Can I Use Any Mug With The Cricut Mug Press?
Although these are microwave-safe ceramic mugs, please note that to personalize these coffee cups with Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets you will need a special mug. The Cricut Brand Blank mugs or sublimation mugs.
Both of these mug types feature a special coating that allows the infusible ink to “infuse into the mug”. You will also need a cutting machine.
I like to use my Cricut Joy when designing mugs. Because the transfer sheets for the joy are perfectly sized for personalized coffee mugs.
There are tons of pre-made designs in Cricut design space. And even more, images if you have Cricut access.
How Do I Make Photo Mugs With The Cricut Mug Press?
For photo mugs, to clarify, you will need a special printer with special ink to print the image to make it stay. In short, for sublimation, I recommend the EcoTank printer and Cosmos Sublimation ink. However, custom-designed mugs with photos make amazing gifts!

- Cricut Mug Press
- Cutting Machine, but, I like the Cricut Joy
- Infusible Ink Sheets
