So you bought the Cricut Gypsy from Provo craft, opened the box looking for the user manual, and were surprised to find that it’s not included. What should a craftsman do? This is an issue with Cricut Gypsy and Cricut Design Studio. Fortunately, there is a solution. A step-by-step quick start guide, a user manual and even a video tutorial are now available.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions and answers about Provo’s Gypsy Crafts. Will Gypsy store my own design projects? Yes. It will hold up to 10,000 of your own custom artwork and around 7,000 cartridges.
Can I preview the cartridges on the Gypsy before purchasing? Yes. All cartridges come preloaded in the software. You can even design with them to see if you like the designs. The only thing you can’t do is cut them off until you buy them and link them to the software.
Are Gypsy and Design Studio compatible? Yes. Files saved with Cricut DesignStudio can be opened in Cricut Gypsy and vice versa. Although they do not share the same characteristics, the files can be shared.
What is linking? Pairing allows you to cut with your cartridges without having to connect the cartridge to the Gypsy or your Cricut machine. It also allows you to cut the contents of the cartridge on a Cricut cutter without having to insert the cartridge.
How do I link the cartridges? Simply plug the link cable that comes with the Gypsy into both the Gypsy and the cartridge. Turn on the gypsy Click the button in the Cricut app or in the main menu, locate the link cartridge button, click it, and wait for the screen to indicate that the link operation is complete.
Can I share cartridges with other Cricut Gypsy owners? No. You can only link cartridges to one Gypsy because the unique serial number that is copied to the cartridge prevents it from being linked to another Gypsy.
Once I link the cartridge to the Provo craft Gypsy, will it still work with my Cricut cutting machine? Yes. The cartridge will continue to work in all of your Cricut products.
Can the Gypsy be used with all Cricut machines? Yes. Simply connect it to your Cricket mower using the connector cable and USB port. Once you’ve linked the cartridges to the Gypsy and connected it to your Cricket cutting machine, you’re now ready to start cutting.
