For first-timers, it can be confusing to use the Cricut Mug Press properly. Here are the essential steps that should be kept in mind when getting started with this machine:
Remove all the packaging from the press.
Insert the power cable into the back of the machine.
Connect the other end of the cable to your desktop system.
If your computer has Design Space installed, open it.
At the top left, click the three horizontal lines.
Select “New Product Setup.”
Click Heat Press > Cricut Mug Press.
Now, follow the on-screen steps to download any updates required.
Once this is complete, remove the USB cable from both devices, and you’re now ready to use the machine.
Open Design Space and create your infusible ink design. If your design is already cut and ready, move to the next step.
Take your mug and clean it with a lint roller.
Wrap your design around the mug and use heat-resistant tape to hold it in position.
Put the mug into the preheated mug press. Make sure the handle is facing you and the lever is up.
When the mug is in the right place, push the lever down.
Wait until all the little dots are lit. This means the mug process is done.
Lift the lever and carefully remove the mug by holding only the handle.
Do not touch the mug surface as it will be very hot.
Turn off the machine and let it cool down.
Place the mug on a heat mat and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Don’t remove the transfer sheet.
Once the mug is completely cool, remove the tape and the transfer sheet.
