Print then Cut Issues Constantly
1 out of 5 stars
Stephanieinjuly - 2 months ago
originally posted on Cricut
I use my Cricut for my business, where I need to accurately cut images that are imported into design space. It took me almost a week to get it set up to be cutting properly, just constant alignment issues. But I eventually got it working, and it accurately cuts maybe 50% of the time. It will just be slightly off most of the time for no apparent reason, and it really decreases the quality of my product. Today, it just randomly started cutting everything about 2mm off. I've tried literally everything to fix it. Uninstalling Design Space, updating firmware, cleaning sensor, and about 50 Calibrations (which by the way the calibration sheet in design space isn't accurate and you need to download from the website instead.. ???) Nothing is fixing it. This is on saved projects in design space that I've cut probably 50+ times before, so it's not a user error. I haven't changed anything on my printer, on design space, or on the saved projects that previously cut acceptably. So pretty much I'm at a loss and have to go back to hand cutting after wasting a day trying to fix it. So basically my final thoughts are if you are buying this for the Print then Cut feature, don't bother. It doesn't work most of the time and you will waste a ton of product and time and frustration trying to get it work on a weekly basis. For a machine this expensive, you shouldn't have to work so hard to get basic advertised features to work.

I wish I had not bought this. A waste of space and money. I could do better with an X-Acto knife. The software is awful. It seems like it is missing 30 updates. Not to mention, you can't use this if your internet is down or if you're for some reason not connected.

It stopped working within a few months of purchasing it. I wasn’t able to print and cut or connect via Bluetooth. It was so difficult to get in contact with their support team due to my time zone. When I finally got in contact with them they pretty much just told me to buy a new one and hung up on me! Very unprofessional and disappointing!

I bought this machine in 2020. Soon after I bought the machine it began to have issues. After several cuts the blade mechanism gets lazy and does not come up off the paper. The blade will cut one continuous line and damage the paper. I've called time after time and the same temporary fixes were made with the support people. After 3 years of dealing with this issue, I got a support person who was honest with me. They told me that the machine has been broken from the start and despite trouble shooting (which I did on the call with them again) it will continue to be broken because it is a mechanical issue. He confirmed with me that he could see the call records of me trying to resolve this issue back when the machine was under warranty, but would not honor the warranty. Now 3 years have gone by, I am out of warranty and the best they can do is give me a small amount of money to put towards a new machine. The most frustrating part is that this issue could have been resolved under the warranty since the issues with the machine were evident in the first year! I should not have to pay for a new machine just because their costumer support staff was unable to correctly identify the issue the first several times I called. This is extremely frustrating because these machines are not cheap yet seem to be made poorly. The money that they have given me to "resolve" my issue to put towards a new machine does not make it any better since at the end of the day it is still a crazy amount of money.

So much effort. Will not cut correctly with laminate on top no matter which glossy hacks I try.
1 reply from Member Care team - 4 months ago
Thank you so much for your feedback regarding the glossy material. Glossy paper may interfere with the machine’s ability to read the cut sensor marks, which is likely why you are seeing this issue.
