HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2024
- Cricut sent me the Cricut EasyPress 3 before it is released for sale so that I could try it out. It is a part of a heat press launch today and I will have videos on the other two releases as well so be sure to watch them all. This video covers the Cricut EasyPress 3 and we will be opening the box, setting it up, checking out the new features, and doing some FAQ. If you are wondering if you should upgrade to this Cricut heat press, this is the video for you! Decide whether or not the new features are worth the expense of purchasing a new press for yourself!

I would consider the easy press 3 if there was a buy back program
Thank you Angie.. looking forward to see what else they have up their sleeves!! 🥰🥰
Thanks Angie, you answered all my questions. I love like how the app walks you through a project step by step, but at this time, I'm still good with my EP2, won't upgrade just for the app at this time. I do like it though! Hugs, Brenda
Thank you for this tutorial! You're so good at explaining how things work. I truly appreciate your time 💕
Glad it was helpful!
Nicely done! It looks like my Easy Press 2 is still the one for me. I appreciate this thoughtful test.
I read thru the comments which were helpful and I asked my question in the appropriate comment. I am so EXCITED to receive your book I purchased. I think this was such a great idea for people like me who forget and now will have a reference. Thanks!
Happy to help!
just used my new cricut heat press 3 for the first time while watching these --im truly in love --thanks for your tips :)
I wouldn’t upgrade for it but I think it’s nice for those purchasing their first Easypress. These machines (along with the mats) can be quite costly, especially when first released. I wouldn’t waste the money just to have my phone tell me what setting to use when I’ve spent 3 years learning all of that. I’ll wait for more significant changes.
I agree crafting is getting so costly these days, looks a great machine though!
With all this nonsense going on in the world, we need to be smart with our money.
Yes, I wouldn't upgrade either. I like my Easypress 2 and I already know my most often used settings. And I have made a notes for all my htv's and they're all the time visible on front of my desk. Much quicker than to take a phone, find a app, make a connection, make a new project, choose settings etc. No, it's not for me. Maybe I'm too old fashioned. :D
Amen on that .@@Bigmist8k
Today March 13 Is the first time I see you on RUclips. You are awesome. Can’t wait to buy the easy press 3. It will be my first.
Can’t wait . Thank you for a great video.
Yay! Happy to help!
Very thorough video. Looking forward to your future videos. Happy to have found your channel.
Welcome aboard!
Oh my goodness! I had just ordered the Easy press 2 bundle booooo. I got the notification yesterday that it had just shipped, this one would have been perfect!!
Oh no!
Great video Angie as always, looks a great machine but I'm sure its not cheap, thank you for sharing Liz x
That is really cool that it is so user friendly
Thanks for this great info!
Thanks for answering all my questions and showing off the heat press and I am thinking about upgrading my heat press thanks 😊 ❤️
Happy to help!
And my cricut air 2 is working like a dream all I did was change the blade ❤️❤️
YAY!
Great video. Thank you. I am pretty new but you explain so well. Fortunately I did not get the 9x9 (just the 9x12) when I bought my EP2 at the end of December. Now I want the 9x9 EP3. Looks interesting and love the wifi option.
The bluetooth is so great!
I have the Easy Press 3 9x9 on the way from the last HSN craft event. I also ordered the MAT from Cricut. Your videos helped me choose which one to get. Per your bluetooth question. I do look forward to this feature. I love that my Maker 3 and Joy both have bluetooth and find that feature is high on my checklist.
That is awesome!
i'll keep using my easy press 2 , it works just fine. i dont need another app on my phone. thanks for this tutorial
Yep! Nothing wrong with using what you have!
Great video! I’m going to stick with my EP2, but will definitely be getting the hat press. Looking forward to your future videos! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
ME TOO. I WAS APPROVED TO FINANCE IT; I WILL START OFF THEN PAY IT OFF.
