Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your Cricut Joy Xtra software is updated to recognize the Smart Material load setting. When placing the material into the machine, ensure the shiny liner side is facing down. For application, use a heat press or home iron set to the recommended temperature for your specific base material. Always wait 24 hours after application before washing the garment. When cleaning, turn the garment inside out and use a cold wash setting with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and direct ironing on the vinyl; instead, iron the fabric from the inside or use a protective pressing cloth over the design.
