Tips for success
→ Iron-on (HTV) projects
For pro-level results, three things matter:
- Even heat — Unlike irons, Cricut EasyPress eliminates hotspots with a heat plate that delivers dry, even, edge-to-edge heat.
- Exact temperature — Temperature needs vary by heat-transfer material and base materials. Find rigorously tested time and temperature settings for your specific materials in our Cricut Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app (with Cricut EasyPress 3).
- Flat surface — For the longest-lasting projects use a sturdy, flat, heat-resistant surface that can support the necessary pressure. A waist-high surface is ideal for ease in applying pressure.
→ Infusible Ink projects
For best results with Infusible Ink*, make sure you have the following:
- The right blanks — Cricut Infusible Ink compatible blanks are specially engineered and tested to ensure you get the very best results. Using generic blanks may compromise your results.
- The right surface — Use a Cricut EasyPress Mat or Cricut Pressing Mat on a firm, flat, heat-resistant surface that is waist-high. An ironing board or plastic table will not provide the firm, consistently flat surface you need for success.
- The right time, temperature, and pressure — To get the best Infusible Ink transfers, carefully follow the instructions in the Cricut Heat Guide, Cricut Heat app (for Cricut EasyPress 3) and how-to article.
*Cricut EasyPress Mini LT is not compatible with Infusible Ink or sublimation products.
