Cricut Autopress is designed for a variety of heat-transfer materials, including:
- Infusible Ink & sublimation materials
- Iron-on (HTV)

Important: Do not use traditional, self-adhesive vinyl with Cricut Autopress – the vinyl will melt and possibly damage your blank. Cricut Autopress is for use with materials manufactured for heat transfer only.
