The opinions and text are all mine.
The ink fully absorbs directly into the surface leaving a smooth and professional finish that lasts forever.
The results are really impressive!
Thecolors are vibrantand thedetail is crispwith no worry of it peeling, cracking or fading over time.
It really looks like its part of the surface, as if it has always been there!
We thought it would be fun to plan a girls night in with snacks, drinks and craft supplies.
For craft addicts like us, this sounded like the perfect evening.
Who needs a girls night out when you’ve got the option to craft instead?
And paired withthe EasyPress 2,the crafting possibilities are endless!
The lightweight and portable EasyPress 2 is the perfect companion for Infusible Ink, especially for girls craft nights.
Weve used our EasyPress 2 to apply iron-on vinyl to thiscanvas wall hanging,silly bathroom signandChristmas gift bag.
The EasyPress 2 can also be used fora number of projectsyou might not have even thought of!
Check out our first experience with the products and how we made the Hello Beautiful Tote Bag.
If you prefer the printed version, keep scrolling.
In the toolbar, adjust the size of the design to 8 high and 8 wide.
Once on the mat, press the mirror on toggle button to flip the text.
Next, set the material option to infusible transfer sheet.
Ensure the fine point blade is inserted in the Maker and load the prepared mat.
The Maker will cut out the pattern and unload when complete.
Unlike vinyl, there is no need to use the weeding tool with infusible ink transfer sheets.
Simply use your fingers to peel away the excess part of the cut design.
Preheat the machine to 385F and set the time to 40 seconds.
Place the tote bag down on top of the mat and insert the cardstock into the bag.
This is important in preventing bleedthrough.
Use the lint roller over the tote bag to eliminate any loose fibers.
Carefully, remove the butcher paper.
Position the prepared design face down on to the tote bag with the liner side facing up.
Life the press and carefully remove the butcher paper.
Wait for the surface to cool completely before peeling away the liner.
The color is way more intense than it appeared to be from the preheated transfer sheet.

Upload the All About the Beetles coaster pattern template.
Repeat for the other blank half circle patterns.
Be sure to hit the mirror on toggle button to flip the text.
This is necessary for any designs that will be applied with the EasyPress afterwards.
Set the material option to copy paper.
Place a plain sheet of laser ink copy paper on to the standard grip mat.
pick the start button on the Maker to begin printing the text and cutting out the pattern.
The Maker will prompt you to change the marker color when needed.
Unload the mat when complete.
Using the spatula tool, carefully peel off the copy paper from the mat.
Preheat the machine to 400F and set the time to 240 seconds.
Yes, you read that correctly!
When working with the coasters, all the materials will need to be stacked a certain way.
The beetle all over half circle pattern should be on the lower side of the coaster.
The half circle pieces with the text should be on the top side of the coaster.
Secure the pieces in place using a few strips of the heat resistant tape.
Place the coasters facing down on top of the mat the cardstock.
Cover with a sheet of butcher paper.
Put the preheated EasyPress on top of the coaster for 240 seconds.
No need to hold the press in place for these coasters.
Lift the press slowly and carefully remove the butcher paper.
The coasters will be extremely hot!
So be careful and wait for the surface to cool completely before peeling away the liner.
Now for the fun part, peeling away the liner to see the results.
Were so happy with how these projects using the Infusible Ink turned out.
