You have to put in a cartridge to cut anything out. The Cricut
machine does not store any images. You must put in a cartridge or hook it up to the Gypsy
The Cricut
itself doesn’t have any images imbedded in its software. You have to use a cartridge to do anything at all with it. I’ve had mine for almost 2 years, and if it can do something on its own, I have no idea how to make that happen.
Hi:
Circut comes with a program called “Design Studio” with let you change and import other images on there cartridges to your computer than download it to one of the cartridges.

I hope this helps
The Cricut
Machine is a cartridge based system. It does not have any images loaded into the machine.
The Design Studio software (sold seperately) lets you take the images on the cartridges and make them your own. You can rotate them, skew them or even weld them together to make one big design. The Software does not load any images onto any cartridges or load them onto the machine. With the software you can see and design with all the cartridges that Cricut
has but you can only cut with the cartridges you own. You have to have the cartridge loaded into the machine to cut with the Design Studio Software.
The Gypsy is basically a portable Design Studio. You can load the cartridges you own onto it but again you can’t cut with a cartridge unless you own and have loaded that cartridge onto the Gypsy.
There are third party softwares that let you take fonts and shapes from your computer and cut them with your Cricut
. They are not endorsed by Cricut
and Cricut
does not encourage you to buy them. I do own one and love it! I still buy cartridge too though. These softwares do not load the images onto your Cricut
either so you do need to have your Cricut
plugged into your computer each time you use any of the above mentioned softwares.
So simply put:
alone? : No
Are there any images that come on the Cricut
do you have to have a cartridge to get any images from it at all?: Yes
