    • @EricMBoyd
      @EricMBoyd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Correct, big black box is not needed. That is why I made this video.... I needed a way to make more professional products to sell than what Design space and the Cricut would allow. When I made the investiment I was very unhappy with the size restrictions and the face that Design space would turn my art into a printed low-quality mess. I developed this method to circumvent that entire issue. Now I get full quality prints on glossy paper where I can laminate and make look more professional looking. I also now use the full page. This is important as one of my biggest sellers is Die Cut magnets and I hated wasting half a sheet of magnet paper every time I used Design space to print and cut. Now i print from photoshop and use design space to only cut.

    I realize this is an older video, but thought I'd make a note for anyone else struggling like I was. My printer automatically adds a margin. Unlike this video, the software won't let me dismiss the fact that my image is larger than the print dimensions. When I'd print, my registration marks would never be perfectly in the corner, but they were still the same 1/4" size I set them to. (I made sure "Center Image" was turned on, but it didn't make a difference.) That meant that when I set the image position in cricut to 0,0 the alignment was off, even after cutting the tape and setting the page into place on the mat. I fixed the cut alignment by changing that positioning. I still cut the tape rectangle with the position set to 0,0 but when cutting the image I left the dimensions at 8.5 x 11, but changed the position to the width of the automatic printer margin. (In my case that's 1/8" so I input .125,.125 for the position.) It still wasn't perfect (I think reloading the mat shifted it a little) but it's the closest I could get it, and the only usable cut I had after tinkering with settings for quite some time. If your image has enough bleed around it, this will be the ticket. Happy crafting!

    • @EricMBoyd

So if I'm trying to do this all on 12x12 do I even need to use tape? Wouldn't I line up my paper on the 12x12 mat and leave a 0.25 margin in Photoshop and then set up the x and y in DS at 0.25?

      no tape for the 12x12 ... use a 12x12 paper ... BUT in photoshop set your canvas (base background how ever you want to call it) at 11.5x11.5 ... put your registration mark at 0.25 like in the video same thing in four corner .... print it on a 12x12 paper CENTER IT (use the printer or program option for that) ... then in DS size your image a 11.5x11.5 but instead of placing it a 0x0 place it at 0.25x0.25 so ds accept your cut cause its 11.5 and it should work (work for me)
      can i ask what is the method you use to save your ds image in png ??? please

    @JRBCubed 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    This tutorial is FANTASTIC! I ran into a few problems due to my equipment and I'd like to share my solutions if ANYONE is having the same issues I was!
    I am using Clip Studio Paint, Hp Envy 4520 printer, and I have an Explorer Air 2. And the material I'm using is a matte sticker sheet and the self laminate.
    First, don't forget page markers (those little squares in the corners of the page) CSP does not have a specific setting for markers unless you are doing storyboards for comics, so just add 4 squares yourself and save that 8.5" x 11" page as a preset for all your full page sticker needs.
    Now that's all fine and dandy, but my cuts were reaaally offset after setting up everything here correctly shown in the video. I found out my printer does not support borderless printing on letter-size pages, so the prints were coming out with a 1/8 of an inch border on all 4 sides.
    The way I tackled this was testing out the image size and positioning in Cricut. For some reason setting x= 0 and y= .125 and keeping the image size 8.5" by 11" works PERFECTLY! I thought since the boarder was there each side had to be reduced by .125" and the image had to shrink down by .25" on each side. To my amazement, all I had to change was the Y-axis.
    And with the laminate and sticker sheet, I made a custom material and set it to 325 pressure. 300 was almost on the mark, but 325 works perfectly.
    Other than all that, my printer stopped printing color for a bit, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver countless times. Don't ask me how I fixed that I don't even know.
    I hope this helps someone having similar issues!!

    I understand the print size for Letter and A4 are different. When I cut the 8.5x11" guide on the painters tap, then put my printed A4 paper within this guideline, it didnt fit.
    What is the workaround please? (Im from the UK so have never printed on the Letter print size)

    • @EricMBoyd
      @EricMBoyd  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can use all the same techniques with UK A4 paper just need to change the Cut on the painter's tape to match your size paper. UK A4 is 8.27x11.69 in the US we use 8.5x11, so change your cut and you should be good.

    @DorneDawn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    yeah.. it works! :) I used CorelDraw to prepare the registration marks. However I did find watching how he did it in 'inkscape' to be helpful as well. For instance, he gives the size of the registration marks that he uses.. mine were way too big until seeing his. In my 'trials' I used a pen in place of the blade which I was glad of because to start with I didnt use the registration marks at all !! Couldnt see a use for them. Stupid me.. Cricut uses them to size the page instead sizing to whatever was in the middle of the page. I learn the hard way. To make the mat last longer I dont have the blade in during the cutting of the registration marks or I can see that cutting repeatedly in the same place would wear out the mat in that spot. Now all I have to do is fathom out why on earth Cricut actually cuts 'twice' when only supposed to be once. But thats another issue. So grateful to Eric for giving his time to video and let us have how he does this 'work'. Bless yer heart honey, great stuff, thanks again.
