Instructions for Infusible Ink

• Cricut EasyPress Mini
• Cricut EasyPress

Infusible Ink projects have special instructions. Carefully follow the instructions for your specific project in these Infusible Ink How-To articles.

Tips to keep in mind:

• Use a Cricut EasyPress Mat or Cricut Pressing Mat rather than a folded towel. Towels hold too much moisture and cause unwanted transfer effects.
• For precise time and temperature settings and recommended pressure for your project, refer to the Cricut Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app (for Cricut EasyPress 3).
• 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 unusual objects, around seams, or in hard-to-reach places, use Cricut EasyPress Mini.
• Do not slide Cricut EasyPress or move hands on the press during transfer. Keep stack as still as possible.
• Use with extreme caution. Machine operates at high temperatures that can cause burns. Similarly, base materials will be hot after preheating and transfer. Allow them to cool before handling.
