Cricut Infusible Ink: Tips for What NOT to Do

Share the love!

What happens if you don’t use or apply Cricut Infusible Ink according to the directions? Let’s see what works and what doesn’t in this Cricut Infusible Ink tips playtest!

Ever since Cricut Infusible Ink came out, people have been asking me “what if…” What if we didn’t have an EasyPress or heat press? What if we put two layers of Infusible Ink together? What if we wrote on an Infusible Ink transfer sheet with an Infusible Ink pen? What if we put the Infusible Ink pen or marker right on our T-shirt instead of a piece of laser copy paper? Well, it’s time to find out! Learn what NOT to do with these Cricut Infusible Ink tips as we test out ALL the things! 

Here’s our list of Infusible Ink experiments:

1. What if we use a folded towel instead of a pressing mat?
2. What if we don’t pre-heat our material before putting Infusible Ink on it?
3. What if we don’t use cardstock to protect our pressing mat?
4. What if we move our heat source when pressing an Infusible Ink transfer sheet?
5. What if we press twice with two different Infusible Ink transfer sheets?
6. What if we write directly on our material with Infusible Ink pens or markers?
7. What if we don’t press our Infusible Ink long enough?
8. What if we re-use an Infusible Ink transfer sheet again?
9. What if we draw on a transfer sheet with an Infusible Ink pen or marker?
10. What if we press two sides of an Infusible Ink transfer sheet separately?
11. What if we use a household iron instead of an EasyPress or heat press?
