new to sublimation here but i was wondering when using the pens like you did you said to use copy paper..is that just photo paper or something different.. just want to make sure i use the proper paper...thanks

[@karlanunez3413]

First off... Congrats on your Blessed Unity! May God keep and direct your path as a Man and Wife In Service of God, and Bless this Unity for years to come! Your Wife and You looked SPLENDID! That wedding video, what a tear jerker!!!! Now... lol, crafting! That paper appeared to have a shine? I know certain papers work better for sublimation... which one did you use please.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Aww!!! Thank you so much!! You're too sweet! Yes ma'am, this was laser printer paper that we used.

Can anyone answer this question I have because I can't seem to find a tutorial on.. how to get the infusible ink markers to flood fill the image in explore air 2? TIA... sorry just saw my typo & fixed lol

[@shirleyotero1846]

So cute Thank you so much Tanner always so informational.

[@leannwilhelm4009]

Why does the copy paper look so shiny? Is there something you need to put over it before you use the markers?

[@linnkelly3704]

Thank you for the teachinng❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😇😇😇😇😇

[@Nehadesai86]

Does anyone have specifics on the type of laser paper you can use for these projects?

[@roxannehayes6702]

Hello! Does it work well to use infusible ink markers on infusible ink sheets?

[@lakotacamp8533]

could infusible ink markers be used with toner reactive foil? Like if I did exactly what you did with that coaster but then after that I put minq toner reactive foil over the coaster and heat pressed it, would it foil the paw print? If not, does cricut make toner pens compatible with maker?

[@Scoomzzz]

"Just like so" lol love it! I can tell you were a teenager in the early 2000s like me. I'm assuming because I never hear people say that unless they were like I was. Educated guess lol.

[@barbararead7490]

Are you using 32# laser gloss color print paper? Paper looks glossy.

[@Snoopygirl1446]

32# usually has a sheen to it.

[@amyhubbard5216]

Can it be filled in? I noticed the original image is a block colour, but you only went with an outline. Was there a reason for that? Would it bleed, or were you just being conservative!? Do the pens work as well if you draw on something directly, by hand? And also, do they work say on tumblers in the mug press? So many questions, ha! Thanks! 😅

[@monicab28]

I could not get the pens to make contact with the paper. I didn't hear a loud click like I do with the regular Cricut pens but I feel like if I push it in there any further, it will break the pen holder. Help!

[@robertocortes6572]

Great video! Do infusible projects always show the dot where the marker first touches the paper? Thanks again!

[@KaliMahalo]

You might want to go to his facebook page and ask that question with a link to this video. I'm going to do that in my groups because that was the first thing I noticed when he showed the coaster! Like .. its great and the tutorial is awesome but .. NOT flawless LOL

[@judithholland9592]

I keep trying these setup for the infusible markers on paper but it won't do all the lines. I did reseat the cricut infusible pen a couple times, still not drawing all the lines. I'll keep trying but very disappointed at the product. Thanks for the info. It helped a lot in trying to find the settings which can be frustrating every time I change materials. I may try putting 2 pages and taping them see if that will work. Wish me luck.

[@lorijeff65]

Good morning, I was watching to learn more about the markers. My question is, if using regular printer paper, do you have to apply heat right away or can we store it and iron it on another day? also does this rule apply to the laser paper as well? thank you any help on this is appreciated. btw nice job explaining on how to use the markers

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

good question! I don't see why you'd need to transfer it immediately. The ink requires heat to transfer, so I don't think letting it sit for a few days would impact its ability to transfer. Always worth trying!

[@franapple2528]

Tanner, could I let my granddaughter draw a picture on copy paper with the pens and transfer that to a shirt? And also can I add to a design with the pens by hand?

[@PositivelyJane]

Fran Apple I am answering. Yes. You can draw anything with the pens. It so fun. You can upload a hand drawn into DS too, resize, and then print on laser paper. Then use the pens.

[@maggiepannell103]

Is there a way to do full color designs? Vs just the outline ?

[@jessicamarsh9779]

So the fusible ink pens work with any paper? That’s CRAZY! I’m SO gonna try these out!!!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Right?! So crazy!

[@alohablondie]

On the Cricut instructions, they flip the coaster over where the part of the coaster that has the design is face down. You did it face up. Have you noticed a difference between the two?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Good Question! We've found no difference, but feel free to do it either way :)

[@esquivelverspoor]

Thanks, I was pushing the own and I didn't know I have to open first the adaptor. Thanks

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Any time!

I’d like to see a more complicated design switched into the drawing feature

[@concernedamerican7378]

Please help! I cannot make my Cricut infusible pens fit in my Maker 3? It appears I’m the only one with this problem since I cannot find an answer. I am very familiar with these machines. I have the regular marker size and the broader Cricut infusible ink pens and with the adapter they are too big, without adapter they are much too small. What am I doing wrong?