Bought a easy press 2 not long ago, don’t feel I need this just because it’s Bluetooth/app. I’ve got a printout of time/temp, not a hardship to look at a paper. Thanks for the demo
Hi Angie ! Thanks for sharing ! I have the Easy Press 2 and small Easy Press (the off model you made a video on) plus I have the HTVront mini. The only thing I see new with this one is it has the app and is blue tooth. Thanks for sharing .
Yep that really is it! No need to upgrade if you are happy with what you have.
Thank you for the videos
Glad you like them!
Man if I didn't recently get the Easy Press 2 I would have definitely got this 1. I'm waiting for a press for tumblers and different size/shape mugs
Thanks for the awesome video I'll hold on to my easy press for awhile longer but I love the Bluetooth
I really do love it! I wasn't sure if I would!
@@AngieHolden yes that Bluetooth is a game charger and can't wait for the sale to start with heat press
I am so glad that I did not get the EZ press 2 12x10. I had been saying that I need to get the 12x10. I will definitely be getting the 12x10 EZ press 3.
great teaching video
Angie, you answered all my questions. Just have to think about getting one in the near future. Do love watching and learning through all your video's also do appreciate your time. Have to ask, where did you get that little Cricut characters?
They are Cricut cuties. They often come in mystery boxes that Cricut sells. I have just been collecting them for a while now!
@@AngieHolden Thank you for letting me know.
Bought the hat press and I'm excited to get it. I have a 12x10 Easypress 2 so I think it's sufficient versus the Bluetooth on the Easypress 3. Great videos. Thank you. NEW SUBSCRIBER.
Welcome!
I love your videos - you're giving me the confidence I need to get going, so thank YOU! If I'm mainly doing t-shirts, would you think the 9 x 9 would be a good size to buy? What would you use the 12 x 10 for - larger tote bags.larger size t's?
I like the 9x9 for just about everything!
Wonderful - thank you again so much, Angie!
Looks good for those who maybe need a bit more handholding as I keep seeing stories of people being intimidated by their Cricut purchases.
I totally agree! It really does walk you through each step.
Thank you Angie for your detailed videos.. do you have a Cricut discount code? I enjoy your videos and honest plus fair opinions and guides!
Yes I do! CCC2022 is the current code!
Awesome video. 👌
Thanks!
This is great! I enjoy your tutorials! What htv did you use in this video? It looks cool!
It is Cricut Holographic HTV in Translucent blue. I really love it!!
Hi Angie, do you mean smart iron on holographic translucebt blue?
Great demo & intro! Definitely not worth the upgrade for me, but do like that Cricut is stepping up their game!! Thanks Angie!!
Yep! Thanks for watching!
It is probably a response to the reports of intimidation that people get with the products.
Thanks ❤️
thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I just ordered mine. Do you think they’ll make an new version of the mini???
There is a version coming out of the mini to match these in color only. They won't connect to Cricut Heat or be any different.
Thanks, Angie, can you use the heat press for ironing on GS patches?
I think so? I haven't tried that though.
This looks cool! I saw they have a new blue easy press mini do you know if this works with the heat app/ has Bluetooth or if it is just blue
It does NOT work with Cricut Heat. It is just blue to match the others.
@@AngieHolden Thanks! If they had redone it to work with the app and have exact temp I would have bought it.
Which color holographic vinyl did you use in this video? It looks really great! I want to get some or use it if I already have it in my stash.
It was called translucent blue!
@@AngieHolden thank you
Thanks for the video Angie. I haven’t read all the comments so I apologise if the question has already been asked, but as the Easy press 3 gets hotter than the Easy Press 2, what projects would you use the hotter temperature for? I could do without the bluetooth capability but the additional heat makes we wonder if I NEED it or just want it :).
They are both the same. Both reach the same temperatures. Only difference is one has Bluetooth while the other does not.
EasyPress 2 and EasyPress 3 are the same temperatures. They BOTH get hotter than the EasyPress (original) which didn't really get hot enough for sublimation and Infusible Ink.
