Print Then Cut calibration sheet standardized across platforms
Before, the Print Then Cut calibration sheet would be slightly different sizes depending on which platform it was printed from. This update corrects those differences, making the calibration sheet the same across all platforms. This standardized sheet now contains a version number, and the letters along the right of the page have been shifted a little to the left.
Note: There are no functionality changes; if you’ve already printed the current version of the calibration sheet, it still works.

Destination page update
Now, when a video tile is included with other tiles on a destination page, the video will be displayed across the full tile.
Separate Cricut Explore family in New Product Setup
