Here’s an unbelievably annoying problem that occurs during the Cricut Print and Cut process – a thin line or border appears around the design you create, even when you’re certain there’s no border in the design. When you send the design to print in Cricut, this thin line magically appears during the Print Setup stage. If you go ahead with the print and cut, this unwanted thin line remains, which looks like this: Despite multiple checks to ensure no lines exist in my design, the issue persists.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
