The Cricut Mug Press comes with the Mug Press, a power cord, a USB cord (to hook your mug press up to your computer to register it), and an instruction booklet.

YES! Your Mug press will not work until it has been officially registered. This is because Cricut wants to make sure that your Mug Press has the latest updates and firmware so that it will work perfectly for you.

Yes. The Cricut Mug press uses a cord with a USB port to connect the mug press to your design space account via your computer or laptop. You cannot register your Mugpress with a phone or tablet.

If your computer or laptop does not have a USB port you will have to use a dongle which you can get here on Amazon.

No. After it is registered it doesn't require a connection to any device to work. (So if you need to you could always use a friend's computer to quickly register it.)

No. You can only use a specific kind of mug with the Mug Press and Infusible Inks.

Ideally, you will want to use a Cricut Mug Blank which is specifically made for the Mug Press.

However, you can use other sublimations compatible mugs with straight edges with the dimensions below :

• Sized 11-16 (350-450ml)  
• With an outer diameter between 3.2" - 3.4" (82 - 86 mm)
• With a maximum height of 4.72" (120 mm)

Yes. Unlike when you make mugs with permanent vinyl or Iron-on, Infusible Ink mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe.

Yes. When using Infusible Ink Pens you draw the design on Lazer paper and tape to the mug with heat resistant tape. Then you need to wrap 3 sheets of butcher paper trimmed to size – about 3¾” x 9” around the mug as well.

*The 3 layers of butcher paper will keep the Infusible Ink from bleeding through to the inside of the Mug press. You don't have to worry about this with the infusible Ink sheets for the transfer backing is sufficient protection against the possible Ink bleed)

All the standard-sized Infusible Ink rolls come with butcher paper. If you need to buy more you can get it for a good price on Amazon -->HERE<--

*IT is advised to not use parchment paper in replace of butcher paper.

Yes. Just like when you do other Infusible Ink projects always Mirror the image.

NO! You can only use the Mug Press with Infusible Ink products. The temperature is too hot for Iron-on or Vinyl. If you try to use the mug press with either of those materials it will melt them, ruin the mug and destroy the mug press.

You don't. The Cricut Mug Press has a sophisticated internal sensor that will sense the temperature of the mug and the room you are in. The Mug Press will then adjust the exact heat and time for pressing automatically.

Cricut Mug Press power button guide:

• No light – standby mode 

• Orange flashing – connect mode 

• Solid orange – heat mode 

• Solid red – error detection 

Use LED progress bar (the 5 mini lights) to track the transfer process. When the transfer is complete the Mug Press will beep.

Yes. If your Mug Press is idle too long it will give a warning beep. If you don't push the power button or place a mug in the press and put down the clam then the Mug Press will turn off as a safety feature.

While the time will vary depending on the temperature of the mug and the room, the aver time is about 5-6 minutes.

No. While the mug itself will become very hot in the Mug Press the handle of the mug will remain cool to the touch. So as long as you are careful to only touch the handle you don't need any special gloves.

No. Ok if you are doing tons of mugs back to back it may heat up a bit. But not enough to harm you. Due to its special design and cool-to-the-touch plastic, only the inside of the Mug Press when the mug goes gets hot.

The rest of the outside of the Mug press stays cool to the touch. Even while in use. This is one of their safety feature designed into the Mug Press.

Yes. When the mug comes out of the heat press you will want to set it aside to cool on an easypress mat for 15-20 minutes. By waiting for the mug to cool you can avoid any shadowing effect with your Infusible Ink.

Yes. Cricut Mug Press is designed for transfers on the outer cylindrical surface of your mug, up  to .5" (12.7 mm) from the handle.  

Yes. Cricut has a basic template where you can choose via a drop-down menu which size mug you are making and what border you would like for near the handle. You can find the template -->HERE<--

With this template (which even has tabs to go under the handle for a tight secure fit. You can then add the design you want. I will have some DIY tutorials up soon showing you how to do so.

For the Small 12 oz mug: 8.75" x 3.79" (22.2 cm x 9.6 cm) 

For the Big 15 oz mug: 8.75" x 4.25" (22.2 cm x 10.8 cm)

Designs can span up to 0.5" (12.7 mm) from the mug handle. Designing beyond can  result in fading and discoloration. 

There are 4 things you can do, however, to avoid these issues:

• Remove debris prior to pressing with lint-roller 
• Ensure design is completely flat against mug surface and within recommended measured areas 
• Use a Cricut Blank Mug  
• Trim the Infusible Ink liner as close to your design as possible
