I suspected this was the answer. The only thing that might be worth adding to this logic is I would not be surprised if there was a warranty clause that is voided by the use of 3rd party materials....

@Matt Good point.  There is such a clause in the warranty, but it does not necessarily mean that using third party materials will cause any harm.

I believe that in the US, it's illegal for a company to void a warranty because someone used a non OEM supply.

<p>Say I have <a href="http://www.joann.com/cling-vinyl-9inx12in-sheets/8258790.html" rel="nofollow">some non-Cricut window cling</a> and a <a href="http://us.cricut.com/home/learn/machines/explore-family" rel="nofollow">Cricut Explore</a>.  Cricut also sells <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/supplies/cutting-materials/window-cling/window-cling.html" rel="nofollow">their own window cling</a>, but I have none.</p>

<p>Is there any harm in using non-Cricut brand materials for a project?</p>

Say I have [some non-Cricut window cling](http://www.joann.com/cling-vinyl-9inx12in-sheets/8258790.html) and a [Cricut Explore](http://us.cricut.com/home/learn/machines/explore-family).

Certainly you can.

Cling material is vinyl and there is nothing special about the product on which Cricut puts its name.

If you go too far afield in acquiring non-brand name supplies you might want to pay attention to the thickness and adjust the material setting for your machine accordingly.
