Cricut Mug Press Review: Is Making Mugs Better with Infusible Ink?

The Cricut Mug Press is one of the latest launch machines from the Craft brand, and it will open a fun world of craft art and design possibilities for both professionals and hobbyists. While the Cricut has created a name for itself in the design space by delivering professional-level electronic cutting machines that can do nearly any project, the Cricut Mug Press will enable you to do one thing: Personalized Design Mugs.

If you want to design and build professional-looking mugs in all kinds of colors, prints, and finishes, then the Cricut Mug Press machine is perfect. It may sound simple and pretty easy to use with some know-how, but a high-tech device lies behind the soft angles and smooth design.

The Cricut Mug Press uses Cricut Infusible Ink materials to attach mugs of various sizes. Insert one into the Cricut Mug Press, remove the lever and wait. The Cricut Mug Press will measure room temperature and mug temperature, and then later, your design is ‘baked.

Using the brand new Cricut Mug Press with Infusible Ink, you can create vibrant, dishwasher-safe, long-lasting, custom mugs that won’t fade, crack, peel or deteriorate. This latest machine is a complete game-changer for your DIY products and gifting needs, and today we will break down everything you need to know about the Cricut Mug Press!

Note: Don’t forget that Cricut has more to offer, and you’ll need a cutting machine to make this work.

How does the Cricut Mug Press Work?

The Cricut Mug Press does a lot of work for you. When you place a mug in its ‘oven,’ it takes the room’s temperature, and the mug and automatically adjusts its heat. Every intricacy of heating the ink and ceramic is done for you – no extravagance.

There are no shocking menus or manual force sensitivity settings. You drop the mug in and go. You’ll need Cricut’s ecology machines and apps (sold separately)

Connecting the Cricut Mug Press to the Cricut Design Space app- the free creative app from the maker – is important. Setup is as easy as plugging the Cricut Mug Press into a tablet, laptop, PC, or Mac using a USB-C cable – it comes with the Cricut Mug Press and reports to the machine. It downloads any new firmware and sets it up automatically.

Although the Cricut Mug Press is easy to use, the task of making a mug design and putting your idea to work is front-loaded into the Cricut Design Space app. Don’t be misled into thinking that the Cricut Mug Press is a closed system that does the work for you. It’s a useful machine built to enable your design process, and it takes some hard work to get the design working.

A tutorial in the Cricut Design Space app will take you through the step-by-step instruction process of making your design, although this can be overlooked if you are new to this app. It would be best to connect a Cricut machine – Cricut Maker, Cricut Joy, or Cricut Explore, and cut out the design using the Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet.

Now choose your design from the cut sheet and stick it around the mug (Cricut will recommend you use heat-resistant tape, but you do not need to). Drop your mug into the Cricut Mug Press, remove the lever, and wait for the magic to happen.

It is important to understand this process as the Cricut Mug Press cannot be used separately. You’ll need a Cricut machine to get your designs on mugs, and you’ll need some knowledge of design apps. But, the Cricut Design Space app is easy and accessible and has pre-built blueprints for newbies.

What Mugs Can One Use with Cricut Mug Press?

The Cricut Mug Press is prepared to hold solid, straight-walled mugs with 11 – 16 oz (350 – 450 ml). But, since Cricut infusible ink is used to make durable designs, you can’t use any white mugs. You must use a sublimation mug to transfer the design properly. Now, the Cricut brand has a complete range of sublimation mugs ready to use for your projects.

The Cricut Mugs are available in the given below:

Also, mugs are available in large quantities:

These mugs are affordably priced and are sold along with the Cricut Mug Press supplies. You can buy all of your supplies straight down the aisle of your favorite craft store! There is no need to make an advanced order from a specialized store to make custom mugs.

Cricut learns that we all love giving mugs as gifts, so they have now created it even easier! The oversized mugs have a white gift box that can be easily decorated or personalized using your Cricut!

Conclusion

The Cricut Mug Press is a smart technology crafting machine that will enable you to design and print professional-looking mugs. It’s easy, but you’ll need to know Cricut’s design app and workflow. You cannot use the Cricut Mug Press as a standalone machine, and it will only work with Cricut Machines and the Cricut Design Space App. Be mindful of this before buying.
