One of the reasons I opted for the Ultra was so I would not need a secondary cutting machine, with that thought in mind: 

How can I easily print stickers from another program and then bring the physical sheet to the M1 Ultra for cutting the stickers out? I understand the Ultra can print and cut, but I do not want to waste ink on sticker paper when I already print them in high quality from a separate printer. 

So far, I have found no tutorials, XTool or otherwise, on an easy way to do this that doesn't make me want to return my machine and buy separate devices. 

What I want to do: 

Create stickers in Photoshop.

Print stickers on Epson 8550.

Cut stickers out with M1 Ultra. 

I have tried outlining the stickers in PS and creating an SVG file from the outlines to bring over to XCS, but the program, most of the time, sees it as a Bitmap image even though it is a .svg image, so it says it cannot be processed. 

I have MANUALLY outlined the stickers in XCS using the pen tool. It worked, mostly, but it was very time-consuming, full stop. Doing this for each and every sticker sheet is not feasible. 

I've copied over one outline of a sticker, outlined it with XCS, and validated the marking, and it still cut offset, though it was already offset from the stickers. 

There HAS to be an easier way to do this, or this machine is very much not a “Cricut” killer; it's only killing my patience.
