Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut Essential Bundle

With the Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut Essential bundle, I can easily make the cutest stickers in any shape. I also print razor-sharp photos on glossy photo paper and create designs using handy templates in the Cricut Design Space app. Printing and cutting do make some noise, but I find that perfectly normal.

First impression This Cricut pocket printer is larger than I expected, but it still fits easily on my desk. The box contains a power adapter, an ink cartridge, 18 sticker sheets, and 18 photo paper sheets. The size of these sheets is 10 x 15 centimeters. Before I get started, I insert the included ink cartridge into the pocket printer from the back. The paper tray on the right side is removable. I flip open the lid and carefully place the sticker sheets inside. After this, I flip the lid shut again and place the paper tray in the paper feed. Now I plug it into the wall outlet and briefly press and hold the power button until a white light comes on. Personal designs in every shape

I download the Cricut Design Space app on my phone and log in with my account. I click on ‘Set up a sticker machine’ and follow the steps. This is how I connect the sticker printer to my phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In the app, I start my first creative project. What makes this pocket printer unique is, of course, the cutting function. That is why I start by making stickers. I scroll through the hundreds of templates for photo stickers, labels, and tags, and select a nice set of animal stickers. I click on ‘Create’ and the printer gets to work. At first, I only see a yellow color, then red, and then suddenly the colors are exactly as they should be. The StickerPix also laminates my prints so that they remain beautiful and protected. After this, the printer cuts out my stickers. After a few minutes, my design is ready, and I stick a sticker on my laptop. In addition to the many fun templates, you can also create personal designs. For example, you can generate sticker designs using AI or add photos and text yourself. Razor-sharp and colorful photos Besides the stickers, I want to print a few more photos. I upload sharp photos from my phone and add a colorful border. I also put the right paper in the tray. Otherwise, the photo wouldn't fit properly in a photo frame, of course. I am impressed by the good quality and ease of use of this photo printer.

This Cricut really surprised me. It prints beautifully sharp and cuts out your stickers without any hassle. While you sometimes hear that other models are difficult to calibrate properly, that isn't even necessary with this one.

I unboxed it and paired it with the app. Some instructions on how to use the Cricut appeared on my screen. Fortunately, this is very simple! Remove the packaging, insert the cartridges and paper, and you can start making your first prints right away.

To use the Cricut, you need the Design Space app. This is very user-friendly. You have enough options to create your photos or stickers exactly how you want, yet the number of settings remains manageable.

Printing and cutting my sticker sheet took about 4 to 5 minutes in total. The ink didn't need to dry afterwards, so I could use the stickers immediately. The colors are slightly more vibrant on paper than on my laptop screen, but the difference is actually negligible.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. Definitely recommended.
