QUESTION: What is the difference between the Expression and the Original machine? ANSWER: The Original Cricut and Cricut Expression are different in multiple ways. As a
consumer you will first notice the difference in cutting capability.
The Cricut Expression will cut a 12" x 12" or 12" x 24" medium. Some
consumers will find the additional size a necessity in their creative
projects. Those of you who do not need to cut larger than 5 1/2" will
find the ease and size of the Cricut machine more attractive. Cricut
Expression is designed to be a stay in one place machine. The space
requirement for Cricut Expression is more demanding on a craft room or
kitchen table. Space-constrained consumers will also find the smaller
Cricut machine easier to use. Some users will also find the portability
of Cricut absolutely essential to their cropping lifestyle.
QUESTION: Are you discontinuing the first model?
ANSWER: Rest assured that the first model is not being
discontinued. Cricut Expression is the next extension to the Cricut
Electronic Cutting System and does not replace the original Cricut
Cutter. In fact, many users will find the need for both depending on
the type of projects they will do.
QUESTION: What is the Mix ’n Match feature?
ANSWER: This feature allows each character to have a separate Creative Feature assigned to it in the same session.
QUESTION: What is the Auto Fill feature?
ANSWER: This feature duplicates the selected character(s) as
many times as possible over the remaining page area based upon the
selected dial size.
QUESTION: What is the Fit to Page feature?
ANSWER: This feature resizes the selected character(s) to fit as
big as possible on the remaining page area. The dialed size is bypassed.
QUESTION: What is the Fit to Length feature?
ANSWER: This feature allows the size dial to set to the length,
not the height of the character(s). It will fit any selected
character(s) to the dialed size.
QUESTION: What is the Portrait feature?
ANSWER: This feature enables the user to rotate selected
characters and cut up to 23.5" tall using the length of the 12" x 24"
mat and paper, or up to 11.5" tall using the 12" x 12" mat.
QUESTION: What is the Quantity feature?
ANSWER: This is a production feature, enabling the user to
specify how many of the selected character(s) they would like at the
dialed size. The Cricut calculates how many pages this will take and
guides the user through loading each mat.
QUESTION: What is the Flip feature?
ANSWER: This feature mirrors or flips each selected character.
QUESTION: What is the Multi Cut feature?
ANSWER: This feature allows each contour of each glyph to cut 2,
3, or 4 times according to the Multi Cut setting instead of the usual
single cut. This allows the Cricut Expression to cut deeper each time
and eventually all the way through thicker stock such as chipboard.
QUESTION: What is the Center Point feature?
ANSWER: This feature enables the user to accurately position the
blade over the center of a desired area (photos, etc.) in preparation
for the cut.
QUESTION: What is the Line Return feature?
ANSWER: This feature allows the user to reposition the blade to the next line after a cut has been made.
QUESTION: What is the Mat Size feature?
