How is Cricut Infusible Ink™ different from heat transfer vinyl or iron-ons?

In the heat transfer vinyl process, artwork is attached on top of a base material using adhesive.

An Infusible Ink transfer becomes one with the material itself.

      They typically do not offer coupons on new products.

    So, am I understanding correctly that the Infusible Ink products won’t work on products other than the Compatible Infusible Ink blanks sold at Michaels, and the EasyPress 2 works, but the EasyPress doesn’t? Please explain.

      From what I understand, it works best with their approved blanks.

        They do work on items that have some polyester better than plain cotton, no guarantee that they won’t wash out of 100% cotton but we are testing that, but they look great on the poly/cotton blends, the higher the poly the brighter.

      Of course they are going to suggest their blanks over other blanks on the market, but I can guarantee you that this will work on other blanks. I for example don’t want to use a white onesie, I need to use a natural coloured organic onesie, so I will be trying the infusible ink on blanks that are not from the cricut line – I can report back.

    Do you know why they are only releasing the infusible ink for 3 months? Seems odd to me? What if people want more after October?

      I believe it is exclusive to Michaels for a short period of time … the it will be available more widely after that.

    Your cover picture for this post shows tennis shoes and what appears to be small wood blocks. These are not available Cricut blanks, did you actually do them with the infusible ink products? Thanks, Vicki

    Is it really only going to be available for a limited time or just a limited time as a Michaels Exclusive?

      It’s only at Michaels for a limited time … I believe it will be available to everyone and at Cricut.com after that.

      I’m not sure – the heat settings on Easy Press 2 are different than original Easy Press.

        Yes it works with your regular easy press. Just look it up. It worked fine with easy press and our heat press.

      I read on a blog last night that it is doable with the original, you just have to leave it on longer. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the blog but I am sure you can look it up.

    I’m also curious about the blanks . I’m not very interested in just white and it really drives up the price point. I love the concept though.

    I’m sure you can use a blank that is at least 65% polyester just like sublimation.
