Overview
This is Cricut's dedicated mug heat press, bundled with 12 blank white ceramic mugs (12oz), built to turn Infusible Ink designs into dishwasher safe mug art with one touch. It suits anyone starting mug personalization projects or a small side business who wants the press and blanks in one box.
There is no manual temperature or time dial here: the press runs a single fixed cycle tuned to Infusible Ink transfer sheets, pens or markers, which are sold separately. The zone heating plate accommodates mugs from 11oz up to 16oz, not just the 12oz blanks in this bundle, so replacement mugs in other sizes still work. An auto-off feature cuts the cycle without needing to be tended.
- Bundled with 12 blank 12oz ceramic mugs
- Fits mugs from 11oz to 16oz
- Zone-heating plate for even pressure
- Auto-off safety shutoff
Who it's for
Best suited to people already in the Cricut ecosystem, gifting mugs or selling small custom batches, who want to skip guessing at heat and dwell time. It is not the right tool for sublimation printers or crafters who want to fine-tune press settings by hand.
Pros and cons
- Bundle includes 12 blank mugs, so you can press the same day
- Single-touch cycle removes the guesswork of setting heat and time
- Auto-off feature stops the press without babysitting it
- Certified to UL, CSA, FCC and IEC standards
- No manual control over temperature or dwell time
- Only works with Infusible Ink-compatible transfer materials
- Ink sheets, pens or markers are sold separately
Performance notes
The patented heat plate uses zone heating so pressure and temperature stay even across the curved mug surface, which is what makes finished designs peel proof and dishwasher safe once cured. Because the cycle is fixed rather than dial-in, results depend on using Infusible Ink-compatible materials rather than generic sublimation paper.
