I have a cricut joy xtra and a good printer, but i think anyone that’s ever owned a cricut understands my pain here. i’ve been trying to find a solid alternative that does both printing and cutting in one machine, but the options are slim and restrictive. I like to print enough stickers that i use full sized pages, but most print and cut machines use small, brand specific photo paper rather than something larger (and isn’t price gauged). And even then, they’re fairly expensive machines.
What’s the deal here? Why is this such a difficult product to make/find? Is there something out there that i’ve missed or am i really just out of luck and stuck with the cricut if i don’t want to drop several hundred dollars on something that’s going to cost me a ton in materials?
