I did my first mug using Cricut Infusible ink and my air fryer. It totally worked!!

[@yolandasotolopez]

wow.. how long did you put it in the air fryer and temperature?

[@kit6863]

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.

You're so awesome Michael! Thank you so much for teaching us, I learn so much from you!

I absolutely love Canva and I enjoy watching your videos so much Thank you for sharing 🤩

[@peggyhart5729]

Excellent Video! Very informative.

[@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.

[@julieyordy2899]

Some how missed this video when it was released 🤷‍♀️ So glad I found it, just starting to dabble in sublimation and converted an epson printer and bought a cricut mug press. So excited but also slightly intimidated to use it. After watching your video, I feel more confident to give it a whirl. Thank you as always for your informative videos. Have been a subscriber for about a year and am so happy for you Michael to see how your channel has grown.👍👍

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.

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.

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

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

[@bgwylie]

Awesome

[@teresamatteson9749]

I have never done sublimation. I would love to try it but am afraid it won't turn out right . I haven't bought the mug press because I have heard the ink leaks onto it and messes it up but I see you used parchment paper. That's a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful videos. I have enjoyed everyone of them

[@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.

[@akirraowsley302]

im so happy i found you when i did love you and these projects so much

New at this … haven’t even opened my Mug press. It was a gift and I’m not sure what other gadgets i would need to use it… Can you maybe give me a small list of some things I would need to get actually get started with my mug press?? Please please!!

[@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.

[@CelticRune76]

Great tutorial, Thank you!

[@dawnpersing7116]

I bought some sublimation blanks that are sippy cups but they are to small in my mug press. can you do a video on how to do them

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.

[@CatNickelsen]

Do you have to use a sublimation printer for these or can you use a regular printer? Do you have a video on the printing portions? I was not able to find it.

[@BabyLifestuff]

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!

[@ninaflora6]

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!

[@mackmakesit]

Whats the best computer a person should use to do these types of things? Even using cricut?I just have a tablet and cant use half of my options.

[@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. 🏍💨🐼✌️

[@cyndykiolbasa5127]

Do I need to use infusible ink transfer sheets for sublimating a photo onto a mug? Does it go in printer or just my regular paper? Thank you.

[@pamlewis382]

Very new to all cricut, love your work but finding it very hard to find stuff here in Australia, too expensive to ship from overseas (even with your discount)

[@jeannechesterfield698]

We have done sublimation on shirts and other blanks, just not mugs.

[@KellieMcRaeHurricaneInHeels]

Thank you for posting the mistakes that were made and the problem that occurred as well. I haven't opened the box yet but just used my cricut maker for the first time, so many make all the processes look super easy but I am finding there is definitely a bit of a learning curve so seeing the issues you had is actually quite helpful.

I love finally seeing a picture of you not wearing a hat!!!! Thanks for all your cricut help!!!

[@olivia8979]

Wow! I am glad you told us about using glass sublimation blanks in the EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE cricut mug press. I was thinking of doing that. I havn't done sublimation other than cricut infusable ink sheets yet. But I did order a bunch of prints from a sublimation print on demand service - some for tshirts and some for mugs. So I will be doing some soon ... but not on glass!
