Im sure Jen Maker has used glass in hers. Wow this is a poor selling point for the mug press with cricut. I think its better to get an industrial one. Its cheaper and you can do any type of cup in it.

[@lovieball552]

You mentioned wasting paper. Could you do a video showing how to combine multiple designs, for multiple projects. Or is there some magical hack/work-around?

[@Earendilgrey]

If the pictures are saved as an pdf or even a page you could use a pdf reader/maker program to place them all on one page. XOXO is a free program you can use on Android or PC and I want to say Good Notes is a free one for Apple.

[@scuevas1023]

Would love to see the Eason vs epsom printer comparison.I meant to say Epson vs Epson printer comparison. It will give us a good idea where to start for us beginners. Have good quality results within a budget!

Omg yes that would be so helpful before investing 😍😍👌👌

I did an Epson ET 4700 conversion. Super easy to do and works great!!

In case people haven’t heard you ca not use glass mugs in the Cricut mug press- it will destroy it and Cricut will not replace it

I had no idea.. thanks for sharing

I seen that video. The poor lady ruined two machines😣

Next piece of equipment I THINK I want is a sublimation printer. Toaster oven will become my "mug press" Have to save money wherever I can (medical bills are such a pain). Than you Michael for an interesting & informative tutorial!

I was ignoring the mug press, as I am up to my waist in materials and driving my Maker crazy. Now, Mr Crafty you have given another itch to scratch. It looks like a lot of fun and a great instant gift answer.

We are crafters we have all wasted a little paper. No worries

[@aliyahtownsend5852]

New to sublimation. Watching as many videos as I can before I invest time and money.

[@shannaschueller]

Not sure how paper is loaded into the Sawgrass since I'm using Epson, but I've used a corner of a sublimation page and still been able to use the sheet for printing again. I just load the paper so the cut out part is at the bottom of the page and make sure what I'm printing doesn't have anything in that area.

[@conniemoustakas8639]

I am new to sublimation. I have watched Crystal Ann’s videos and I agree she is very knowledgeable on all topics.

[@Jaydawg1250]

Now you need a convection oven. From what I've seen with Conde, Sprite uses a convection oven for tumbler. Might be better over the Cricut mug press.

[@valeustice882]

Hi i had a Cricut Mug Press for Christmas, also an Epson Ecotank printer. I have no idea so will watch all of your great KZbin Video's. You make everything simple for me to understand many thanks Val UK x

[@RachelMullerCreations]

For those of us that want to do Sublimation that don't have a sublimation printer of any kind. Auntie Tay did a video where there is a company that will print out your images on sublimation paper for you.

[@sss50845]

I need help badly and you are the KZbinr I understand best for Cricut. PLEASE HELP! I can print designs on regular size paper but how do you set up a printer to print on that pre-cut mug sublimation printer? It's pre-cut to size and ready to print on my Epson eco-tank filled with sublimation ink but printing a template on that mug size paper is killing me. Please tell me what to do!!!

[@ireneguerra6143]

Thank you for this video. Love all your videos. I'm new to sublimating and would like to know if you could make a tutorial on sublimating a beer can glass using the Starcraft Heat Press mug/tumbler attachment. Or give me any tips. TIA

You are awesome! I am new to sublimation and you are spot on with your instructions . Thank you

[@Chelleby21]

Hi there Mr Crafry pants, so ordered my cricut maker today from amazon, but, scared now as the reviews say its awful, I bought this one as I had messaged you to ask which was the best to buy, so cricut maker was your suggestion, if I have problems are you able to help, as it would appear that 1000's of purchasers have had problems with software saying its flawed... have I made the right decision??? 🤯

[@sheilabratz6674]

Hi again Michael. I followed your steps and had one issue that I hope you can help me out with. I designed at 3.25 inches and downloaded. When I printed from my printer, the images were 5 x 5. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hi kind of off topic, but when you make coffee mugs using permanent vinly do you recommend covering it with dishwasher safe modpog?

I Love the idea to use the heat gun for products that doesnt work with mug press machines. I will try it for curved cups! Thank you!

How do you add 2 images or more on one page to save paper? Also, I use a mug press, I cannot make ONE mug without the bottom and one side being snowy and making a dark stripe.

[@daliaordaz]

Thank you so much for showing us what to do if something happens to the press rather than editing it out. I learned a lot today, but especially how to use Canva and how to load a real picture or photo, as opposed to only using clip art. I've only made two mugs bcz I want aware we could do that, so thank you for teaching us. Love the channel, love your teaching method and love you. ❤️ Keep up the great work. 🏍💨🐼✌️

I have never done sublimation and so far it is my favorite method per my research. I will be starting with my Cricut and presses in the next 2 weeks so long as I can get this printer flushed properly.

Hi! I'm very new at Cricut world 🌎 🙂! I'm so glad that I found your channel, you share so cool tips to beginners 💞 thanks you for that! You are so inspiring! I just checked the Sawgrass printer and is sold out =( , anyways everything is pricey but I'm sure I'd worth it!! In your opinion, is this printer machine better than epson ?? Are the sublimation cartridges expensive to refill ? So much to learn and so much to ask 😁, just want to make my life easier and get the appropriate thing to learn 😌, thanks!

New to sublimation and enjoy your videos. Question: What if I want to print on both sides of the mug?

[@dawn6312]

What if you want to do a 20 oz skinny tumblr and wrap the entire thing with the design? What size paper would I use?

What type of paper would be best in my new Epson printer that I am making a sublimation printer? I want to do photos and I’m not sure ink jet printing paper is the best choice.

Definitely not buying a Cricut mug press now. As an electrician, I'm familiar with heat guns. I think I'll go that route. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@danakaho420]

The reason the press died is because he used glass blank. You can't use glass.

[@nurseaprn97]

What is the correct placement of the handle in using Cricut mug press ? I am getting ghosting on the right side of handle. Can you tell me why and how do I correct that?
