THANK YOU!! This is the FIRST time I’ve seen a demonstration of using the pens to draw a multicolored design!

All information was useful 👍, especially the info on laser vs regular paper for infusible ink.

Best of any Cricut related video I’ve seen!

[miriampalanchi]

Great Tutorial, I so needed this since I'm getting a mug press for Christmas and I'm totally lost!

Love your videos Alex. I have an answer/tip about the different types of copy paper. I’m a professional calligrapher and we usually use 32lb laser paper because it is smoother and the ink takes better. The higher the pound (24, 32) is better as your ink won’t bleed as it would on regular copy paper. The brightness really doesn’t have any effect on your project. Keep up the awesome videos. Been watching you from day 1.

I absolutely enjoyed your video! You explained everything about the coloring because I was lost. I couldn't figure out why every time I changed it to pen, my color would disappear and there would only be lines. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video. The company I work for created a training video for using the mug press and it left me asking so many questions that your video has answered. They advised placing the actual mug press on a heat resistant surface like the easy press mat. I can see from your video, that isn’t necessary. You rest the hot mug on the mat instead. They used copier paper to protect the mug press from ink seepage, you have used butcher paper, though I'm not sure what that is in the UK. I also liked your comparison of the different types of copier paper. Thank you for this in depth guide. 😊
