Cricut's new StickerPix Print + Cut and StickerPix Print machines allow users to print photos and create custom stickers directly from their phones in minutes. Both devices have received perfect five-star ratings from shoppers, making them a standout gift idea for creatives this Christmas.
Compact Printing Solutions for Photo Lovers
Smartphones are often filled with thousands of photographs from holidays and events that rarely make it beyond the screen. Physical photo albums hold a special appeal, but printing photos can be costly, impractical, and typically involves a few days' wait. Cricut's newest gadgets offer a compact alternative, printing photos on the spot and creating personalised, custom stickers in minutes.
With Christmas approaching, either machine could serve as an ideal gift for scrapbookers, photo album enthusiasts, organisation lovers, or business owners. The Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut machine (£249.99) is a three-in-one device that handles printing, laminating, and precision cutting for stickers, while the Cricut StickerPix Print (£159.99) creates personalised photo prints with pre-cut stickers and labels.
Technology and User Experience
Both machines use thermal dye-sublimation technology to produce ultra-vivid, high-resolution designs that resist water, scratches, and fading. An integrated fine-point blade ensures crisp, precise edges on custom-cut stickers. Users simply load a pre-cut sheet, upload a favourite picture, and let the machine work.
Cricut's CEO Ashish Arora commented: "Cricut StickerPix makes it incredibly easy to turn what’s on your screen into something you can hold, share, and make your own." He added: "Cricut has always been about helping people turn their ideas into something personal and real, and we are so excited to make that even easier with the launch of this new machine line."
Users will need to purchase top-ups of ink and sheets from Cricut (starting at £6.99). The brand's website notes that "Cricut materials are manufactured to Cricut's specifications and tested for consistent performance, and each machine is designed around specific material sizes and feed systems. We can't guarantee the performance of materials sold under other brands." Additionally, "dye-sublimation is optimised for natural, balanced photo colour rather than precise colour matching, so brand colours, Pantone® colours, and on-screen colours may not match exactly."
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The machines are compact enough for any desk or shelf and pair with the Design Space™ app on mobile and desktop. The app offers AI features, a catalogue of artist-designed graphics, and the ability to upload original photos from a camera roll. Both models come with a print ink cartridge, sticker sheets, photo paper, and a free trial subscription to Cricut Access.
One reviewer of the StickerPix Print + Cut said: "I can not get over the vibrancy of the print quality this product has. It is so fun to use. I would give it 10 stars if I could. The small size makes it perfect to take places where you can print right on the spot." Another called it 'revolutionary', adding: "It takes up very little space, yet the print quality is worthy of a photographer, and the cutting is extremely precise! I'm absolutely thrilled with my new purchase, being a huge journaling fan."
For those who want only photos or labels, alternatives include the YOTON 4x6 Photo Printer at £84.99 on Amazon and the Brother QL-600B Address Label Printer at £49.99 at Argos, down from £69.99. The Cricut machines have been a hit with creatives, each earning a perfect five-star rating, and are available for purchase now.
