Cricut Launches StickerPix Machines with Built-In Dye-Sublimation Printing
The StickerPix Print and Print + Cut integrate dye-sublimation printing and lamination, combining print and cut capabilities into a single machine for the first time.
Cricut has launched two dedicated desktop machines for photo and sticker creation, marking the company's first hardware unit that merges cutting tools with a built-in printer, according to a report from Engadget .
The lineup includes the base Cricut StickerPix Print and the multi-function StickerPix Print + Cut. Previously, crafting durable stickers with Cricut hardware required an external inkjet printer, standalone laminating sheets, and a separate cutting machine. The new hardware simplifies this workflow by consolidating printing and protective finishing into single desktop units.
Both machines rely on dye-sublimation printing, using heat to transfer dye directly into the substrate before applying an integrated laminate layer that resists water, scratches, and fading. Unlike Cricut's standalone cutters that support fully severed die-cut designs, both StickerPix models are limited to kiss-cut stickers that remain attached to a backing sheet.
The compact StickerPix Print measures 7.8 by 5 by 3.5 inches and supports 4-by-6-inch photo paper and Cricut pre-cut sticker sheets. The larger StickerPix Print + Cut measures 8 by 11.3 by 4.1 inches, accepts 4-by-7-inch sticker sheets alongside 4-by-6-inch photo paper, and uses an integrated blade to cut custom contours beyond preset templates.
Both devices require the Cricut Design Space application on desktop or mobile platforms, which interfaces with Cricut Access, the company's optional design subscription. The Cricut StickerPix Print and Print + Cut are available now for $169 and $299, respectively, shipping with an ink cartridge, photo paper, and sticker sheets.
