xTool C1 Color Cutter is out, combining an inkjet printer and a blade cutter

xTool, which makes laser engravers, has launched its first craft cutter. The C1 Color Cutter puts a color inkjet printer, a scanner and a blade cutter in one desktop machine, so you can print a sticker or transfer design and cut it out without moving the sheet to another machine. Orders opened November 11, after a $10 reservation period that started October 20.

What it does

The C1 prints with a four-color (CMYK) cartridge and then cuts around the print. A built-in scanner shows your material on screen so you can drag designs into place, and xTool says that means no registration marks. Designs come from xTool’s Atomm software.

According to xTool’s spec sheet, the standard mat is 12 × 12 inches, with a 12 × 24 inch mat and an 11-inch-wide roll mode for longer jobs. It cuts material up to 3 mm thick on the adhesive mat, such as cardstock, vinyl, fabric, leather and thin basswood.

xTool’s own advice is to pick the C1 for stickers, apparel and paper crafts, and a laser like its M2 for wood or acrylic thicker than 3 mm. An ultrasonic cutter add-on for harder materials is listed as coming later; the product page gives both late December and January 2027 for it.
