Before getting an EasyPress 2, I did a bunch of research, so by the time I received mine, I had a bunch of helpful tips already written down. Temperature button: To set a temperature, simply press this button and use the + or – to get to your desired temperature. Hold this button down and you can change between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Unlike regular industrial presses, the EasyPress 2 is easily transportable thanks to its lightweight plastic body, and a base that allows to move it around safely.

Always work on a flat surface! I know that this should be a very obvious point, but many times, especially if we are in a rush, we could potentially forget to clear a flat and firm area to work with the EasyPress. This will make applying pressure so much easier. It works great with traditional heat transfer vinyl, as well as the fun stuff like heat transfer foil, glitter, and metallic materials. Wait a minute…why do I need an EasyPress if I have an iron? Another benefit of the EasyPress in comparison to an industrial heat press is the size and the weight, heat presses are bulky and extremely heavy.

Using a household iron to apply heat-activated vinyl, while common, (Hello! That’s what I was using!) is very inefficient because the heat is uneven, most household irons also have steam holes at the bottom that further deter the even distribution of heat.Apply heat.Start timer and move Cricut EasyPress Mini continuously all over design until timer reaches 0.
