Thorough Product Review of Cricut EasyPress 2 + Iron-on Project Tips

Are you thinking about buying the Cricut EasyPress 2? If so, then you’ll want to read all that I have to say about this amazing must-have Cricut product. The Easypress 2 makes iron-on projects easier and is a fabulous option for your Cricut Infusible Ink projects.

What is the EasyPress 2?

The EasyPress 2 is a device that allows you to place your iron-on and Infusible Ink designs onto the material of your choice. With an even disbursement of heat, it’s a much more reliable option than using your household iron. Iron-on vinyl and other Cricut projects require heat to transfer your completed design onto the material of your choice.

That’s what the EasyPress 2 is made to do, transfer your designs that require a heat transfer onto your projects quickly and evenly. Since each iron-on or Cricut Infusible Ink project requires a different level of heat and pressure, the EasyPress 2 helps remove any variables that arrive when you’re using an iron or other heating option to transfer your designs onto your material.
What is the difference between EasyPress 2 and EasyPress?

The EasyPress 2 heats up about 25% faster than the original EasyPress, it also reaches a temperature of 400 degrees. The original EasyPress only goes to 350 degrees. The medium size EasyPress 2 takes just two minutes to eat up, and the smaller EasyPress 2 takes a minute to heat up.

The EasyPress 2 comes in three different sizes to ensure you have the right tool for the right job. There’s the 6×6 inches, the 9×9 inches, and the 12×10 inches. Each is ideal for different projects, such as:

EasyPress 2 6×6 Inches:
• Perfect size for traveling with your Cricut.
• Useful for baby items.
• Cosmetic bags or similar smaller containers.
• And other small surface projects.

EasyPress 2 9×9 Inches:
• Great for metal surface projects.
• Medium-sized t-shirts and similar projects.
• Wooden projects.
• And another medium-sized Cricut craft you may be working on with heat press requirements.

EasyPress 2 12×10 Inches:
• Perfect for extra-large projects.
• Hoodies.
• Extra-large t-shirts and similar.
• Large totes and other bags.
