Cricut – What does it mean to cut, print then cut, weed, etc.?

March 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

I often get asked what it means to “cut,” “print then cut,” “weed,” and “score;” this is incredibly confusing for folks new to Cricut. Let me give you a brief explanation, and then you can watch the video.

Cut: You use this operation when you want to cut a piece of material; there are different types of cuts based on the machines you’re using. Cricut Maker, Explore, and Joy all have a basic cut operation. Cricut Maker has a couple more types, like wavy and perforation cut.

Print then cut: For this operation, you will need an Inkjet-printer and either a Cricut Maker or Explore; this operation is NOT available in Cricut Joy. Remember, you can only print then cut a max dimension of 6.75″ x 9.25″.

Weed: this is a process used to remove extra material for your design. You mainly use it with Iron-On and Adhesive Viny. If you don’t have 20/20 vision, I recommend getting a Cricut Bright pad.

Score: It is used to help you make folds, mainly when making cards and boxes.

The video below is going to show you show you understand better what are each of the operations.

A menudo, las personas que son nuevas en Cricut me preguntan qué significa cortar, “imprimir y luego cortar”, weed y marcar. A continuacion les voy a explicar cada una de estas operaciones, y luego pueden ver el video. 

Cortar: utilizaras esta operación cuando deseas cortar una pieza en el material de tu preferencia. Existen diferentes tipos de cortes según las máquinas que esté utilizando. Cricut Maker, Explore y Joy tienen un corte básico, y Cricut Maker tiene un par de tipos más, como corte ondulado y corte perforado.

Imprima y luego corte: Para esta operación, necesitará una impresora  a tinta y una Cricut Maker o Cricut Explore. Esta operación NO está disponible en Cricut Joy. Recuerde, solo puede imprimir y luego cortar una dimensión máxima de 6.75 “x 9.25” equivalente a 23.5cm x 17.2

Weed: Se utiliza para eliminar el material extra para su diseño. Lo usas principalmente con Iron-On y Adhesive Vinyl. Si no tiene una visión de 20/20, le recomiendo que obtenga Cricut Bright Pad.

Marcado: Se usa para ayudarte a hacer un pliegue, principalmente al hacer tarjetas y cajas.

El video a continuación les ayudara a comprende mejor cada una de las operaciones.
