The Cricut 2006768 Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets in the Mermaid Rainbow pattern provide a professional solution for creating permanent, vibrant designs on compatible materials. This pack contains four 305x305 mm sheets that are designed to work seamlessly with Cricut cutting machines and heat presses. Unlike traditional vinyl or iron-on transfers that sit on the surface, these sheets utilize a specialized ink process that infuses the design directly into the fibers of the base material, resulting in a smooth, peel-proof, and crack-resistant finish.
Advantages
The primary advantage of using Infusible Ink technology is the durability and quality of the final transfer. Because the ink becomes part of the material itself, the finished product remains soft to the touch and will not flake, peel, or wrinkle over time. The Mermaid Rainbow pattern offers a unique, colorful aesthetic that allows for high-quality customization of apparel and home decor items. These sheets are easy to cut with standard Cricut machines, enabling intricate designs and personalized text that look professionally printed.
Suitable for
- Customizing polyester T-shirts and apparel
- Personalizing tote bags and fabric accessories
- Creating custom designs on compatible ceramic coasters
- Adding unique patterns to Infusible Ink compatible blanks
When it may not be suitable
These transfer sheets are not suitable for use on 100% cotton fabrics or materials that are not specifically designed for Infusible Ink. The process requires a high-temperature heat press, so it is not appropriate for heat-sensitive materials that cannot withstand temperatures of 400°F (205°C).

How to use
To begin, select your desired design and cut it into the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet using your Cricut cutting machine. Ensure the shiny liner side is facing down on the cutting mat. After cutting, weed away the excess material to reveal your design. Place your design face down onto a compatible Infusible Ink blank, securing it with heat-resistant tape if necessary. Apply heat using a heat press set to the recommended temperature and duration for your specific blank. Once the transfer is complete, carefully remove the sheet to reveal the vibrant, infused design.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure you have a compatible heat press capable of reaching 400°F (205°C)
- Verify that your base material is an Infusible Ink compatible blank
- Store sheets in a dark, dry place as they are light-sensitive
- Avoid contact with liquids to prevent damage to the ink
Usage recommendations
For the best results, always ensure the surface of your blank is clean and free of lint or dust before applying the transfer. Use a lint roller to prepare fabric surfaces to ensure a smooth, professional infusion.
