The Cricut Mug Press is the newest Machine from the Cricut Brand. Released March 11th 2021 to the public. Cricut product experts and other social media influencers were provided the machine and materials early to gain interest in the machine. I was not provided anything for this video everything is paid with my own money and no one is compensating me for my views. The Cricut mug press is being compared and reviewed against the BetterSub mug press from Amazon. Cricut retails for $199 and bettersub at the time of this video for $139

The Cricut Mug press did impress me more than I thought it would and I am excited to share with you the pros and cons of this mug press vs the mug press by BetterSub purchased on Amazon. My Review is 100% honest. No one paid me for this content. No products or services were offered or provided for this video. All items in this video were purchased by me out of my own money.
Thank you for this honest review! You definitely want to use a piece of copy paper around your mugs before pressing when using sublimation ink or it will transfer to the press.
i have the same mug press from Amazon. I have been doing 400f for 3 mins for Infusible Ink and by the manual for sublimation.
Thank you for sharing this video one thing I absolutely appreciate with you is how in detail you are and how even though you’re talking it doesn’t feel like it’s dragging on. Very nice I wish you the best
This video deserves a sub…
I take my hat off to you for going that extra mile and paying for the presses, making, editing and posting the video.
It has all the information I need to allow me to purchase a mug press.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! This just made my day!
When you sublimate use parchment paper between the machine and the cup and it keeps from staining your machine. It really helps! Amazing review!
I agree- protects your machine!
My press is coming tomorrow and I'm very excited! Thank you for doing the comparison. I always second guess myself and watching these videos are making me feel better for this purchase. :)
Which Press did you get?
Great video. I found a cricut mug press new for $100 on Facebook. And it looks way more convenient to own and use. Also I think the warranty and customer support will be way better with cricut, I hope. But dealing with Amazon sellers... They aren't so great most of the time.
I really enjoyed this video... thank you for taking the time to do a decent comparison for us
Thank you very much for your honesty I thought you would’ve went with the cricket one but I’m glad to hear that you gave us your true opinion I just love your videos
I love your honesty! Thank you for doing this! Also, I have seen other videos where the tape over the design could prevent the color from being a vibrant. I noticed some color was left on the paper in the same spot as the tape. Hope that helps. I'll definitely subscribe. Looking forward to more videos! 🖤
You have to activate through cricut.how sad
Thank you so much for this information! I’ve had my mug presser for almost 7 months now and couldn’t figure it out. My dye sublimation sheets wasn’t transferring on the mug and I gave up. I just went to Jo Ann and bought the Cricut mug and it work!! I’m so excited!!
Sounds like you were not using mugs made for sublimation. Unless the cricut mugs are on sale I wouldn’t buy them. They are pricey. I recommend 143vinyl for mugs you can use code CORINNE to save on them as well
Absolutely fantastic comparison!!! I love that you didn't get to practice before sharing everything with us. All the other videos I've seen were obviously sponsored by Cricut because they had the presses before they were for sale. So they had time to practice before their videos. I love your honesty and comments on both presses. I almost got one today, got up to the register and because of a price issue, walked out without anything. Thank you again for the true and honest comparison. I sincerely appreciate it.
❣❣❣❣❣
Corrie, thank you for giving review that's not influenced by companies or agents.
Thank you so much for this review. I just got the Bettersub press and I tried an off brand infusible ink. The infusible ink had a different temp than the press suggested, so my first mug was a fail, but I'll try again using the correct temp for the sheets. I am waiting for my sublimation printer to arrive so we'll see how it goes!!! Again, thank you so much for this video review. It's really helpful!!!
Your reviews are fresh and honest. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this very nonbiased review. I was at Michael's yesterday and I saw it but I wanted to see people's thoughts and how it works. This video has given me lots of information about the product and the one from Amazon. I will probably be getting the Amazon one since I like making designs. Again thank you so much
Looking at buying a Cricut and mug press at the moment and I found this to be a balanced critique of the products presented. Many thanks and well done - Subscribed.
Love this.. I’m a sublimator and was going to get the Cricut one. So thanks.. 6 minutes is too long for a mug.
I have the Cricut mug press and I love it. I have done over 500 mugs with only sublimation, of the 500+ less than 10 of those did not turn out good and that was user mistakes because I did not tape well.
AWWWWW just the woman I want to ask this question to...
Can you do FOIL on mugs with the Cricut press?
Do you have other Cricut machines too?
most honest comparison so far...
I saw one the other day that I swear she actively screwed them up.
