Such a cool video Jen! I had purchsed the Zyron Personal Die Cutting System when it first came out and it was such a nightmare! I returned it! This Curcuit looks very functional and none of those books to insert! Does it come loaded with the software for different dies, or do you purchase them and add them in somehow? Thanks Jen for taking the time to share this! Great cards as a result too! Hugs, Deb
Thanks for your question Deb! A great question that I too had when I first thought about investing in this product. The Cricut actually works by inputting a cartridge that has many different designs for cutting. The cartridge goes into a slot, each cartridge comes with a keypad that matches up with all the designs. You just press the design you want, select the size of the image you want, and then press cut. The Cricut comes with 1 cartridge, and the Cricut Expression comes with 2 cartridges! The Cricut will cut up to 5-1/2" while the Cricut Expression cuts up to 11-1/2" (that's why you get 2 cartridges, cause it's double the size!!!!). One of the other factors of why I purchased this product is because in the back of the machine, there is a USB port. Which means, in the future - the makers of Cricut may allow their users to possibly use this baby with our computer - wow, can you imagine the possibilities?!?!!
Anyways, I think I went a little over board with answering your question, Deb. Hope it helped!!!
Aloha,
Jen
Jen,
ReplyDeleteNo you did not go over board at all on your repsonse! Thanks! What is the price point of each cartridge? I think I have seen the machine on sale at Michael's Craft Stores, here on the mainland. I will investigate further! Hugs, Deb
Heh Jen:
ReplyDeleteJust some insider knowledge...at Memory Trends Provo Craft premiered a design studio set up for usage with your computer. It is pretty awesome! I can't wait!
Actually everybody they have a software seems will be on to sell
ReplyDeleteon the november you can see the pictures on cricut.com, we will do many things with the cartridges even
put the letters together , and move the designs the way we want.
Great !
