Another great video Crissy! I am borrowing my daughter's Cricut and have yet to make a project. 😉 I think she has the EasyPress too - I will be sure to watch this again if I give that a try!
Hi there. thank you for the informative video! Is the Cricut 12X10 much more difficult and heavier to use than the smaller one? Do you have to use a lot of strength pressure for the bigger one? How do you know how hard to press if you do not have the easy press 3? Thank you!!
Hi Dee! The 12x10 is about 8.5 pounds, and the 9x9 is 5.5 pounds. I own the 9x9, and it’s sufficient for most jobs. You might want the larger one if you’re doing extra large size t-shirts or bigger projects. You don’t really need to apply a lot of pressure with these heat presses since the heat does most of the work for you. Cricut has a Heat Guide online with instructions for all materials if you need to look up directions for temperature and time. I hope this helps!
You could try using printable heat-transfer vinyl to print your design and then press it with the heat press. This is the product I'm referring to (affiliate link): cricut.pxf.io/QyV7nP. You can also find it on Amazon: amzn.to/3BJUo8M. Hope this helps!
I haven't used anything like this before but interested in it for making dye sub glass coasters and chopping boards. Is glass one of the material categories in the app?
Yes, as long as your glass item is smaller than the heat press, you can reach temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is great for sublimating on glass. The Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app don’t specifically have a setting for glass, but you can manually enter the temp and time you’d like in the app based on your sublimation material. I hope this helps!
I haven’t done it myself yet, but I’ve seen others use the EasyPress for DTF transfers. You do need quite a bit of pressure to make sure it transfers and use a piece of parchment paper in between.
Yes, you can use Cricut aluminum sheets with infusible ink: amzn.to/3WdPt7V. Other metals may be hit or miss depending on the material, but these sheets will definitely work. I hope this helps!

Thanks, Cindy! I can’t believe how easy it is compared to my old giant heat press. You’ll have a lot of fun with it, I’m sure. 😊

Thanks for sharing. It was helpfull! I made my first project now with the easypress 3
I’m so glad to hear that, Hillie! Once you do your first project, it becomes much less intimidating. Thanks for leaving a sweet comment.
Fantastic video. You make it so easy to do. Thank you.
Thank you, Wendy! I’m glad it was helpful!
I feel like you were really transparant at the end of the Video, Thank you
Thank you! Glad you appreciated that.
I was wondering how to transfer my art work prints onto a T-shirt ? ❤

It’s just for vinyl? Or also I can press DTF prints? 🤔

First time using my easy press 3 and it’s error. How can I fix it 😢😢
Sorry to hear that! What does the error say?
Can i press on metal

Thank you. Cutie
Thanks for watching!😊
