CRICUT EASY PRESS 2 VS CLAMSHELL HEAT PRESS | Which Heat Press Should I Buy? Heat Press Comparison

Struggling to decide which heat press you should get? Today's video talks about the differences between both the cricut easy press 2 and a commercial/clamshell heat press! (featuring my starcraft heat press from 143 vinyl!) I do some test presses with some cute canvas bags and talk about the pros & cons at the end of the video. Hope this helps :)

Thank you for the video! I'm new to CRICUT and your videos are very well explained. ❤️

Thanks Amy! I just started making t-shirts to sell & I have an EasyPress 2. I love it, but, you’re right, the downside is having to manually apply pressure, sometimes multiple times. Definitely thinking about getting the clamshell so that I can be more productive. 😉

I have the easy press 2 same size as shown in your video :) Love it so far!

[tmarmie]

Thanks Amy - very informative video 👍🏻

Needed this video before buying a heat press or Cricut press. God bless you 🙌🙏

[elexusyoung]

This helped a lot! so I figured getting the heat-press is better than the easy press due to the work but I'm a beginner so I will just start off with the easy press first lol

Thanks for the helpful information. Love your new background!

Oh Thank U so much for doing the comparison. Great info. Do u decorate sublimated coffee cups. I have been watching u only a short time. I know some of the heat presses have the accessories for the cups. So look forward to your video's. Thank you so much!

I have an easypress 12x10 because I don’t have room for a clamshell, but when I do get room…it’s going to be the StarCraft in mint to match my Cricut Air2 and my easypress. 😊

I currently have the easypress mini, but I’m definitely getting the easypress 2 soon. I made a sweatshirt with my mini a few days ago and quickly realized how badly I really need the bigger easypress. I hope to invest in the heat press in the future. Great video!

Hi amy! I starting my own small business and I was wondering if you could do a video on how you manage expenses and make cost to make a profit or how you set goals for your business to grow im very curious on these subjects

[liahmt]

by using the cricut easy press, will the design of your products disappear from time to time?? can you wash the products by using the cricut or the design won't be the same??? thank you ☺ love your video, was super clear, really nice job

Hi Amy, I made a pressing pillow for when I use my EasyPress 2 for makeup bags. Would you like for me to make one for you?

[JadaHolley]

Would you recommend doing a sublimation family photo blanket with the Cricut easy press? Been looking for videos that show rather it’s good way to do it or not, I have the HTVront and thought it would be easier to use the easy press vs the HTVront?? Or should I get a clamshell? Idk what’s best? What’s your opinion?

[helenjones]

Thanks heaps for your videos, I only got my cricut 3 weeks ago and already I am addicted, I've watched all your videos!!! Love your style 😍.

Can I put a request in for a Fonts video, how you pick them, what the difference is between the types (serif, sans serif, script etc), how you store and catalogue your fonts...just all things fonts. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the choice, how to find what I have for inspiration and what is best when using vinyl vs making stickers...endless questions

[keliiwilliams]

So, the easy press is more expensive and seems like more work! Thanks for the video!

[briansheehan]

I bought an easy press 2 and it has issues maintaining temperature. I've noticed others have had this issue as well. Have you had any issues with that?

[OohLaLoneStar]

I just ordered a clam shell press. Every time I try to do a sublimation design with my easy press2 it never fails that my image ghosts. I’m hoping the clamshell press fixes that 🤞🏼

In the UK, we can only get the raspberry colour for the Cricut Easy Presses!

Where did you get your clamshell heat press?
