You can use heat resistant tape to keep things in place, though I find I rarely need it. The mug press features a patent-pending heat plate for excellent, consistent results and no manual temperature or pressure settings. Make mugs easily to gift family, friends, teachers, colleagues and anyone else in your life who’s inspired their own personalised mug.

Q: Do I have to use small Cricut Mug Press Infusible Ink transfer sheets, or can I use the large Infusible Ink transfer sheets I already have? The first time you use the mug press it may have a smell, but it should go away after you use it — that’s what happened for me!Learn all about the Cricut Mug Press and how you can use it to make flawless dishwasher and microwave safe mugs every time! Tip: Use can use any digital cutter to cut the infusible ink sheets. Or cut with a die-cutter or even by hand. With the Cricut Mug Press powered on and the power button green (which indicates it is ready), hold your wrapped mug by the handle and place it in the heating chamber. For the initial set-up of the Cricut Mug Press, you will need to have a computer or laptop. If you don’t have one of your own, just use a friend or family member’s to setup your Cricut Mug Press through Cricut Design Space. After that is done, you can use an iPhone, iPad, or Android device to design great new mugs and you do NOT need to plug your Cricut Mug Press into your computer again (aside from any future firmware updates necessary).

Now you can just weed the extra bits away with your fingers. You are welcome to also use a weeding tool, but I find it works best if I just bend the sheet away from me slightly and pull it right up with my fingers. I designed this mug wrap so it would be super easy to weed, because I am not a big fan of weeding! I kept large areas connected so you could peel them off in one fell swoop. Go the menu with three lines in the upper left corner, select Manage Custom Materials, find the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet settings, and change your pressure to 268. Your design can wrap to ½ inch from the handle. If your design is closer than ½ inch to the handle, the design cannot be heated thoroughly enough to transfer properly and you’ll see fading or discoloration. All of my free mug designs are set up so that they are not within that safety zone of the handle. You need to wait 15-30 minutes to let the mug cool down after coming out of the Cricut Mug Press before touching and removing the liner. The handle will stay cool to the touch, but the cup itself will be hot, so don’t touch. Don’t put the mug in upside down — the zone heating system will help heat the bottom of the mug so you get consistent transfers (a feature missing in other mug presses) and you’ll lose that perk if you put it in upside down.

Terms & Conditions

To setup your Cricut Mug Press, position yourself within two feet (24 inches) of your computer as you'll need to connect the Mug Press to your computer. (Yes, you need to have a desktop or laptop running Cricut Design Space to setup your Mug Press — if you don't have a computer of your own, do this at a friend or family's computer initially.) You cannot skip activation, as the press will not power on without it.