EasyPress 2 and EasyPress 3 are the same temperatures. They BOTH get hotter than the EasyPress (original) which didn't really get hot enough for sublimation and Infusible Ink.
Hi! How much time and what temperature do you recommend for sublimation, vinyl and transfer? I would really appreciate your help! Thank you!
Try this: ruclips.net/video/fkvDvRqgAko/видео.html
I’m contemplating an EP2 or EP3 (currently have the original but want one for sublimation). You mentioned the 3 was hotter in this video, is that still an issue? Would you still recommend the 3 vs 2?
The only thing the 3 has is the ability to use the app. Otherwise they are the same.
can you use the heat app without one of the new devices? ie use it as a heat guide, and walk you through the process (not automated, have a next button)
It does not have that functionality at least yet. I know that has been suggested to them.
I read a lot of reviews for the easy press 2 that said it doesn't heat evenly after a few months/stick to the products properly. Is the easy press 3 an improvement in that area?
I have had my EP2 for many years and have literally never had an issue.
Does the sublimation feature truly work on the easy press 3, because it wasn’t available for the easy press 2
I am not sure what you are referencing as I have used my EasyPress 2 for sublimation many, many times. Here is a video where I use the EasyPress 3 for sublimation however: ruclips.net/video/_JG0-tlzWtA/видео.html
What HTV is that Angie? I love the water slick effect.
Yes, I would like to know too!!
It was a Cricut HTV. I am in love with it!!
@@AngieHolden Does it have a colour name?
It is their holographic iron-on and I think it is the Translucent Blue.
@@AngieHolden Thanks. I think it looks great.
Do you use the 9x9 for adult sized projects? I have the easy press 2 and thought maybe I'd get a lot of use out of the 9x9 too.
I use it for adult sizes!
@@AngieHolden My guys are big-3x & 4x adult, would the 9X9 still work in one press front & Back or do I need the bigger easy press 3?
Will it work on IPad or does it have to be on the Mobile. Thank you for demo.you are very good. I might get the easy press 3 . I do not have easy press at all. Lol
Yep! iPad is fine! Android phone/tablet as well.
@@AngieHolden thank you so much.
What if my design did not adhere enough and I already removed the clear protective sheet? Can I place a piece of parchment paper on the design and then put the easy press back on?
Yep you can!
Does this same machine cut the vinyl? Or do you need a separate cricut cutter?
The is only for heating your project. You would need a separate Cricut cutter to cut vinyl.
Cool gadget.. what to do with all the excess plastic from using all the vinyls? Can you recycle? Or it goes to general waste/ landfill? Just wondering… bothered with all the plastic when I continue on with this hobby.
You mentions sublimation. Does the easy press 2 work for sublimation?
Yes it does!
I have the cricut press 3.
Can I use design paper 4 T-shirts and how long would I have to press it.
Thanks May
There are a variety of ways to put designs on shirts and the time and temperature depend on the method.
I've seen issues about power being interrupted due to using the easy press. Will it work on a regular 110 household circut? Or does it have to be a 120? Regular outlet, powerstrip or extension cord? Thank you in advance for you advice.
I use a regular outlet and sometimes an extension cord.
@@AngieHolden thanks
My only comment is frustration. I had put off ordering the larger Easypress 2. It came 10 days ago and I haven’t even used it. I would have waited for this. I know the app really is the only difference, but worth it to me. Any indication the software will be updated for the 2 to access the app? As always Angie, thank you for your videos.
Even if they update Cricut Heat, the EasyPress 2 does not have Bluetooth so there is going to be no way to get it from the app to your press.
@@AngieHolden thank you for the prompt response.
Is it possible to send it back or talk to Cricut and see if they can put a refund back towards the 3? Might be worth calling and seeing if it’s within the 30 days.
@@meaganodell4479 I looked up return policy. It’s 15 days and must be unopened. It’s past 15 days and I unpacked it. I tried to call and they said they were closed. It was 2pm PST. They are supposed to be open until 8 EST.
