Hi Abbi
I need some help with the print then cut...I draw my own images in procreate and I use 5, 000x5, 000 DPI 500 and I made some pupils for other crafts however when I upload them as PNG they show up on design space all distorted and cut off and not in a perfect circle 😢 I'm not sure, what to do? I'm trying to get these pupils printed and cut at a certain size which starts at 0.3cm to 2cm I'm very frustrated and do t know where else to turn can you please help me out I would really appreciate it thank you so much!❤❤ Blessings🙏
