Learn all about new Cricut Autopress and decide if the powerful, user-friendly heat press is right for you!
Like many of you, I've been perfectly happy with my EasyPress and EasyPress 2 for most of the craft projects we've completed together. However, I recently made 30+ custom T-shirts for a team retreat. After the eighth shirt, I was dreaming of a way to speed up the heating of the large design while I prepped my next shirt! The Cricut team must have read my mind, because the new Cricut Autopress does exactly that and more. Now, no heat press will ever be perfect for every crafter, but if you have specific needs, goals, and resources, the Cricut Autopress may be what you need to work faster. I'll tell you all about it, share projects, and answer your questions in this ultimate guide!

This video impressed me so much. Especially when you said that you would be donating this heat press and purchasing your own. I do have the Cricut H P 2 and I like it even though I sometimes wish it were bigger. I balked when I learned the price of the new Cricut lamps a few weeks back, but guess what, I did buy one. It is not perfect but I do like some of it's features. It is not as bright as I expected. Now, how do I justify spending a thousand dollars for the Cricut Heat Press? I don't know if I can right now. I have looked at many heat presses, both new and used. You are right in pointing out their bulkiness. I am now convinced that when and if I do buy a large heat press it will be the Cricut Auto Press. Thank you for your openness and honesty.
Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate all of your feedback and support!💗
OMG Miss Jennifer. I am so grateful that you take the time to show us, in detail, how to use these Cricut items. I save all of your emails so that as I have time, I can go back and look at them. I've been crafting ever since I turned 50 which was about 4 years ago. However, I still consider myself new because I'm still learning all there is to the world of crafting. I am operating my business(es) in a debt free manner, no credit cards to charge items I desire, so it's taking me a while to buy the items I would like to add to my inventory. This one will definitely be added to my "Blessed List" of items I want to purchase. The Easy Press WAS on my list but now it will be replaced with the Autopress 🙂This item is so user-friendly and is easy on your hands, wrist, arms, etc. Thank you again for your time to share with us. I know sometimes we base what we think an item should cost on our budget but this is worth what you will get out of it and what body parts you will preserve from using it. You really can't put a price on health. You're either going to pay now for it or more later. I love this item. They really put some thought into making this, all the way around.❤
Yes! I agree with you! Thank you! ❤️
Miss Jennifer - I have to make the following statement: I absolutely love your videos! You have such a wonderful personality and amazing ideas and skills. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I love the fact that it self adjusts the pressure and also the presets. The price is too steep for me though at this time. Thank you Jennifer for another awesome video!!!🤗
You are so welcome! 😃
Thank you for this great tutorial! This is a very nice press and the auto pressure is amazing, especially for sublimation projects when pressure is so critical and you really just get one shot to get it correct.
HI Anne! I'm so glad you liked it!💗
I just picked up the Cricut Autopress at Michael’s for $799! I became a sublimation and htv addict 3 months ago. My home business is doing great. Thank you for always giving amazing tutorials.
That's a great price! So glad to hear that! 😃
What sub printer do you have? I'm on CZcams now looking and comparing sub printers and I'm overwhelmed!
You are the best at making videos, Jennifer. Thank you! Love
Glad you like them!
You have made my journey with my Maker so enjoyable to use. Thank you💕💕
I;m so glad to hear that!
Thank you, Jennifer, as always very thorough explanation and demonstration of this new Cricut member!😻
Thank you! ❤️
Great video, Jennifer. I can't wait to purchase this, as I have hand issues & this will be a blessing to use.
Hope you enjoy it! 💗
I love your generosity, and thoughtfulness.
Thank you! 😃❤️❤️
I’m so happy Cricut came out with this! I’ve been researching for months and frankly they scare me - I was worried about the pressure needed to close them. I will be getting this as soon as possible! Thank you Jennifer for a thorough and honest review!
Glad it was helpful!
I got another kind/brand, and it wasn't fully closed when I moved it. The handle popped me in the eye
Wow! I'm impressed. This is a premium product with a premium price of course. I am the one off iron on maker, right now, who does vinyl on occasion. But if I had a home business or made pressed items often, I'd definitely be looking at getting this. You explained it all so well.
Wow, thanks!
You always do such an amazing job showing how to use theses products. You explain them so anyone can understand how they work. Thank you so much for showing this. I would LOVE LOVE to have one of those but that price tag is way out of my price range. Although it would make my life easier, I just can’t afford it. But thank you for the video !!!
