The Print And Cut Feature on Your Cricut

There are so many amazing projects you can do with the print then cut feature on your Cricut! I bet you’re ready to start right now! However, once you do start, you quickly realize that your prints aren’t turning out as great as you’d hoped. For example, when print dark colors – like black or navy blue, they might seem dull or faded. I know, I’ve been there too!

The Myth about Quality Prints

This might make you come to the conclusion that in order to complete your print then cut Cricut projects you need a great printer! And while I did write a blog called The Best Printer for Party Decorations, I’m here to tell you that you don’t need an the best printer! Printing beautiful and vibrant colors for your print then cut Cricut projects is easier than you think!

It’s all About The Best Paper For Vibrant Print Then Cut Cricut Projects

So here’s the big secret about printing vibrant colors for your Cricut projects! It’s not your printer! It’s your paper! ::GASP!:::

That’s right. The secret to making gorgeous and vibrant print then cut projects with your Cricut is the paper! So let’s discuss the Best Paper For Vibrant Print then Cut Cricut Projects.

Best Paper For Vibrant Print Then Cut Cricut Projects

Some of the Criteria I had for the best paper for Cricut projects was that the paper be matte. After all, I didn’t want shiny projects. Additionally, the paper had to be light enough to feed through the feeder of my printer. (Paper weight is actually a very interesting topic that you can read more about in The Best Printer for Heavy Cardstock Paper). After searching for (and buying!) a ton of different paper variations, I found my favorites. Here are my recommendations for The Best Paper For Vibrant Print then Cut Cricut Projects.

The-Best-Paper-to-Print-with-For-your-Print-then-Cut-Projects

Inkpress Duo Matte Paper: This paper is a good thickness. It never tears when I am using my print and cut feature on my Cricut. Additionally, this paper is double sided. This means that you can print on both sides if you wanted to, and it would look good on both sides.

Epson Ultra Matte Premium Presentation Paper: This is also great paper in terms of the thickness and brightness of the paper. It prints quality and vibrant colors every time. This particular paper is one-sided. This means that this paper is bright white on one side, but a little more yellow on the backside. (i.e. the backside won’t look cute.) This Epson paper comes in a double sided option as well.

Now that you have my recommendations for the best paper to use with your print then cut feature on your Cricut, you’re ready to craft up a storm! I hope it was helpful. For more Cricut related blogs, see below.

    […] There’s a few reasons why your printer is so important to Cricut Print and Cut projects. First, there’s the fact that you want to have vibrant colors on your projects. And if you’re like me, the first time you did a Cricut print and cut project, the colors turned out dull or faded. If that’s the case, I have good news for you. You might not need to buy a new printer. In fact, if you just switch up the paper you’re using, it might be all you need to do!
