Cricut Heat Presses & Sublimation Printer

Library Branch

Patrick Beaver Memorial Library

The Learning Lab features one Cricut EasyPress 2, one Cricut Mug Press, and one Sawgrass SG500 Sublimation Printer. 

  • Cricut EasyPress 2
    • Ceramic-coated 12 X 10-inch press plate
    • Press Temperature: up to 400℉ 
    • Fabrics must be at least 65% polyester for sublimation
    • Compatible with most major brands of iron-on materials
  • Cricut Mug Press
    • Mug Sizes: 11 - 16 oz (350 - 470 ml) straight wall only; 82 - 86 mm diameter mugs (3.2 - 3.4 in)
    • Straight-wall tumblers under 3.4 inches in diameter can be pressed, however they will be pressed one half at a time due to the height of the press. A silicone sublimation tumbler wrap is required to sublimate tumblers to meet diameter requirements. 
    • Mugs and tumblers must be labeled "sublimation coated" or "sublimation ready" 

Important Information

  • Sublimation is not an exact science- fabric type, color, temperature, and time settings can greatly impact final results. We recommend bringing extra project materials to test on for best results. 
  • If sublimating designs, they must be printed using the Sawgrass Sublimation Printer. Printed images from other printers will not be accepted.
  • The cost to print a design is $1.00 per sheet. Sheets are standard copy paper size, 8.5X11 inches.  
  • If using iron-on materials, the materials must be approved by Learning Lab staff before use.
  • Heat transfer tape, parchment paper, and heat-resistant gloves are provided. 
  • To use the heat presses and sublimation printer, patrons must have a valid Hickory Public Library card and complete a brief orientation to ensure proper use and safety.

Tips

  • Higher percentages of polyester in fabrics produce brighter designs.
  • Dark-colored materials will not sublimate well, and designs may not show up, so opt for lighter-colored materials for the best results. 
On narrow displays, the weekly room calendar is wider than the screen. You can side-scroll within this table to view room availability for the whole week.