You are so welcome! 💜
You are so easy to follow. Plus, you are always so friendly and professional! Thank you for this informative video!
You are so welcome! 🌸
I just received my auto press yesterday and was so happy to find this video. I can't wait to get started.
Hope you enjoy it!
so excited about this. I will hopefully be purchasing my first cricut machine (starting with joy) soon as I want to launch my own business and of course with this I have so many ideas. Thank you for such an in depth review.
Love my Auto press and I am so glad I waited for it! It has surpassed all my needs. I love using it and how it works!
It works great! 😃❤️
Thank you very much. I am wanting to purchase one. The sale this week is awesome. Your video helped a lot.
Great to hear!
As always Jennifer wonderfully done. You really inspire me to do more.
I'm so glad you think so, thank you! 💗
Thanks Jennifer, this heat press is really nice and I see it a little differently the way you explain it. The pillow you made is so beautiful.
Thank you!
Thank you Jenifer!! I waited 3 days before I set up my autopress. You make learning easy...I want to be like you!😉
You can do it!
Awesome video thank you!!! Just ordered one!!! Will definitely save me time and money!! Love the auto pressure!! Been looking at different ones and love this!!!!!!
Glad I could help! 😊🌻
Thank you for making this informative, thorough video! Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!💗
I think it's a great product. However I won't be buying it, it's too pricey.
It really is an awesome product but I understand, its not going to be justifiable for everyone's needs. 💗
love that you are donating it. That is so thoughtful
😊❤️
A very comprehensive demonstration, Jennifer. It looks like an awesome machine.
It really is so impressive! 💗
I received my auto press today. Wow! I love it. It was easy to set up and my first press was an infusible ink shirt. Perfect press! Thanks for all this invaluable information.
Wonderful!
My husband spoiled me with this for Christmas, on sale of course. At first I thought I would return it but honestly im in love with it. Even for the casual user I already see myself doing more bc of the time savings this has for me. But for sure sticker shock would have kept me from buying it for myself.
Great video on the how to’s of setting it up, step by step tutorial and showing the sleekness of the machine itself! It would definitely be hard to compare. Thank You for sharing
I'm so glad you liked it! 💗
It's not being released in Australia until later in the year, initially I was like "I'm not paying that crazy price" but now I'm reconsidering. I really am impressed by it. It will likely be $1500AU here and I'll have to save but I am totally loving the look and features of this machine.
I have a 5 in 1 press but am not overly in love with it, I love how high this one goes - almost no risk of burning myself at all.
I really like it. 😊
Thanks Jennifer for sharing this and as usual being honest on your opinion I Love that
Always!
Great video!! Loved the tips and your style of teaching. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words! 🌸
great vid and wow love that machine... it looks like a dream machine... so easy to use i love it... ty for showing and explaining it for us...
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Can't wait to get my hands on one 🤗 Thank you!
Have fun!
Ohmygosh!! How cool is this! Cricut has been busy with the new machines! I’d love to be left alone to play in your craft room! 😍 It’s crafting heaven on earth! I’m a gadget person and I want every Cricut machine, accessory and tool that comes out! I could start my own business right away! Unfortunately I have to wait until my health gets better to handle the harder manual labor the AutoPress would knock out. I’ll get there one day with my old Cricut’s help. The Autopress, Hatpress, Mugpress & light pad sure look like a lot of fun though. 💖✨
Thank you Jennifer for all the great information!
Any time!
I am so glad I watched this! Nice product!
Thanks for watching!
Very good video. I appreciate your honesty. I do have the autopress and love the features such as you. Prior to owning one, I too didnt understand all the features but appreciate everyone of them
Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to use my new auto press. Thank you for the very detailed tutorial 😍
You are so welcome! 🌸
Love this video, so much good information. 🥰
Thank you!
You did a wonderful job explaining all about the heat press.
I'm so glad you think so, thank you! 💗
Thanks Jennifer for this demonstration of the Auto press. I really like the heat press. It's really innovative and sleek with many features. I'd be willing to give it a chance.
I'm glad you liked it and appreciate you watching!💗
That’s really good information on using the proper extension plug! ♥️
Thank you!
I love it, thank you for sharing…. I definitely have to save up for this one!
You are so welcome! 😃
I love your videos- you're always so cheery! Your review was very helpful, especially regarding the target audience. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Que emoción que ya tiene en sus manos la autopress felicidades , y hace cosas maravillosas saludos desde México
Thank you, Jenifer! You make learning easy and I want to be just like you! 😉
Wonderful!
