Question by Dee: Is there a way to use a Cricut machine like a printer?
I know a Cricut is a laser cutter but what I am wondering is can I make a template on my computer and have a Cricut machine cut out the letters for me? Or am I only able to use the cartridges available? Is there another machine that would work?

The Cricut is NOT a laser cutter. It uses a blade. You can ONLY use cartridges with the Cricut. You can not use your own designs on the Cricut.

I’m considering buying a Cricut imagine, but im worried that if the printer is a laser ink jet printer that it could be bad for my asthma in the long term; so can anyone tell me the type of ink or printer that it uses?

What is the difference between a Cricut machine and a printer? With a printer you have the internet and its numberless of options. While the Cricut machine only allows you what little the expensive cartilages offer. Can someone go into great detail the differences in what both have to offer?
