Best sticker printer and cutter for home: 2026 buying guide

We haven’t tested these printers; this guide compares published specs and supply costs, with sources. There is no winner here — which one fits depends on what you make.

What “print and cut” means

A print-and-cut sticker printer prints your design and then cuts around it in the same machine. A kiss-cut cuts through the sticker layer but not the backing, so the stickers stay on the sheet until you peel them (Kerri Crafts It). A die-cut cuts through the backing too, giving individual loose stickers. Both all-in-ones in this guide kiss-cut (Kerri Crafts It; Liene blog).

What to compare

  • Built-in cutter — custom-shape cutting, pre-cut sheets, or no cutting at all.
  • Sheet size and printable area — how much of the sheet you can actually print on.
  • Cost per sheet — supplies usually come as paper plus ribbon or cartridge packs.
  • Supplies lock-in — whether only the maker’s own paper is supported.
  • Software and account requirements — which app, which platforms, and whether you need an account or subscription.
  • Connectivity — Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB or memory card.
  • File formats — Design Space accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, HEIC, SVG and DXF (Cricut Help Center); the Liene app accepts JPEG, PNG and HEIC (Liene tech specs).

The print-and-cut all-in-ones

Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut

Good fit if…

  • you want to design on a Windows or Mac computer as well as a phone — Design Space runs on all four platforms (BTTR)
  • you already use Cricut Design Space for other Cricut machines
  • you want laminated sheets Cricut describes as “fade-, water- and scratch-resistant” (Cricut shop)

Consider that…

  • it uses Cricut Design Space, which needs an internet connection (Cricut shop (US)) (Cricut doesn’t publish an account requirement on its StickerPix pages)
  • “Full content library & certain software features require paid Cricut Access subscription” (Cricut shop)
  • Liene publishes a 3.9 × 6.7 in printable area; Cricut hasn’t published one for StickerPix
  • its refill set is “Compatible with Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut only” (Cricut shop)

Liene PixCut S1

Good fit if…

  • you want a published printable area to design to (3.9 × 6.7 in) (Liene tech specs)
  • you design on a phone — the Liene app is for iOS and Android (Liene tech specs)
  • your artwork is transparent PNGs, which Liene says help its automatic outline cutting (Liene product page)

Consider that…

  • Windows is not supported (Liene tech specs)
  • it works “exclusively with official Liene sticker and photo paper” (Liene materials guide)
  • we found no published statement on whether the app needs an account

These print stickers but don’t cut custom shapes.

  • Uses pre-cut 4 × 6 in sticker sheets (1.5 in circles, 1 × 2.6 in rectangles, 1.5 in squares) (Kerri Crafts It); shapes per sheet not published
  • Refill sets $27.99–$32.99 (Kerri Crafts It); per-sheet cost not published

Good fit if…

  • circles, rectangles and squares in the pre-cut sizes are enough for what you make

Consider that…

  • its supplies are not shared with the Print + Cut model (Cricut blog)

Canon SELPHY CP1500

  • Compact dye-sublimation photo printer, 300 × 300 dpi; no cutter listed in Canon’s specifications (Canon spec sheet)
  • Card-size label sheets: full-size, 8-label and square (Canon manual)
  • KC-18IF full-page labels “as low as $14.99” for 18 (Canon U.S.A. shop (KC-18IF)) ≈ $0.83 per sheet (our calculation)
  • Wi-Fi, AirPrint, USB-C and SD card (Canon spec sheet); US printer price not in our sources — check Canon

Good fit if…

  • you mainly print 4 × 6 photos — KP-108IN works out to about $0.39 per print (our calculation from $41.99 for 108) (Canon U.S.A. shop (KP-108IN))
  • small rectangular or square labels are enough

Consider that…

Questions

Which sticker printers cut the stickers for you?

Of the four here, the Cricut StickerPix Print + Cut (Kerri Crafts It) and the Liene PixCut S1 (Liene blog) have built-in cutters, and both kiss-cut. StickerPix Print uses pre-cut sheets (Kerri Crafts It), and Canon lists no cutter for the SELPHY CP1500 (Canon spec sheet).

Can I use cheaper third-party sticker paper?

Not according to the brands’ own statements: Liene says third-party materials are not supported (Liene materials guide), Canon says to use genuine Canon sets (Canon U.S.A. support), and Cricut sells its refills as compatible with its own printer only (Cricut shop). See the compatibility FAQ.

What does one sticker cost?

Divide the cost per sheet by the stickers on it. Our cost per sheet page has a small calculator with sourced pack prices.