Thank you Jennifer for another impressive video! This heat press machine could be super awesome if it included a mug press and hat press.
I'm glad you liked it! 💗
Agreed for $1000 it should have the mug and hat press! The price is just too much!
She received hers for free, she’s lucky. I’m not supporting cricut anymore they are acting like they sell apple products costing more and more money. This takes the fun away from projects 😔
@@DH-uo3hf And she is donating it to a charity and then buying her own.
If you have a businss, you could probably make the cost up in no time.
I have the hat press and mug press. Worth the money AND just ordered the auto press after much deliberation and hatred of my current heat press LOL
Jennifer thank you! You have such a huge heart!
You are so welcome!
Nice video and very informative! I don't even know cricut press come out with this auto press version until i saw your video! And your outfit is so cute! :D
Thanks for watching and thank you! 😃💜
Hi Jennifer, One person asked the same question that I have. When you pressed the design on the board you were only able to get part of it did you move the press and press the rest? If you did how did you make sure you did not press some of the design twice? You are so great at describing items that come out. Thank you for all your work and keeping us all up to date.
Yes, my board was like 20" long, so I pressed one side, then moved it to the other side and pressed it. I probably was pressing a part of the design twice -- but it didn't matter, as it would have only been a little bit. Still worked great. :)
Your description and applications are on point as usual. For me to justify that price, an order would have to pay for it. Real talk. The time saving feature is very impressive. Cricut is masterful at innovation and design. Overall, this press, I have to think about it a bit more.
Thank you so much for watching and for you feedback! 💗
Thank you for a wonderful video tutorial. 🌸
You are so welcome!
I really like how you explain things. I would love the press. Maybe one day 🙂
Thank you so much!💗
Excellent presentation. thank you!
You're very welcome!
First off, I'm a huge fan. I love all of your videos, and feel like we almost know you and your awesome little family! I've purchased the full Cricut College and have completed all of the projects except the leather (I finally have the materials). I'm looking into buying the Maker Academy Weekend pass when I can afford it, if it's not too late.
When you're doing the wooden sign, you say that it's 2" thick, it looks like it's actually a 1" thick piece. I would love to have you show us a press of something that's a true 2", like a small saying on a 2x4, which is still actually less than 2", but close enough. Thank you for sharing your love of crafting with the world!
You are so welcome! 😃
Thank you for your informative video. The heat press is on sale for Mother's Day and now, I know it's worth it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for this video, just another awesome purchase I need to save for
You are so welcome!
Loved the video. The machine looks impressive but far out of my price range. I still use my heat press 2 works great for me. Have a great day. 😍
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, the Easy Press 2 is a great machine! 💗
I love the space saving idea! I hate having my big heat press always in the way. I would love to get this!
That is a huge deal to me as well! 💗
Great video! Thank you so much for making it. Also, I love that you will be donating the one Cricut sent you!
Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial.
You are so welcome!💗
Looks awesome thank you.
Glad you like it!
I’m okay with the price. I’ve seen heat press with less features over 1000. I love my Cricut machine. Will definitely be saving for this one. Great video!!
I totally agree! Thank you!
I really enjoyed the video. The press is too expensive for my needs but I'm glad I heard more about its capabilities.
I'm glad you liked it! 💗
Sometimes I wonder if people really listen to what is said in the videos ....This is not for the hobby crafters, this more for someone who do this for a living, for some one running their own business....for those who want a knock off from China, remember you get what you pay for, and those complaints about guarante you get cricut warranty and you can always purchase extra warranty for 30 dollar more or less...as for me i am planning to get one as my little business grow...and I love that it doesn't have the attachment, I can work on mugs and tumblers as the same time that I work on shirts, for me that is a time saver....Thanks @Jennifer Maker for an awesome informative videos ....
You're so welcome! Thank you for the kind words! 🌸
I just ordered the hat press. You make everything so simply
YAY! Happy to help! 💚
I think the Auto Press is great, but unless you had a business that would be making a lot of T-shirts I just can’t say it would be practical. At $999 it’s not for the everyday crafting mom or grandma. Thanks for sharing Jennifer, and I love that you are going to be donating the one Cricut sent you and your going to be buying your own Auto Press. It only show’s how you are always thinking of others.
Thank you soi much for this video it was very informative. My only question is WHEN IS THE RELEASE DATE AND IS THERE A PRE-ORDER OPTION?
Idk, the price isnt really worth less work for me, especially when cricut doesnt offer extra warranty.
As always, great video and review though.
