The purpose of preheating is to remove wrinkles and any residual chemicals or excess moisture from the fabric which might interfere with a successful transfer, so if your blank cools after preheating, prior to pressing your design, no problem! Cricut Hat Press works with a variety of hat shapes and sizes, and Cricut hat blanks — including Infusible Ink-compatible blanks — are coming soon.

I have learned to always lint roll my surface well before adding any material, HTV or Infusible Ink, to it.But I can quickly tell you the extra things you would need if adding an Infusible Ink design to a hat. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. You can see the vibrant colors, as well as the fact that there’s no ghosting even though I had to move the press back and forth. Enjoy a worry-free experience with safety-conscious features like auto-off, a comfortable grip and a safety base. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

Cricut has applicable ALLERGY WARNING information posted on their product details pages, outer packaging, internal shrink-wrapping of the Hat Pressing Form, and permanently affixed on the care instructions label on the Hat Pressing Form itself. The app sends the time and temperature settings to your press, and as soon as you press start, a countdown begins for the exact time you need, depending on the material and blank you’re working with.

The innovative technology makes it easier than ever to transform caps and hats with your unique designs. I’ve also been thinking that the Hat Press and form would be AWESOME for adding designs to sleeves and can’t wait to try that. The app will talk to your hat press via bluetooth connectivity so there are no additional cords or ports on the hat press to connect. While we do not currently believe that hats are unsafe to wear after heat pressing using the Hat Pressing Form, we highly recommend you consult with your allergy specialist if you have any concerns about the severity of any allergies.

If you’re like me and have a lot of children who love hats and you love them yourself OR you’re looking to add that option to your small business I think the Hat Press is a great option! Following the steps in the Cricut Heat App will help you create beautiful, permanent, flawless transfers that you don’t have to worry about EVER lifting from the hat.

After the 30 day period has expired or once the item has been used, you are covered under the product guarantee. Its curved, ceramic-coated heat plate features 3 levels of heat up to 400ºF (205ºC) for consistent, wrinkle-free transfers. However, recommended settings for Cricut EasyPress, Cricut EasyPress 2, Cricut EasyPress Mini, Cricut Mug Press, and Cricut Autopress can be found in our online Heat Guide.

The Easy Press Mini covers a super small area that can lead to you not being successful with your project. The grey ball cap that Cricut came out with has a high enough polyester count that you can use sublimation or Infusible Ink on it and you can use it all the way around the hat. I pressed the first layer for about half the time, removed the carrier sheet, added my second layer, pressed for the full time, and removed the carrier sheet again.

Today, we’re going to put the new Cricut Hat Press to the test and try it on a wide variety of DIY hats so we can see what works and what doesn’t. With this one, the design was actually longer and I tried to leave it in one piece and it did not work at all. Included is a hat form which acts as a firm base for your press, giving you consistent, wrinkle free transfers every time. For instance with my project, for the press instructions it reminds me to place design face down with carrier sheet up.
