Cricut Owners

Good Afternoon

I am hoping someone might be able to help me. I am trying to establish if its worth forking out for a cricut expression machine when I sell my car. I currently have a big shot but I understand that the Cricut is much more versatile but am finding it difficult to get an answer to one burning question, mainly because the husband is driving me crazy asking. All shall become clear.................

The husband is making a Proton Pack and it needs to have vinyl stickers on it in different shapes, all are available to download/cut and paste but my question is re the cricut can I can copy and paste the "stickers" put them into Make the cut/Inkscapre/SCAL and then print and cut them using a cricut. I hope this is making sense to all you know how peeps.

If it will do this he is prepared to go halves with me on the machine (what a bonus huh) but I am unsure if it will print out the colours he needs them to be and whether in fact you can do this or must you use the cartridges to cut the images/wordings they have created?

Thanks in advance.

    Have a look at the silhouette machine. I dont know all the ins and outs as not bought one yet but it cuts vinyl, connects to your laptop and comes with pens so you can draw (whether you can draw on vinyl is another matter) Here is the link. Craftsulove in Surrey stock them.