[@amandacole9723]

I don’t have an easy press. Can I use just a regular household iron for infusible ink?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You cannot. Here is a fun comparison video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6DIp6hve9BrrpI

Hi amanda i used a black and decker iron normal iron no steam turn it all the way up wait 2 full minutes worked perfectly fine for me

Very informative! I'm actually going to be buying the Heat Press next week so I can make my own shirt designs (my first project is going to be a tote bag). I've added these supplies to my Amazon cart (yes, heat tape and butcher paper too!), but you answered my "What can I draw these designs on" question. Good to know you can use copy paper!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Yes ma'am, thank you for watching and commenting! You will LOVE your EasyPress!

[@maddieb5787]

Do you mean copy paper as in like normal white paper you would put in a printer? Or do you mean those cricut blank transfers?

[@shaunebartoo2551]

I have freezer paper and parchment paper is either one of those the same as butcher paper? Or were they work?

[@armywife0330]

Can you reuse the butcher paper or do you need a fresh piece for each project?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You can reuse as long as there's no ink on them :)

[@ivynightly-exonar8679]

Just a tip, when using the term something is "cheaper" it makes it sound like it doesn't have the quality of its name brand equal. You could always say it's "less expensive" or "cost efficient" makes the item sound equal in quality to the name brand.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ivynightly-exonar8679]

@@MakersGonnaLearn no proble. Just wanna say thanks for all your amazing videos. I find that even if I try to watch other you tubers die-cutting videos, I end up cutting it short in search of makers gonna learn. I love that your videos are not usually much more than 20 minutes and usually on one topic or craft at a time. Keep up the great work. And thanks for being here for me!!!

[@shannonericksen1291]

It’s a southern thing.

[@traceybartlam7737]

We would use the term cheaper in the UK if something costs less so it’s a perfectly acceptable term to show something costs less.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

At time 2:40 he says what he's using :) 32lb copy paper

[@sunnstarzsm]

Thank you for the great video! Question though....Even though all the types of markers are awesome, my OCD kicks in and it drives me CRAZZZZY to see the "starting dot" of ink on every letter and area of where/when the Cricut has to lift the marker up and continue writing. Plus, it looks very unprofessional if you are making something for a customer that has writing on it with markers (Haven't tried pens yet). If you understand what I am trying to explain with this dot of heavy ink, then is there ANY WAY of hiding this? Maybe do 2 passes?

[@ivelissetorres7805]

What is the paper use in the video?

[@ladylucks910]

Overtime does the infusible ink wash out or get messed up if you put a cup that sweats on the coaster?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Not that we've ever noticed! But if you're worried about it, feel free to seal it with Minwax Polycrylic: amzn.to/2KzC588

[@hollygleich5418]

I don’t understand. Is it regular paper or special paper that the pens draw on?

[@tiffanyvandenberg5742]

Can I use regular printer paper, hand draw images and sublimate on blanks?

[@lexcoupe2100]

I noticed you placed coaster facing up but on the heat guide site it recommends face down and 240 seconds. I’m confused.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

That is for the other round ceramic coasters

[@lexcoupe2100]

Makers Gonna Learn Thanks I didn’t know cricut had different kinds of coasters

[@CraftyMomof12]

If someone wanted to make the pen fill in the item how would you do that

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So, only Cricut has the technology to have fonts “fill in” with the Cricut. These are called Writing Fonts. There are no 3rd party (meaning non-Cricut brand) fonts that can do this. So, we use our fonts mainly for vinyl, Iron-On, and print then cut! :) We don’t use our Cricut to write often. You can fill in the words by hand if you'd like.

[@putnamdesign1072]

What kind of paper did you draw the paw print on? What if you want to put it on a canvas bag same idea as this

[@Jennifer85987]

Hi there, thanks again for another perfect video and taking the time to do and share this. I do have a question for you, since you seem to be (almost) the only one around here who answers them : in Design Space, I can't add more than 4 materials to my favorites, when I first got my Maker 3 a year ago, it worked out fine, but for a few months now, it doesn't work anymore. And the weird thing is the message I get, because on top of my screen, there is some sort of red banner that says : ... there was a problem removing your favorite material ... ???? I'm trying to add, not to remove any. I tried to delete all the materials in my list, to be able to start over again, but after 4 items, it just doesn't let me add any more. Tried to reach the Customer Service, which is very very difficult (I'm in Germany, so I tried the one over here), and their CHAT is BS, because it's a computer generated chat, so forget that. Thanks for dropping me a line if you have a solution. Have a good Day. Dany

When I convert the line type to draw I always get a double outline, even if it's a very thin line drawing. Is there any way to make the cricut draw jist a single line of digital images that I've drawn on my tablet? I hope that makes sense.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

If you mean with text, this is always the case with any 3rd party fonts. Only a few of Cricuts' fonts are single lined. We recommend print then cut over drawing, or filling in the text yourself after if you'd like :)
