The Cricut hat press can work with HTV vinyl, infusible ink, and sublimation, but note that it is necessary to buy special hats for use with infusible ink. Cricut has its own hat blanks to work with sublimation and infusible ink, you can either buy them or try other blanks. In addition, the hat press comes with a strong heat-resistant tape, because the normal tape doesn’t work around curved surfaces to hold things steady.
Using the Cricut heat app
This Cricut hat press review also includes a section discussing Cricut’s heat app. Check this out! As a matter of fact the Cricut hat press will not work until it is activated. To do this you need to have a mobile device and get the Cricut heat app, it’s totally free! This process is important to activate the Cricut hat press.
To activate the Cricut hat press, first, open Cricut heat and log in. If you don’t have an account, create one for free. Click on settings and turn on the press by plugging it in. Connect the machine to the app via Bluetooth and click connect to start the registration process.
It is not necessary to have a Cricut machine to use the Cricut hat press, but it is necessary to have a Cricut account to log in to the Cricut Heat app.
The press will beep a few times while activating, this is normal. leave the hat press on and within range of the device in use. do not close the application or turn it off. It may take a few minutes, but once complete, the press will beep.
With the app, it is possible to set a custom time and temperature for the hat press, and it also has a pre-heat setting.
