me mad for days. Solved instantly just watching your video. Didn't need to go over the sensor markers with a pen, I changed my printer settings on my printer to print best quality and use black, worked straight away. Thank you for restoring my sanity 😅
Thank you. This was very helpful and saved hours of time.
Thank you! Had this issue this morning and I was pulling my hair out. My ink was just slightly low in my printer - still looked very dark black to me. But the sharpie did the trick!
This just saved my life thank you!
Think you so much brother...used a black marker it definitely worked.. you're a lifesaver
Thank you! I couldn't figure out what was going on with the sensor issue! What a quick and easy fix. Is this going to happen when I print anything or just for instanced of calibration?
Omg! Thank you I was running low on black ink but was print and cutting in colour. I’ve had my cricut about 3wk now and had to use TH-cam a few times to sort issues out it is a gd machine but temperamental at times. I used ur method and it worked. Thanks again x
You SAVED MY LIFE. Thank you very much!!!
I just had this issue and I know this is a 7 year old video, but perhaps it can help someone else. Also I acknowledge that the software has certainly changed since this first video. I did the sharpie thing and it worked! I also needed to increase the quality. There is an option, at least now, to "use system dialogue" when printing. Maybe it's always been there, maybe it wasn't available for Mac (I'm on Windows), but with the dialogue opened I was able to adjust the quality and the resulting print had dark enough lines that it didn't need the sharpie. Bottom line, the sharpie trick worked for me, so did changing the quality. I'm very appreciative of this video because it gave me a testable hypothesis and while I've wasted several hours already, this video saved me from wasting several more or giving up on my project. Thank you again, sir, I hope you are well.
I just spent hours trying to figure out why it stop cutting my print and cut. Thank you for this video you fixed my problem
Ha ha! I spent a couple of angry hours today trying to get the Print then cut to work and then gave up and used my ScanNCut which is not as accurate. Then I had to fix everything with an exacto
Super frustrating day! Wish I had found your video sooner. Sharpie always saves the day
I Love You I Love You I Love You!!! I was ready to throw this dang blasted cricut out the window. I got it to work after watching this video. I truly appreciate you for making this video.
You are a life saver!!! Thank you so much!
After 3 hours of trying to figure out why my Cricut couldn't read my sensor marks I found this video! Thank you!!!!!
Gostaria de ter este vídeo em português
This worked perfectly...thank you!!!
I tried the marker and it worked! It was stuck in cutting mode for about 30 minutes before I tried it. My cricut Maker was fresh out the box so I was kind of disappointed and frustrated. Your video was the first video I clicked on to search for a solution. Thanks! 👍🏾
thank you so much!!!!! you really helped me with this video - at last i succeeded
I wish I could hug you!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you!! This took care of it!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I also became super frustrated and this saved my paper and time!
Thank you so much i legit thought i just was never going to fix this. I have been hand cutting them out
Thank you!!!! I’ve been having the same problem!!
Lifesaver! i was so frustrated with the cricut not reading the censor mark
Also... the curling the mat thing works too... i was so angry at the cricut for not setting the mat right
Okay so seriously hard to watch but after waiting for you to get to the point I tried the Sharpie and it worked! Glossy waterslide is a pain in the rear but it worked thanks!!!
Thank you so much! I was ready to pull my hair out dealing with my cricut!
Felt that sameeeeee bout to throw it out the window
Thank you worked like a charm
Thank you so much for making this! ❤
This worked for me! thank you
Thank you, Thank you, a MILLION times Thank you!!!!
You are a life saver. Bless you!
preciate it i actually forgot about this trick. thanks for the reminder
what worked for me when I got the print then cut error was to go the tabs on the top of page and go to linetype and make sure it is on cut then go 1 tab over to fill tab and make sure its on no fill....worked like a charm... hope it fixes your problem
I did what you said and worked straight away!! I think this guys method is crap to be honest, especially if you want the cut to be in a specific spot, marking your own lines will my the machine cut at random edges not inaccurate
U SAVED MY LIFE. THANK U!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! You saved me from throwing my Cricut through the window! Worked like a charm!
This worked for me! I had to use a thicker Sharpie (fine point) but it worked. I was using Koala brand Inkjet Sticker Paper and an Explore 2. Thanks for the tip!
thanks so much for all of your help it works perfect
Thank you sooooooo much the sharpie trick worked for me
Thank you so much this helped a lot
