Wish I loved this product:(
I am only writing this review in hopes of giving others some insight on this product that I wish I had prior to investing SO much money. I will be the first to admit I didn't thoroughly research this product before I jumped into using it.I found out too late that only cricut products/clothing are guaranteed to have preferred results. Without knowing this, I made a couple onesies for a baby shower. They came out pretty good, a little blotchy and uneven, but acceptable. Then the day before the shower I found out I needed to use cricut brand onesies! I had no choice but to unwrap my gift and hand wash them to test this out. Much to my horror, all the ink washed out!I not only purchased the cricut brand onesies in a panic to make this gift the correct way, but after further research also learned the cricut press is also needed. (You can use a regular iron, but again, they do not recommend it "for best results")I justified this by telling myself I can make many things for myself and my daughters - even bought some cricut totes.Well, to make this long review a little shorter, I got everything read to iron, but my results were not worthy of gifting. The image was blotchy. I ended up just buying a regular cotton onesie and used a regular cricut iron-on.I even made a tote, which also came out blotchy. I have invested WAY too much into this, several rolls of infusible ink, the press, cricut products, etc... and in the end, nothing came out like it claims. Even with the proper, material, prep, press set to correct temperature and time - you name it, the finished product every time was blotchy.So I wanted to let others who maybe aren't cricut experts to make sure the investment is worth it before you purchase this ink. If this product was able to be used any fabric, I would not be so critical, but when it ONLY works on their material and products, and even that result was far from perfect, to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I am sure many have created amazing products, but sadly with several attempts, this was not the case for me.

Manufactured for profitability, not usability
The sheets were what I expected. Good color and good images that matched what was shown online. The paper is stiff and a little harder to work with than I had expected, but it was not bad at all. I'm knocking down the stars because: 1) it's expensive for what you get (4 12 x 12 sheets) and 2) I'm irritated that Cricut apparently has designed these so that they will only work with their blank items. Other heat transfer inks don't require the use of proprietary materials to print on. I'm not going to get into the whole ink transfer process with Cricut after all. This be the last box of their ink that I buy. Come on Cricut people stop trying to force us cult conformity and nickeling and diming us when it comes to using your machines. You are ruining what should be a very happy life-long relationship. Think about your long term goals rather than your short term profitability. I love my machine and the quality of your products, but I've already switched to non-Cricut vinyl and will looking to source other materials elsewhere as well.

Beautiful on polyester
My second time around, I learned my lesson. The first time I tried infusible ink transfer sheets, I just bought a regular shirt, and the results weren't great. Definitely wasn't as vibrant as the box shows. This time around, I did a little more research and bought a 100% polyester shirt. BEAUTIFUL results.I reccomend following instructions before using these sheets. Also, if you have a Cricut Explore Air 2, remember to put your cut setting on Custom, and then select Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet on your computer. I didn't do this the first time, and it was a nightmare when it came to weeding.

Waste of money!
First of all it only comes with one leopard piece and the other piece is a solid pink which I think is a waste, if I wanted pink I would buy pink. Also this product is only for light colored shirts which is not made clear anywhere. I created my design for shirts, weeded out 12 words only to find out after tons and tons of looking up online that it’s for light shirts only. So now I wasted tons of money on something I can’t use. I would not recommend using this at all!

Bright beautiful colors
This product is great be sure to watch a couple of youtube videos before buying and using. Colors came out beautiful, wedding wasn't the greatest however I didn't follow instruction for that part so I chalk it up to user issues. However my shirt came out beautiful. Only wish product or shrt (cricut brand) was cheap. Both product together was almost 20.00.

watercolor splash is gorgeous! Read on for tips
Watercolor Splash is BY FAR my favorite infusible ink pattern! It's got an 80s feel, like splatter paint. So pretty. I fantasize about what design I can make next with it. I'm just getting into infusible ink and it has been an expensive learning process but my tips to hopefully save you frustration and money are these:-Wash your hands and thoroughly dry them before touching the ink sheet.-If you accidentally touch your face or hair, wash your hands again or use alcohol based hand sanitizer to get the oil off your fingertips before touching the sheet.-Use the little cloth that comes in each box to handle the sheet. Keep those little cloths in a baggie nearby for use with future ink sheets.-FLIP your design in your studio software (I use silhouette design studio) but put the PRETTY SIDE UP on your cutting mat (not like htv!)-Easypress 2 setting: 385° for 40 seconds.

Love
First time using infuseable ink and it was so easy and came out beautiful. The first sheet I loved the pattern but was to big for my easy press so havent used yet. If your iron or press isnt big enough to cover whole design and you overlap in an area the color will be darker in that one spot. Second one I did was smaller and fit the easy press and came out beautiful.

Not what I expected
I was so excited to try this product. I search for videos and followed all the instructions on cricut website. When I transfered the design into the piece of clothes it looked great with vibrant colors; however, after a couple hours the colors started fadeing at a point that I could barely read the design. I attached both pictures to proof my point. Very desapointed.
