Long answer: Using a heat press when creating items with heat transfer vinyl is the standard if you are planning to sell them.
Do I need a computer to use a Cricut machine?
It requires Windows 10, at least the 64-bit version. I would get a computer that can at least run Windows 10, 64-bit or higher. NOTE: You will need to switch any computer that comes in “S mode” to regular in order to run Cricut Design Space.
Is a heat press better than an iron?
An iron gives you a setting option, but you can’t really be sure of the exact temperature and the heat of all irons will vary. An iron also doesn’t allow you to lock in a pressure setting, so sometimes applying pressure to a product can be quite tedious and time consuming with an iron rather than a heat press.
Can Cricut print stickers?

Is heat transfer or screen printing better?
Heat transfers provide better resolution than screen prints, but are less cost-efficient for larger quantities.
