Product Information

While I can still press them, Ia m not sure if I get the *best* transfer, because of the seams of the onesie, I think that with a smaller press, I could get way better results. Cricut EasyPress 9 x 9 inches: This is the medium size and weighing only 5.7lb it’s the perfect size for most projects and probably the most recommend if you are an EasyPress newbie. It works perfectly for projects like:

One great tip from the folks at Cricut is to fold your base material in half and use your EasyPress to create small creases in the material. This will for a plus sign on your base material that will help guide you when placing larger items. Set your timer and apply pressure: Once you have everything lined up and ready, set your timer and apply down pressure by holding the handle on the EasyPress. Make sure to turn your project inside out to give another press and make sure your project is as good as possible.Start timer and move Cricut EasyPress Mini continuously across design until timer reaches 0. Cover all areas of design including center and edges and allow heat plate to extend approximately 0.5" (13 mm) beyond all edges of design. The first thing to discuss in any complete guide to using the Cricut EasyPress is why it’s actually necessary in the first place. Until now, I have always used an iron for my heat transfer and iron-on projects. And almost all of them turned out good. Also, if you are going to press fabrics, consider pre-washing them as well, this way you take the initial shrinkage out of the way. I cut my design from Design Space on my Cricut Maker. Make sure to always mirror your images when working with iron-on. Then I carefully weeded out the negative space using a weeding tool. Step 2: Prep mat, base material, and EasyPress Avoid seams, buttons, and zippers when positioning Cricut EasyPress on base material. If the heat plate crosses over these things the design will not receive even heat, resulting in unwanted effects. When applying designs to u nusual objects, around seams, or in hard-to-reach places, use Cricut EasyPress Mini.

Peel the carrier sheet: One thing you want to pay attention to, in case you use a different brand of iron-on vinyl, is if it’s cold, warm or hot peel. While it might seem like it’s just a silly detail. Some kinds of heat transfer vinyl work better when peeled off at a certain temperature. Trim Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet liner close to the design, then secure to blank with Heat Resistant Tape to prevent shifting during transfer. If you are starting to do more gifts that require heat transfers, or are dipping your toes in to selling tees, the EasyPress is a good stepping stone into professional heating press equipment.It works great with traditional heat transfer vinyl, as well as the fun stuff like heat transfer foil, glitter, and metallic materials. Wait a minute…why do I need an EasyPress if I have an iron?

Use the Cricut Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app (for Cricut EasyPress 3) to determine project settings.Infusible Ink projects have special instructions. Carefully follow the instructions for your specific project in these Infusible Ink How-To articles. The Cricut EasyPress Mat is a must have, in my opinion. Have you ever tried to do iron-on projects on a towel and ended up with a ton of moisture? Or on an ironing board and ended up with some wonky rippling in your design? The EasyPress Mat prevents all of this, all while being use to use and store. Note : At this time we do not recommend using Cricut EasyPress Mini for Infusible Ink transfers on coasters.

Before removing liner, refer to the Cricut Heat Guide to determine the peel temperature — warm or cool. When using Cricut EasyPress Mini on shapely objects like shoes and hats, use a shoe form, hat form, or folded towel inside to create a firm pressing surface.Cricut EasyPress 6 x 7 inches: This is the smaller size of the regular design EasyPress, at 3.3lb in weight is perfect for small flat projects like: Once the liner has cooled from hot to warm, carefully peel it off. Be super gentle because the design isn’t totally set yet. Then, repeat the 3 second firm pressure step for all of your remaining layers ( except the final layer), making sure that your EasyPress doesn’t touch any exposed material. Also take care not to let the edges of your liners leave imprints in the already adhered material.
