Do you need to use with a computer and do you need internet connection? Can you cut images from your PC or only from Cricut craft room? Can it be use with IPad?

Yes, you do need a computer and internet connection. Out of the box, you can only use the craft room, however I believe there is after market software you can buy to cut different images. I do not think it will work with an iPad. I love my mini!

I believe that is the same one I have (smaller, mats are 6"x12"). Yes, All the cartridges should work on your machine. If you bought your machine new, you should be able to connect to the Cricut Craft Room with the proper cable. My issue was I got mine used and when I talked to support because I was not able to download the software, I was told I had no warranty. I think they were going to replace my machine had I bought it new. Oh well, Happy crafting!

I don't actually understand your question, however, do NOT purchase this item. My husband bought it for me for Christmas so I would be able to print pictures off of my iPad and iPhone and it just doesn't work. I downloaded the app, tried using the usb cable, and read the troubleshooting page. Nothing worked. Its a piece of junk, don't waste your money - I going to try to return mine.

Yes you can connect to an Ipad or pc. You must have the camera attachment to connect to an Ipad 1st generation. I am not an expert on later versions.

I absolutely love it. It doesn't run on windows. As far as I can tell, it doesn't run programs. It only runs on line and uses chrome as its browser. I haven't figured out how to print yet. I believe you have to go through the cloud to print but I just place it on a thumb drive and print from there. It's definitely more like an I-pad than a laptop. Your work is all done on line which is all I needed. Even though it has its limitations I would purchase it again. I love it.

You need the internet to use the Cricut craft room in order to create any projects.

you would need to be able to connec the silhouette with a usb so on a ipad no. if a tablet has a standard usb port and you download the software directly from the site than yes.

Printopia works great with my iPhone and iPad but is expensive at 19.99. They have a one week trial so you can decide if it worth it to you.

It doesn't actually print like a printer does...you can put markers in it and it will draw whatever you program it to draw on your computer. It does have a lot of good features. I have a cricut as well and it is limited in a lot of areas that this machine will do.

I too have both Cricut machine and yes they work on sure cuts a lot 1and 2 only. Contact the craft edge they own SCAL programs. Let them know what you want to do and they can help u that way. I know that cricut provocraft will not allow the SCAL w/ cricut. Their email address is support@craftedge.com

If your computer isn't Bluetooth ready you will have to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter also. I purchased mine on Amazon for under $7.00. I inserted the Bluetooth adapter in the cricut explore and the USB adapter in my computers USB port and the computer loaded the drivers for both. After that you turn on your Cricut Explore and when you push go it will show your Bluetooth connection and will cut wirelessly. It was well worth the money not to have the cord connected everytime I cut something. Hope this was helpful.

You can airprint to this printer, if you use the appropriate app on iPad. You can also print via sending an email to your printer. Scanning and copying quality is descent. I have this device for my home/student office and never regret. Reliable and quality product.

Great for card making. If you cut using the Cricut, make sure you set it for heavy cardstock and at least 2 cuts.

I use it for drawing websites and taking notes. For actual sketching any basic drawing pad would work better but if you are lets say doing home design, architecture, web design or grid based art this would work fine.

You can go on cricut craft and connect your machine to your laptop. U have to buy cord. They sell it anywhere. I used the machine like twice. I have two cartridges however the ink is fine. Never bought ink but there is hp ink compatible for machine.

Hi! The wireless adapter is a way to connect your laptop and your tablet to your Cricut Explore without the use of a cable. Once you connect your laptop and Explore you can cut anything that is on your screen - both premade and your creations. I hope this helps. If you have an iPad and are using the new app, you can only cut the premade ideas at this time. I am hoping that changes in the near future to allow the app users the ability to create an cut using a tablet. Have fun Exploring!!!
