Thank you for this article! I just purchased an Explore Air 2 and was so confused by the cartridge references I had been reading. Much appreciated!

Thanks for writing this Neena! I just got an Explore 2 and this perfectly answered my question.

Hi Ann,
I hope you were able to resolve your issue with customer service at Cricut. I don’t have any helpful ideas for you – but maybe someone out there has a suggestion.

I read through this and still not sure what to do. I also have an Air 2 and I can get up to the point (using design space) of cutting. My cut button will not light up. thinking it may just be burnt out, of course I pushed it down anyway. NOPE! My Cricut Air 2 will not cut. I call the care team but am now on hold for 20 min. Any help out there?

Hi Pam,
I suggest you reach out to Cricut support to get a definitive answer. I am not familiar with the Expression, so I really cannot say.
Thanks for stopping in!

So, in other words, all the cartridges that I used with my Expression would be useless to someone else if I decided to sell the Expression since they are linked to my Cricut account? I don’t use them with the Explore Air2 and to my knowledge there is not a computer program that works anymore with the Expression. Thinking about that, without internet connection the cartridges should work for cutting images for anyone. You just wouldn’t be able to link them to Design Space a second time if you upgraded to another machine. Am I on the right track?

In reply to Ashley Murphy. @Ashley Murphy, If you decide to throw your cartridges away I would love to have them

Hi Ashley,
I’m not really sure – I think you need to go with what you are comfortable with. I never had an older Cricut machine so I don’t have any cartridges to deal with.

Is there any reason to keep the cartridge after it’s loaded to design space? I’m thinking of throwing mine out

Hi Lynne,
You make a great point – you need internet to use Cricut Design Space.

I don’t have the internet six months of the year so cartridges would be useful to me.