Thanks for your honest review I will stay with my mug press
A good, thorough comparison of both machines. I bought my Maker for cutting fabric for applique mainly and maybe a few other things. I was curious to see what this mug press was all about but I wont be rushing out to buy one, Cricut or from Amazon. It gets really expensive. The infusible ink sheets are eyewateringly expensive and there is no way I could ever afford a sublimation printer but it is good to see how these things work. Thankyou so much.
I brought my mug press at around Christmas sales last year and used AFFIRM which you will find in the list of outside places to charge. I paid mine off in 6 months, but you have choices. Easy way to do craft buying.
Also, when taping the art to the mug, would you get better results if you allowed a minimum distance from the top and bottom (say 1/8") so the artwork can be well pressed against the mug? It appears that when you tape the top and bottom edges, that process may be keeping the press from fully pressing the art to the mug. If there is a minimum gap from top and bottom, you wouldn't need to tape, and the press may press the art more evenly with no gaps. (I'm assuming, based on the little experience I have personally.) Thx for reading.
Good review. At this time, I am not planning on getting any mug press. We have so many mugs in our house already but I think the colors and being able to put your own ideas on the mugs are wonderful and may have been interested a few years ago. Thanks for investing in the tutorial. Really good review. One comment, others have been saying to put uncoated paper around the mug to prevent the discoloration to the cricut mug press.
There is a knob on the non cricut press that you should adjust for the cup you are using so it will fit easier - plus so you will apply the correct pressure.
Thank you. I appreciate your taking time to compare several variables. You evaluated fairly. Very helpful.
Love the "hush calm your self " to the cricut machine lol!!! Ty for the review :)
Thank you for sharing. I think I like the cricut press better because personally I have difficulty with my right hand and I would be able to handle to cricut press better.
Wow! You did an amazing job with showing us ALL the intricacies of both presses...I really appreciate you doing this! Thanx SO much! 🥰
Awesome review. You really covered all the bases in a clear and up front way, which I really appreciate. I'm looking forward to seeing what other things you do with the presses going forward.
I would love to see if they can do tumblers and stuff.
You did an awesome job on reviewing both for the mugs. What I don't like is you can't get the design under/above and below the handle. I am not fond of the negative space.
That bugs me too.
Yes I agree but I don’t think you can change that.
The only way to get around that is to use a convection oven, and do a full wrap leaving space for the handle. Mug presses allow the handle to protrude so the heat only presses up to the handle leaving a gap.
I’m curious as to why you use so much tape on your mugs. We have had a TransPro Mug Press, and been doing mugs for over 6 years. All we have ever had to do is make sure paper is tight to mug, and then secure with two pieces of tape by the handle.
Because I wanted to keep it similar to what the Cricut press wants done and I didn’t want any of the infusible ink to gas off onto the press like it did on the cricut press
Really explain in more detail please🙏
@@kalvinabro7130 I can’t explain further. I did what cricut suggested doing to keep everything consistent. I don’t know why they want that much tape. They are not exactly known for the best craft related choices with their directions but again I needed to follow their directions to keep everything as similar as possible
Hey sheryl tupa i have the same press but my blacks come out brown how do you run ur temps and pressure
@@jenniferscarborough408 Hi, Jennifer. We do our mugs at 400 degrees, for 4-1/2 minutes. “Snug” pressure, with a piece of butcher paper wrapped around it. If your blacks are turning brown, time is too long.
LOVED YOUR REVIES AND YOU ANSWERED A LOT OF QUESTIONS I HAD.
Me too very professional
First time i watch your tutorials! Excellent 💪🏼💪🏼thank you for taking the time to help us decide. Cricut machine is beautiful but that is all!
I buy the 15 ounce mugs from Amazon & heat Press Nation.
Thanks for your comparison. I am going to try a silicone wrap and a inexpensive convection oven and see how that goes. When I first saw the mug press I thought I had to have it and then I saw the price tag. I don’t foresee selling mugs so I just can’t see spending $200 to make a few mugs for gifts and a few for myself. So if the oven doesn’t work I am probably just going to skip it. Though I do think the oven might work out for me
Honestly the silicone wrap will drive you insane.
Getting the temperature correct is really hard as it fluctuations in the larger space.
Believe me you will wish you spent on a machine.
@@sooty8992 By now I have done 4 mugs using the wrap and a convection oven. It is working great for me. The first one had a few little issues that I learned from, but the next three were perfect.
I am not having trouble putting the wrap on. (and I am using far less tape than a lot of people seem to use.) And the oven is doing a great job. I am doing 400 degrees for 12 minutes and have seen people be successful with it using other temps and times.
Most people are only going to create a few mug for themselves and for gifts. If I end up making 10 mugs total, each one would cost the amount of the supplies plus $20 for the press - so $25-$30 per mug depening on cost of supplies.