Thank you for watching and I really appreciate your feedback!💗
I am in love with it. I have been wanting a clamshell press, but couldn't decide which would be best. I use the EasyPress2, but there are times when I need more pressure than I can apply. I found making the sublimation jigsaw puzzles, that I didn't have even pressure causing fading in spots. This would be perfect. Thanks for the video.
I'm so glad you liked the video, thank you for watching!💗
Love your videos! Can you recommend a sturdy rolling cart that would work to put this machine on and use it while on the cart?
Not off the top of my head, but I do have an awesome group of crafters that may be able to help you! You can ask in my group at this link, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/ 💗
Thanks for your video Jennifer ... can you tell me if it works well for DTF transfers
Yes, absolutely.
I bought the auto press mainly because I like the option to move it and store if needed. I craft in my bedroom and I’m quickly running out of space. I also have arthritis in both hands and my back. This could be a lifesaver for me 😊
That's a great idea! I do hope to hear back about how it helps! 🌸
Thank u so much for your explanation I think you have convinced me that it would be good for me the price is steep maybe you can make another video about the Hat press thank you again
That will be my next one if I decide to do it.
Thank you for very clear instructions. I’m surprised that there were no instructions that came with the auto press.
They are on cricut.com
I love how it opens with just a touch
Yes! It is so easy! 😃
I love that you even stated first that its pricey. I can’t even really afford an easy press 2..but I plan on buying it. Maybe ill put away some money for the next year and get it then.
Thank you. ❤️
Here is something most didn't think about, if you do pop-up shops this press is easily able to take along with you. You can also store it in different places in a upright position. It looks table-top in size.
True!
Awesome video, instructions, etc. Love your videos Jennifer.
When I was first looking into heat presses, the bulky Industrial ones started st $499. Yes the price is steep compared to the other cricut presses but it seems justified compared to industrial presses of similar capabilites. I'm not prepared to pay that price yet but I want one...bad!!
Thank you!
That's one amazing machine!
It really is! 😃
Thanks Jennifer.
You are so welcome! 💜
Don't even have a Cricut, but I like viewing all of Jennifer's videos.
Thank you!
I’m in love😍
YAY! 💚
Great Video, can't wait until mine arrives! Would you consider doing a video on sublimation and HTV on the canvas frames?
Yes! You can submit the idea here. 😃 jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/
Jennifer, great video. Could I possibly use a different brand of htv's time/temp for one of the presets? Or will this heat press only work for the Cricut htv? Thank you.
Yes u can😊 she stated u can use the pre sets to your liking. just dial to the temp needed , and how long to press , then hold down the pre set number (1-4)
Yes, you are not limited to Cricut brand materials. 💗
That looks so quick and easy to do
Very easy! 💚
Oh my. I would love love LOVE to have one 😮😮😊😄😄
😃❤️❤️❤️
I will have to save up for this machine I like its features for I have arthritis in my hands it cannot be holding down the easy press for a long times I also like it that I don’t have to figure out how much pressure I need for my projects thank you for the information
You are so welcome! 😃💜
Thank you it was a great CZcams
Glad you enjoyed it!
You really should be on QVC. You're so good at this infomercial stuff!
It really wasn't meant to be an infomercial at all, I was just testing out the new products as I usually do when they come out 💗
@@JenniferMaker I want trying to say it in a bad way. You just have that vibe. Totally not a bad thing at all lol. You could totally be a QVC star!
thank you very much for this video, Can I print on plastic or Plexiglace?
Yes, you can use permanent vinyl. It works great on those surfaces.
Awesome review! Thank you! Will the 10% access discount work on this?
It should.
That was nice to do the in memory for Melody Lane I loved her videos she was such a nice person. Going to miss her alot.
Thank you for that, I will miss her too 💗
Do you need to click safely remove usb on computer like you would with a usb thumb drive/external hard drive?
My $200 15x15 heat press from Amazon with all attachments, works just fine for me. I'm way good on a $1,000 heat press with zero attachments.
That's fine. The Autopress is not an entry level press. Compare it to a press like this: www.stahls.com/auto-open-clam-heat-press
Awesome thanks for sharing Great video great products I love my maker and easy press which I have 3 but I wish Cricut would work on enlarging the print and cut images we waste a lot of paper.
Thanks for watching!
Hello thank you for an amazing video. How well does it do with non cricut brand htv?
Yes, the Autopress will work with all good-quality heat transfer vinyl and similar brands.
Just bought one!
Yay! Enjoy! 😃
