Review on Cricut Infusible Ink Pens, Basic Fine-Point DIY Markers (0.4) - Pack of 5 by Shantel Griffin

Meh. I will not assimilate and leave the team. These markers are fine and worked as expected. What disappointed me was their relatively high price and the fact that Cricut appears to have made their thermal transfer ink product to only be used with their empty pockets, shirts, etc. I just assumed this was marketing bullshit (we're telling you that this year it's best to use a Cricut heat press, which is clearly exactly the same as the other vendors on Revain - c'mon folks, everything anything that can reach and maintain the right temperature will work). I watched a few videos online before using non-fusible ink, and other (probably semi-independent) manufacturers have said in their videos that you can't use them on non-cricut media as they might have used the ink or the ink does not absorb does not stick and rinses off quickly. Assuming this is true, it sucks because the same limitations don't exist with other heat transfer inks. If it was done on purpose, then it's even worse. I don't want Cricut constantly trying to sell me something new or to sell me online or in the design industry. I have already paid the premium amount for the maker and accessories and subscribed to the Design Space. Consider building long-term relationships with your customers instead of trying to force them into the world of Cricut-branded crafts. They do great things, but some of them are incredibly expensive and others aren't as good as some of the alternatives out there. Don't try to fool us and don't limit our skills to Cricut brand tools and supplies. This way you build a larger and more dynamic community that doesn't harden over time because these relationships are so one-sided. Oh, and by the way, I refuse to order any materials directly from your site. Revain delivers your content to me on time and for free with my Prime subscription. The price is either the same or cheaper most of the time when shipping is taken into account. Why do you make it so hard for me to love you forever?