A little bit of weird question. We have someone in our household with a pretty progressive neurological disorder. Therefore we do not have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, because this has been recommended by doctors. My question is just to make absolutely sure, can you use the easy3 with out the application on your phone. Or does it has to be connected before it will work? Then it would be better for us to get the older version maybe.
You will have to connect it once to get it working. I would get the older version to be safe.
have you ever had a easy press that has the screen flicker for the temperature and time. Ive only had my easypress 3 years only used as a hobby. Can they be fixed. Cricut help support were not that helpful. Im hesitating buying another one in case this happens to me a gain
Sorry I have not.
Hi Angie! I hope you're doing well! I finally decided to get an Easy Press. And after weighing the 2 and 3, I went with the 3. Well I'm regret it. My set up and update was kit as simple as you would have thought. I had a heck of a time getting the press to connect to the app. But after an hour and half, and a lot of frustration 😖, I finally got it connected. But now I can't even use it with the app, since I can't even get it to update! 🤦🏻♀️ So I'm using it manually, which defeated the purpose in purchasing the EP 3. Any suggestions on what I can do? Besides uninstalling the app? Because I've done that and it was another 45 minutes before I was able to connect and add again. I'm one step away from trashing it! 😡😤
I would contact Cricut about the issue.
@@AngieHolden Thx! I already have but thought you might have come across someone else with the same issue. 🙂
Hi how did you find the update? I am asking bc I purchased this item and it would not update so was unable to use it. I had to call customer services but that didn’t help at all. I am having to take this one back now for a refund. This is the second brand new heat press I have had since Boxing Day last year!
There haven’t been any issues with mine!
Do u have to use smart iron on with cricut press 3
Nope. You can press whatever you want.
Hello - would an EasyPress 3 work for sublimating on metal?
Yes you can use it.
What is the heat app? I have apple products and could not find it on my phone.
Correct. It will be released by March 13th along with the presses. I have early access.
What I want to know can the easy press 3 be used without the app.
Yes. I show in this video how you can use it both ways.
What vinyl dd you use?
It is the Cricut holographic vinyl and the color is translucent blue. It is really cool!
Can I use on my IPad please. You mentioned Vinyl and heat transfer. What is the difference. Thank you x
Yes you can use with iPad. This is for use with heat transfer vinyl. You can see more here: ruclips.net/video/-S6DzXe5p64/видео.html
@@AngieHolden Thank you. What would I use for normal vinyl then or am I getting the wrong end of the stick so to speak.!!
I have watched the video and think I have got it now. Thank you x
Hi Angie what is the price of the autopress
You can find a link to each press in the description for that video.
What is the cost of this new Ez Press 3.?
I have a link in the description for this video to the Cricut website where it is already up just not for purchase. Click show more if you are on computer. On mobile, swipe up on the video or click the arrow to expand the description.
What is htv?
Try this: ruclips.net/video/-S6DzXe5p64/видео.html
How do you get all these machines sent to you for free? I'm retired, on limited income, so cannot afford any of these.
How much will it cost?
I have links in the description for this video. Remember that when they first come out it is full retail price. I always say to wait for a sale!
When will the app be available?
It should be before the launch of the press so March 13th at the latest. I have early access.
Why almost everything needs to be in an app to run....
Please watch the entire video as you can use this with the app but it also works fine without any app.
Money grab release!
As discussed in the video, this is definitely not something that you need to upgrade for. Not sure why that it would be a money grab.
Not yet: this is called “planned obsolescence” and you can see it with the Maker machines. It’s getting more and more inconvenient to use a Maker 2, until you will HAVE to upgrade. I like your videos and my comment was not about you, but about Cricut.
Not sure of the value here. I guess the app could be helpful for reminders and walking through the project…. Will not be taking the bait…
It is convenient. I do see a huge value with people that are just starting out. I probably would not use the feature a ton.
