Amazon prices change frequently and there is no saying when the Cricut will go back to its regular price, so if it’s a purchase you’ve been considering, you’ll want to add it to your cart quickly.
The Cricut machine delivers what the brand says is “pro-level” heat-transfers at the same speed of a heat press, but is as easy to use as an iron. You can make everything from T-shirts to personalized tote bags, fun pillowcases, aprons and more either for yourself, as gifts or to sell.
With a temperature of up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the press heats up in less than two minutes, so you can make quite a few projects in very little time. The press also includes a timer and auto-off feature, so you don’t need to worry about overheating the material. It is also compatible with major brands of iron-on, infusible ink and other sublimation products.
The machine comes with instructions, so if you’ve never used one before, you’ll want to take a peak at them before diving into a project.
Buy Cricut EasyPress 2 Heat Press Machine from Amazon for $129 (was $189).
