 We just tested out Cricut infusible inks against sublimation printing, and we'll show you what we found right now. What is up? Welcome back! Do you like to do a builder make it? Great! That's what we do on this channel. And today, we decided to check out that Cricut infusible ink. It is everywhere on YouTube, like everywhere that we go. I'm always seeing this infusible ink on the YouTube. The YouTube. On the YouTube. So we decided to check it out, and I wanted to go ahead and put it up against sublimation printing and heat transfer to see how good it really is. Step one! Unbox the stuff. I'm going to open it up and see what we got. Alright, we're going to try two projects today. We have t-shirts and coasters. I'm going to sublimate on a t-shirt, and she's going to use the infusible ink. Infusible ink sheets. And I'm going to sublimate on two coasters. And she's going to try the infusion markers. So we'll see. We got similar designs. Alright, we're doing t-shirts first. Yep. Whether you want to unbox your ginger in there. Yeah, let's do it. See what you got. That thing is seriously packaged. Alright, I got Cricut products to sublimate on. You notice these t-shirts were 90%, 95% polyester, so I should be able to sublimate on them. Alright, what do we got here? Help me flatten it out. Alright, so how many sheets do we get? One of each. Two designs, two solids. Blue, navy blue and red. And this paisley. Red paisley. And denim. And a denim sheet. And then these are... That's butcher paper. Butcher paper, alright. So we got like four sheets of butcher paper. And a little scrap. Little scrap. Alright, well, I think it works just like a heat transfer vinyl. So we're going to cut it out. We're going to cut out our image reverse. Mirror, yeah. Alright. Let's do it. Let's do it. Alright, I'm going to jump into design space and cut out my design on my infusible ink paper. So with this, it needs to be face up, right, and mirrored. Yep, and mirrored. Alright, well she's cutting that out. I'm going to print my image. So I'm going to jump into Word, pull out my image real quick and hit print. I'm also going to mirror it. My image is all printed. Kim is weeding out her image. Stuff kind of works like heat transfer vinyl. You're going to want to put one of these inside the shirt. It's an inch from the v-neck. You want to slide that underneath there now? Oh, I guess I could. Alright, go ahead. Alright, 385, 40 seconds. Alright, now it's going to be a warm peel. A warm peel. Is that what it's in? Yeah. Got a little hot. You ready? Yep, go. Woo, that looks good. Wow. Alright, that came out way better than I thought it would. Alright, I'll give you that way better than I thought it would. Check that out. Hold it close. Hold it close. Stars and stripes, yeah. My shirt. Again, this is my sublimation. Here's my sublimation jam. Hold it close. You're going to turn the dams around. Turn the dams around? Yeah. Are you going to need any tape? Let me get you some. Yeah. I don't need no tape. Oh, Julia. How far from the collar? Alright. Yes, yours is more like three inches. You want a tape measure? Nope, I'm good. Looks good, right? Yeah. Here. I don't... Yeah. Let's tape this because you're using the easy press. Okay. I'm going to use the same settings. 385 for 40 seconds. Bam. Woo, smoky. Ooh, all the way through. Ready. One looks good too. Oh, did you lie? Shirt battle, babe. Alright, let's go put them on. Now we're going to make some coasters. We've got these ceramic coasters. Kim's going to make two. I'm going to make two. Kim's in design space right now. She pulled up some coasters. And she's going to do whatever. I'll do whatever. Alright, we're printing my two using a print and cut. But we won't really cut it. Okay, for my coasters, we're going to use laser printer paper on your Cricut map. You're going to change your image to draw. And you're going to insert your pen. I'm going to use this cardinal. And I'm going to hit... I'm going to mirror mine. Continue. That's what the marker looks like. Yes, it seems like it kind of ran out of ink. Heartway through. So I wasn't sure I was going to fill it in. But now I think I have to. Because the marker kind of ran out of ink. Alright, mine is all printed. Looking sharp. Kim's is all drawn. Looking... So sharp. Yeah, it's like the markers ran out of ink or something. It doesn't stay fully inked. So I'm going to try it again. I'm going to try it again. I'm going to try it with a green marker. Maybe it's my marker. Although it just came out of the package. Fresh out of the package. You got the marker. Green came out a little better. A little sharper. I wouldn't say great, but better. Definitely better than that red. She still has to color it in. Now we're using some high heat tape to tape our designs in place. And you said 300 seconds? Well you're 240 seconds. I'm 300 seconds. Okay, but your temperature? It's 400. Your temperature? I thought it was 3 something. 400. Alright. I'm going to do 250. These things are steamy. So steamy. Can't touch these. They're way, way, way too hot. They're like 400 degrees hot. And they smell a little warm. How are they so stinky? What? No, it still looks good. Even if I flipped it. Not pretty good. It looks like a marker though. I mean it's exactly what we saw on the paper. Which is what I thought it was going to do. There's the Cricut Infusible Ink Coaster. Here's both of them. I almost broke them. And here are the Sublimation Coasters. Look crisp, don't they? Look hot. Sublimation T-shirt. See how it's got the fade mist to it. Cricut Infusible Ink Sheets. Came out good. The Cricut Infusible Ink Sheets. A lot easier to use than the pens. The pens, they look like pens. The acrylic pens. You got to color in all the stuff. It'll just do the outline. Going to print or cut something. It's just going to look better than what those markers look like. Maybe if you were just simply drawing with the black marker and drawing words. That might turn out okay. But this image looks way better with the Sublimation. Because you used your printer. Same here, you used your cutter. So it looks way better. Much sharper. Looks good.
