Cricut EasyPress Heat Settings

Before you can start using the Cricut EasyPress, it is important to apply the right heat settings. It helps the adhesive in heat transfer vinyl melt and stick properly. If the heat settings are incorrect, the design may peel off, or the material can get damaged.

Every material is unique and has different heat tolerance levels. Using the correct heat will help your design look better and last longer, without damaging your fabric or material.

Here’s how to apply the correct Cricut Easy Press heat settings: 

• Open a web browser on your computer and search the official Cricut Heat Guide website: cricut.com/en/heatguide. 

• Open the site, then select your machine model.

• Choose the material type you are using (e.g., HTV, foil HTV, or glitter HTV).

• After that, choose the base material (e.g., fabric).

• Click on “Apply” to see the correct temperature, time, and pressure.

Once you understand the correct settings, you can start using the heat press. Here are some important things to remember when heating: 

• Always place your material on a heat-safe surface, such as a mat or a folded towel, before you heat.

• Preheat the fabric for about 5 to 10 seconds before you start. This will help clear the wrinkles and moisture.

• Don’t move the EasyPress like a regular iron. Hold the press still for the recommended time. Lift it straight up (don’t drag it).

• After pressing the front, turn the fabric over and heat the back for 15 seconds.

• Once you are done with the project, wait at least 24 hours before washing it. Give the design some time to stick properly.
