Cricut Infusible Ink Blanks: What Other Materials Can We Put Them On?
[videojs youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPGlv4Du51s”]
View the full list of materials/blanks I tested with Cricut Infusible Ink at https://jennifermaker.com/cricut-infusible-ink-blanks-materials/ — includes heat settings and press times, too!
I love to test things, so it’ll come as no surprise to learn that I’ve been testing Cricut Infusible Ink on a variety of surfaces beyond the official Cricut blanks. The two big keys to determining what you can and can’t put the Infusible Inks onto are MATERIAL CONTENT and COLOR. For Infusible Inks to transfer properly, they need to bind with polyester or polymer surfaces. And because the Infusible Inks are transparent rather than opaque, they need to be on white or light colored surfaces. A good Cricut Infusible Ink blank is one that has a hiqh polyester count or polymer coating and is white or pastel.
