Can You Use Infusible Ink On Coasters?
Firstly, let me say, yes, you can. However, you do need ceramic coasters with a special coating that is designed for sublimation, or specifically for Infusible ink.
My favorites to use are the Cricut Brand Coasters that were made to use with infusible ink transfer paper. You can get the Cricut brand in round or square coasters.
I also like these hardboard coaster blanks. Whichever you choose make sure you pick one that will work for your infusible ink coasters.
How Do You Use Cricut Infusible Ink On Coasters?
- Upload the design (you can grab mine below).
- Add your letter.
- Using a lint roller or lint-free cloth. Make sure that there is no lint or fuzzies on the Infusible Ink Coaster.
- On your machine select infusible ink transfer sheets as the material.
- Cut out your design.
- Preheat your EasyPress to 400 degrees.
- When it’s done using heat-resistant tape, tape down the design to your coaster.
- Place on the EasyPress mat with a sheet of butcher paper on top and press.
You can print the full instructions below.
What cut setting for infusible ink?
When I am cutting Infusible Ink transfer sheets I use the material setting for infusible ink. If there are lots of small pieces to the design, then I select more pressure before I start the cut.
Is there a way to remove infusible ink?
Cricut Infusible Ink is a permanent dye if you use it with the intended blanks. For this reason, you need to be extremely careful making your infusible ink coasters.
When you use Infusible Ink. Once it has been pressed, it is infused into the material and there’s nothing you can do to remove it. They make for an easy Cricut DIY, but you have to follow the instructions closely.
I really enjoy working with Cricut infusible ink I have made tote bags and wine bags and so many other things. I would love to hear about what you’ve made with infusible ink sheets.

Instructions
- Open a new canvas in Design Space and upload the SVG, if you haven't downloaded it you can grab it above.
- Add your monogram or letter to the center. I used Didot, but if you want to use a 3 letter monogram font you can use this one.
- Select all aligned patterns and letters then at the bottom of the toolbar select “attach” to keep the layout needed to fit the mat.
- Mirror the design and click continue.
- Adjust the machine setting or material dial to “infusible ink”.
- Adjust the pressure to more to ensure that all the intricate pieces have a clean cut.
- Place the Infusible Ink transfer on your Cricut Mat ink side up. And use the brayer tool to make sure it sid pressed well on the mat.
- Load the infusible ink sheet (ink side up) onto the mat while lying flat using the brayer tool and hit “go”.
- Once the cut is complete, carefully begin to weed the infusible ink away from the design using the weeding tool and tweezers around the small and intricate pieces. It is best to leave the cut infusible ink sheet adhered to the mat to help hold it flat while weeding the design. The ink will crack when weeding.
- Remove the weeded design from the mat and line up the design on the coaster. Tightly using heat transfer tape, secure the infusible ink design to the coaster generously covering all sides. As recommended by Cricut, place coaster glossy side up and design face down, liner side up. Then cover with clean butcher paper larger than heat plate.
- Using the easy press and easy press mat, very carefully and slowly press with light pressure at 400°F for 60 seconds.
- Slowly lift press straight up and off onto the base and remove butcher paper. Once completely cooled, carefully pull up the tape and remove the liner of the design of the coaster.
Notes
Infusible Ink Coaster will be very hot. Let cool completely.
