Does Anyone Have a Cricut Imagine?

[NemoMom07]

I ordered one off of HSN with a really good one time only price with flex pay and free ship. This was not something I truely wanted but would not mind. I like some of the Imagine carts.

I wanted to know from someone who has one if they use it alot and like it. I am mainly a scrapbooker so that is what I would use it for. Hopefully some can give me their opinions before its too late for me to cancel my order if I decide to.

I do not have one, but my neighbor does. She likes it but says the ink gets expensive to replace and it is a pain that there are separate cartridges that she wants that are not compatiable with the expression. The cartridges seem to be pricey too according to her. Some of the things she makes are pretty nice. I will say the printing/cutting is cool, but I miss the dimension from actual paper piecings. Don't know if that helps or not??

i really want one -- it just looks so much fun - but i have the expression and over 100 carts - i like that you can use the reg. circut carts in the imagine. I have seen killer deals on ebay for the carts and they seem cheaper then the reg. cricut carts. (you can get them for well under $20.00 - if you wait) Not sure about ink but i saw that they offer the ink in the cricut rewards -- you can do dimensional work by pop-dotting and cuting out the different layers still.. Looks fun and i want it - just cant swing it right now.

I have to admit, it looks interesting. I would love to be able to print the greetings for my cards, and now that ink has come down in price it does not look too bad. If I can find a BF deal I might get it.

I ordered the E2 from HSN the other day. I just don't know about the Imagine. I've read good and bad about it lately. Did you decide to keep it?

Jennifer - you ordered the E2 - NICE! I DVRed Ginger on HSN so I could watch it the next day - when DH saw the price and heard that it was going to have updating capability with the computer he asked me why I didn't get that one! I could have kicked him in the shins! I figured $180 was a lot to ask for never mind $350! Plus I wanted money to buy the cartridges!! The new options look neat!



Imagine - I thought it was interesting, but the color cartridges looked expensive and I figured I could get decent paper out there.

My E is on its last legs. I spend so much time and energy fighting with it, I figured the price of the E2 was decent enough to make my life easier. I liked the no tax and no shipping and the five payment flex-pay. It's a lot easier to swallow that way. I got an email that it shipped yesterday, it's in NJ now, hoping it gets here BEFORE their estimated date of the 6th

Well I got the Imagine yesterday in the mail. I had to hide it in a closet till DH leaves on the road again. When he does I will get it out and see how it goes getting it all set up and see how it works.

Jennifer I read the reviews, after I bought it on HSN, to see what I was getting myself into. I see that they are both good and bad. I am hoping I do not have problems like some of those in the first launch where they had to return the I like 4 times. That is crazy.

I have already won 4 carts off of ebay. There are a few more I would like, but there is nothing else that I am drooling over. The hightest I paid was $23 and the lowest was $9.95.

I FINALLY got to use some of my rewards and bought another set of ink cartridges, mats, and was finally able to add in the sunglasses that I have been wanting to get but was not going to just get those and pay the shipping

LOL, you had to hide it in the closet DH knows mine is coming, but only because I would have had a hard time explaining it. Mine is out for delivery! It's coming to my office, so I'll have it today. Sooooo excited!

My friend Jackie has the Imagine and loves it. She says it does eat ink, but apparently that's a non issue, since she's even made some wizard stuff on it for me.
