Cricut 新款紧凑型手工机:集打印、切割、覆膜贴纸功能于一身

Cricut announced its first crafting machines with printing capabilities that are primarily designed as all-in-one solutions for turning photos and other images into precut stickers. The Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut and Cricut StickerPix Print are also two of the smallest machines in the company’s current lineup and seem ideal for those whose crafting aspirations may be limited by their available storage space.

Cricut 发布了其首款具备打印功能的手工机,主要设计为一体化解决方案,旨在将照片和其他图像转化为预切割贴纸。Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut 和 Cricut StickerPix Print 也是该公司目前产品线中最小的两款机器,对于那些受限于存储空间的手工爱好者来说,它们似乎是理想之选。

Starting at $299, the Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut is the larger and more expensive of the two new machines and is also available as part of pricier bundles that include more consumables. It’s compatible with 4x7-inch sticker sheets and 4x6-inch photo paper and uses a dye-sublimation printing process that relies on heat instead of spraying ink for better color reproduction. Unlike Cricut’s larger crafting machines, these new offerings include a built-in lamination process making prints resistant to water, scratches, and fading over time.

Cricut StickerPix Print plus Cut 起售价为 299 美元,是两款新机中较大且较贵的一款,也可作为包含更多耗材的昂贵套装的一部分购买。它兼容 4x7 英寸贴纸纸张和 4x6 英寸相纸,并采用热升华打印工艺,通过加热而非喷墨来实现更好的色彩还原。与 Cricut 的大型手工机不同,这些新产品内置了覆膜工艺,使打印成品能够防水、防刮,并能长期保持不褪色。

The smaller Cricut StickerPix Print starts at $169 and is also available as part of larger bundles. It carries forward most of the functionality of the larger model but without cutting capabilities. It instead prints directly to precut sticker sheets with shapes that include circles, rectangles, and squares, but it can also be used to print 4x6 photos.

较小的 Cricut StickerPix Print 起售价为 169 美元,也可作为大型套装的一部分购买。它保留了大型号的大部分功能,但去掉了切割能力。它直接在预切割的贴纸纸张上进行打印,形状包括圆形、矩形和正方形,同时也可以用来打印 4x6 英寸的照片。

The biggest difference between the StickerPix Print plus Cut and Cricut’s larger machines is that it’s only capable of cutting through the top layer of a print, producing what are known as kiss-cut stickers that come out still attached to a larger sheet. Cricut’s other machines are capable of making die-cut stickers that are sliced right through the backing paper.

StickerPix Print plus Cut 与 Cricut 大型机器之间最大的区别在于,它只能切割打印件的顶层,制作出所谓的“吻切”(kiss-cut)贴纸,即贴纸在取出时仍附着在较大的底纸上。而 Cricut 的其他机器则能够制作直接切穿底纸的“模切”(die-cut)贴纸。
