PRINTING & CUTTING MACHINES


CANON TS9521C INKJET

We love this printer! Almost everything project you see on the YayDay Paper co. site and Instagram has been created with this printer. It was designed for crafters! 

What we love: 

  • Prints borderless: 12×12
  • Prints up to 11×17
  • Accepts a wide variety of thick material including the Red River 96lb. Photo Gloss Cardstock – the thickest glossy cardstock on the market!
  • 5-Color Individual Ink Tank System so you get vibrant prints and since the ink doesn’t run out all at once you just replace the ink tank that runs out. 

What we don’t love:

  • If you print a lot of YayDay Paper Co. prints, Genuine Canon Ink can get pricey.
  • The printer is fairly large, so it may not work in tiny spaces

CANON TS6420 INKJET

Even though this printer can’t print 12×12” borderless, it can do everything else AND this Canon Printer is eligible for the Canon PIXMA Print Plan Ink Subscription!

What we love: 

  • Since this printer is eligible for the Canon PIXMA Print Plan you get all the quality of Canon prints while saving tons on ink! Pay a low monthly fee and print as much as you want!
  • Rear tray allows for printing on thicker materials including the Red River 96lb. Photo Gloss Cardstock – the thickest glossy cardstock on the market!
  • Available in two colors: black and white

What we don’t love:

  • There’s really not much to dislike about this affordable printer option!
  • No 12×12 prints with this printer, so you are limited there.

HP 7155 INKJET

HP Instant Ink is a huge help with the cost of ink! With this HP printer you can save on ink while still enjoying all your favorite YayDay Paper Co. prints.

What we love: 

  • Borderless A5 printing! This is the only printer on our recommendation list that offers borderless A5 printing which is awesome for planner lovers!
  • This printer is an HP Instant Ink printer which means you can get ink whenver you need for a low monthly subscription price.
  • This printer allows you to print on most printable materials. Check out our comparison chart to see what it can and can’t do.

What we don’t love: 

  • At less than $100, this is a fairly affordable printer.
  • Printing was slightly streaky and pixelated on some printable materials but not terribly noticeable from a distance. Also, when using the “Best” setting for Print Quality, the final project was very bright and clear.

CANON PIXMA TS3320

Incredibly affordable and prints beautifully!

What we love:

  • Compact size and lightweight makes this great for small space living
  • This printer allows you to print on most printable materials. Check out our comparison chart to see what it can and can’t do.
  • This printer is very affordable.
  • Even at an affordable price point, this printer can still handle the heftiest of cardstocks!

What we don’t love: 

  • No letter-sized borderless printing.
  • When compared to the other Canon printers on our recommendation list, the colors from this printer can be a bit dull. However, if you didn’t have another printer to compare it with, you’d never know the difference! The prints are still very colorful and smooth.

Cricut Explore Air 2/Cricut Maker

The Ultimate cutting machine that crafters love! If you love your Cricut get ready to create even more beautiful things with it!

What we love:

  • Print your favorite YayDay patterned paper onto printable vinyl and iron-on, then use your Cricut to cut it out! Now you’ve created your very own patterned vinyl and iron-on! 
  • Print your favorite YayDay patterned paper onto printable fabric then use the Cricut Maker Rotary blade to cut out your fabric project.
  • The Print then Cut feature on the Cricut Explore Air and Cricut Maker means you allows you to cut out your YayDay stickers easily!

What we don’t love:

  • The Print Then Cut feature for Cricut isn’t as robust as we’d like.

Silhouette Portrait 3

When it comes to printing and cutting the Silhouette Portait is our hands-down fave!

What we love:

  • The Silhouette Studio software offers lots of options for customizing your cuts
  • The AutoBlade tool in the Silhouette Portrait is able to self-adjust in the middle of a project which is amazing for making sticker sheets
  • The compact size is amazing for small spaces!
  • The Silhouette Portrait 3 features matless cutting! This means you can cut out your YayDay stickers and washi without having to use a mat!

What we don’t love: 

  • Silhouette Design Studio takes some practice to get comfortable. Luckily, we have videos covering the basics. 
  • The Silhouette Portrait is pretty loud when it cuts, so don’t start cutting while you’re on a business call!
