My HONEST thoughts on the Cricut Imagine

Today I wanted to share a little bit about
my Cricut Imagine.  I purchased this machine
a couple months ago.  I was so super excited
when the UPS man knocked on my door.  I
had been clearing out a special area in my craft
room just for the Cricut Imagine.
I hurried and set it all up, did the update and was
all ready to start playing and....
it would NOT work....  I tried 100's of times
with no luck.  I finally gave up and called the
cricut support line.  They were so awesome,
they had me try lots of things but still nothing
worked.  I sent my machine to have them
get it fixed and a few days later a new one
arrived.  I was so excited because this one
WORKED!  I started to play around with it
and I thought it was okay... the colors weren't
bright and bold like the projects I have seen
using this machine.    It seems like the colors
were dull and sometimes not the same as
pictured in the cartridge handbook.  I got a
new cartridge in the mail this week and was
so excited to try it out when I got home.  I
started to print some images and I was very
disappointed...  I decided to change the black
ink cartridge (I had only used the Cricut
Imagine only 4 times) I didn't think I needed
to change it.  It made all the difference.  As
you can see in the picture the new prints are
bright, bold and perfect.


Here is a super quick project that I made with
the Cricut Imagine:

Recipe:
  • Cricut Imagine Machine