If someone is planning on selling them, they would do better to buy a larger oven so they can do multiple mugs at one time.
@@olivia8979 Im glad someone can use them.
They drove me mental I done about 8 cup's and everyone ended up in the trash.
Then I noticed them starting to split so they ended up in trash as well.
@@olivia8979 I totally agree. Bought a convection oven for much less than a Cricut mug press. I also have silicone wraps. I don’t plan to start a business, just make gifts.
@@olivia8979
OVEN... Yes.. Tell me more... Love this idea.
I am new to this... and I am going to be selling these in my Acting Studio... or rather giving them as gifts to my Acting Students (good advertising as well).
Excellent review! I have no desire to buy the mug press, but really enjoyed your thorough testing!
Same
Had you checked with the Cricut site before you used the mug press you would have seen that you use 3 sheets of butcher paper with any sublimation sheet and if you use the infusible ink pens to avoid blow out on your mug press. The Cricut infusible ink sheets do not require the 3 sheets of butcher paper because it has its own pressing sheet. Cricut always puts out videos on how to use their products
I will use butcher paper from now on however the infusible ink is what made the machine dirty not the sublimation
Never had that problem when we have used the infusible ink sheets...their carrier sheet worked as it was supposed to as did the 3 sheets of butcher paper with sublimation ink. It was still a very good review...just giving you an FYI.
Thank you for this video, I just got my Mug Press. and this was very helpful.
Thanks very much for your detailed description of both machines and types of mugs. Very appreciative of your time!
Hi Corinne! Thank you so very much for your complete transparency, I truly appreciate your honest review and I look forward to learning more from your reviews/posts. Many blessings to you & yours!
Latisha
Hi Corinne, I would try a higher heat setting for the infusible ink. I've used infusible ink with silicone wraps and baking in the oven for 15 mins at 400f. Transferred incredibly well.
Thank you! This is what I wanted to know. Why buy the press if it can be done in the oven.
WHAT?
Wait.... You can do this in the oven?
Please tell me more... do you have a video on this way of doing this...
I am very new to this... and need this greatly...
I am in the midst of moving back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) to Re-Open my Acting Studio and want to give each student their own mug... T-shirt etc... (I'm paying for this gift out of my own money... so every penny counts.) If I can do mugs in the oven hopefully with FOIL that would be so great.
Thank YOU for your help.
@@tessmoore3762
YES... That would be a Game Changer.
@@judichristopher4604 There are many videos on doing sublimation in an oven. Usually a convection oven.
@@bethkalina6754
YEA... So Happy to know that.
Thank you Beth...
I know nothing about sublimation or infusible ink for mug transfers and found your video informative on the two products and gave me some direction on what to watch next. Thank you.
Your supposed to use butcher paper around the outside of the cup before you put it in the mug press so it doesn't stain the inside.
All the reviews I have watched doesn’t use any other wrap on top of graphic
If you are using quality paper it won't bleed through, If you are using regular copy paper then yes you need a protector
Hello strangers.
Thank you for your HONEST opinion. Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing. I have a heat press machine that came with 3 additional attachments for mugs and bottles. I was going to purchase the cricut one to go with my Maker, but thank you for saving me the time and money
Loved your video!!! I’ve been waiting for this for weeks!!!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for doing this. My Cricut press is going back because like yours, the edges and bottoms of my darker mugs were always faded. This is my second press as well. Very frustrating. And it’s happening with their mugs and the 15 ounce version. I can work around it by lifting the mugs up a little bit, but the price is too high to have to work around it like that.
What I would like to know is if you were able to do full coverage mugs with the bettersub press and get nice dark coverage throughout.
I still had slight fading at the top and bottom of the mugs on the better sub press but i really think it’s the mugs themselves. If you look they taper just slightly at the top and the bottom
@@CorinneBlackstone If that were the case, I would not get full sublimation at the bottom if I lift the mug up a bit.
Now I am concerned about purchasing the Better press.
@@susanmidlarsky2571 the reason it helps when you lift the mug up is because the Cricut press is like a foam inside so it can squish the taper a bit. The edges are just a slight taper so it’s not anything crazy but you do need to adjust where it sits in either press to help with it. It was only very slight on the better sub press. Nothing a normal person would probably ever notice. I noticed because I was really searching for it
@@CorinneBlackstone I appreciate your time in responding. I thought there was foam on the bettersub as well. It’s noticeable enough to me, and I really want to put out a professional mug.
