Cricut Joy 2 Bridges Printing and Cutting in Single Workflow

Cricut announced the Joy 2 cutting machine on February 26, 2026, integrating Print Then Cut sensors that automate full-color workflows. Users print designs on standard inkjet printers, then feed output to the Joy 2 for sub-millimeter-accurate cutting of stickers, magnets, and temporary tattoos. The sensor array eliminates manual alignment that previously limited project complexity, addressing a persistent gap between consumer printing quality and precision cutting capabilities.
