What's The Best Printer To Use With A Cricut Cutting Machine? Updated 2024

so many people ask us all the time which printer is best for my Cricket my name is Lauren and I'm a crafers are here at makers going to learn where we love to bring you inspiration education and motivation on all things crafty and today we're going to talk about printers so the question is what printer is best for my Cricket the short answer we love an inkjet printer and not only injet printer we are obsessed with the Canon line when it comes to printers these printers are truly topnotch especially the pixm Malon when it comes to printing on different materials especially shiny sticker paper and things like that these printers are set up to print on those specialty papers this one here is specifically our favorite this is the Canon ts9 99500 series and up until recently we had one here in our studio that had lasted us years now if you've been around the channel and you're part of the membership you know me and Alicia kind of ruined the last one but that was our fault and not the machines had it not been for us this machine would still be going so we did purchase another one because we truly think that it is one that you cannot beat the quality of prints that we get from this printer are truly topnotch and I just don't think there is one out there that can beat it now this printer specifically it does have an option you can use it as a copier now when it comes to Cricut and design space you're not going to use that feature specifically just know that that option is there when it comes to this printer but what I truly love about this printer is this rear tray and being able to print on 12x 12 card stock another thing thing that I absolutely love about this printer is the fact that I can put super thick card stock in the rear tray here and it feeds through beautifully we have never had an issue with card stock that's 120 lb it pulls it through there like it's nothing so I do absolutely love that feature about this printer now I want to hop over to our share screen so I can share with you where you can find this printer and really look at the specs because I think this is one that you're going to want to get here on Amazon this is the exact printer that we have this one is in Black we just have it in white this is going to be linked down below at this time of filming this the price of this printer is $200 which in my opinion is one it's a great great deal I think we paid about 230 229 when we purchased it so this is a great deal for this printer currently but this printer has five individual ink systems it is a cartridge printer and I will show you exactly how you can do that it is Bluetooth compatible you can print via your Wi-Fi connection without having to connect manually to your computer there is a scanner like I showed you plus it is so simple to set up now another thing that we always get questions about is how much does the ink for this printer cost so let's just go ahead and look here you can see these are the ones that we purchased here in our office so it's going to run you about $30 $35 for all five colors which is actually a pretty good deal because in all honesty we don't have to change the ink out on this printer very often now I did talk about how I love the rear tray and honestly that's the one that we use 90 to 95% of the time but just so you know there is a bottom tray here that we do keep regular paper in for regular printing in case we need it um and the the largest size on this is going to be 8 1/2 by 14 but when it comes to printing specialty materials we always use this rear tray so we keep it up and put our specialty materials here and let's go ahead and talk about the materials that we have used in this printer that we love here are just a few of the different materials that we have used in this printer um starting with the Caesar easy color DTV now when we first got this one of the things that I was afraid of is that this specific material because it's slick on both sides would be hard for a printer to pull it through however this printer does great with pulling the Caesar easycolor DTV through we have never had an issue uh water slide decal paper is another one that we we have used in this printer um that we love it just goes through flawlessly it's so beautiful and then of course our sticker paper from our favorite zoto to Cricut and HTV rant all of these are great and we've never had an issue with the printer and these papers while we're overhead I also want to talk about other the quality I mean y'all look at the quality of this print from this printer I just don't know that you are going to get a better quality and color payout from any other type of printer I think it just gives you such a good Rich colors that I think you can't beat it so if you are in the market for a new inkjet printer to use with your Cricut I highly suggest either the Canon ts9500 series or really any Canon printer in the Pixma Lon that can print anything up to 8 1/2 by 11 if if you have enjoyed this video and loved all the information that we have brought you make sure you hit that Thumbs Up Button subscribe to our Channel and hit that Bell notification so
