+ solution 3 : Try using a new mat. Each mat will last anywhere from 25 to
40 full page cuts, depending on the size of cuts and the kind of material
you are cutting.
Problem : The cutting mat is too sticky. It’s ripping my paper when I try to
remove it.
+ solution : Use a craft knife or the Cricut Tools
™
(sold separately) to suc-
cessfully lift the material from the cutting mat. The Cricut Tools
™
are
custom designed for lifting, pulling, or cleaning up cut characters.
Problem : The print quality is poor.
+ solution 1 : Use the print head alignment and cleaning procedure found
on pages 30 and 32.
+
solution 2
: The print cartridges may be running out of ink. Check the Ink
Level indicators found on the Settings screen. If replacement is neces-
sary, install only Cricut Imagine
™
ink cartridges.
Problem : When I insert the mat and click the Go! button, the Cricut Imagine
™
machine pushes the mat back out or pulls it completely through the machine
and out the back.
+ solution : When inserting the mat, stop pushing when you feel resistance
from the back of the print rollers. If you push the mat in too far, it will
push the mat out.
Problem : The image printing and cutting are mismatched.
+ solution 1 : Recalibrate the print-to-cut alignment using instructions on
page 32.
+
solution 2
: Replace the cutting mat.
Problem : The printed image is longer on one side than the other.
+ solution : This is usually caused by the mat being fed into the rollers
crooked. Be sure to feed the mat in straight with both of the corners
touching the print rollers at the same time.