I didn't check the cost of the Amazon mug press, but the Cricut one is too expensive and has VERY limited use. It might be okay if I were going to make money from the mugs but personal use is out of the question. Just how many mugs can I make for family and friends before everyone is overloaded with them? Cost per mug - enormous!! No thanks.
I agree unless you are going to sell the mug press is super over priced
Great video, it's hard to find this comparison, but I came to the same conclusion you did for sublimation and went with the Bettersub Mug press. Thanks for the great detail and comparisons.
you have two different size mugs the 1 oz is why the 2nd one was tighter
You can get different sized elements for the Mug Press even shot glass size. I think the Cricut is overpriced like all Brand Name Items are. Thank you for the info on the Cricut sub transfer. I have not tried in on a mug yet.
Really? Where can I get different size elements for the Mug Press?
@@chastity2897
I want to know that too... Did you ever find out where we can get different size elements for the mug press? Shot Glass sounds so cute to give away.
You suppose to take the sublimation paper off right when it's finished. Also we use heat tape.
Thanks for the tip. I was following what Cricut told me to do. I used heat tape :)
I'm with you about the tape removal, drives me crazy. lol You did a great job on the comparison test. I received my Cricut Mug Press today so I will be trying mine out tomorrow. I have a regular mug press too so I'm not sure the Cricut is going to be a big improvement. Thank you for this video.
How did the cricut mug press do for you compared to the one you were using?
I think maybe the tape at the bottom or the mug causing the bottom to have less heat and causing the fading. I dont have a press I just use a mug wrap and heat them in the oven and have no issues
i think one of the cons for Cricut is you have to connect to a computer and use Design Space. i don't have a Cricut I have Scan n Cut.
VERY helpful video. Just starting my research into this craft and this video seems like a “one stop shop”. Thanks!
I think the rim at the bottom is the heat resistant tape- and the heat didn't go through the tape
The tape is not heat resistant it is just heat safe. I use it on full wraps to cover the seam and no issues
Love this review! Thank you💜 question... When you use the sublimation paper do you need a sublimation printer and if so, what do you suggest?
Yes you need a sublimation printer and ink and I use an epson its linked in the video description
I just use a bit of heat tape then use masking tape to wrap. It's easy to get off. If there is residue use goo gone.
Thank you so much for the unbiased review and for the comparison that you carried out. I looked at the mug press when it was announced, hubbs and I discussed it and he decided a 5 in 1 was a better option, especially here in Australia, as the cricut mug press does not go on sale here until around November and looking around the $300-$400 Aud mark. The 5 in one cost us $224 aud. Thank you for your honesty :D and have subscribed to your channel. Oh and you have made me more confident to try the mug press I have now. :D
Thank you so much for making this comparison video! It gives me a lot to think about.
Thank you so much for the reviews. Thinking of joining mug craft business and your video made me think of getting myself a cricut press and follow to learn more. Am so new to this field.
There is a lot of cool things you can make with mugs! The color changing mugs are really fun as well. I have a couple more videos using the Cricut Mug Press so be sure to check them out!
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you, sure thing going to check them out so I can learn. Hoping to make some 💰 with time
Wonderfully thorough and thoughtful review!
You should be able to adjust the tension on the mug press
Hello Connie thanks for the honest review on them both I'm trying to figure out witch one I want this was very helpful 🤩
I already have a cricut mugpress and with your link i got the better press for
I found you today because UA-cam put you in my cue! Thank you so much for the awesome unbiased review of these mug press’s. I think it’s butcher or parchment paper that you need to put around your cups would stop your sublimation ink from staining the inside of your Cricut Mug press. Thank you so much for the information of the printer you use for your sublimation ink, as well. I think I might be interested in doing sublimation.😺
I'm so glad you found the video. The bleed wasn't from the cup itself but above it where the gases were releasing.
So basically there’s more flexibility with the Amazon press because the Cricut only does infusible ink well but if your fiddle with the settings, the Amazon press can do both infusible and sublimation mugs.
No the Cricut mug press does sublimation just fine as well. The Amazon mug press is a little more flexible in sizing and easier to do tumblers with. but I like the cricut mug press ok its just expensive.
Love your review. Thank you. And thank you about the printer. I have been wanting to buy one just for sub and I think I like yours better then the ecotank one. Their the same price but yours seems to print and press better then the other.
Isn't the one she linked to this video and ECOTank? Just asking because I want to get one.
@@jeannegrady780 it is an ecotank but this one works and prints better than the ecotank ET-2760. It's also cheaper in prince by $60 near me. I can get this one $239 instead of $299.
I have the 4700 but any eco tank will work. I think either has the same quality I just got the 4700 because it was only $230 on sale at Target when I got it
You did a great, super comprehensive comparison for the products, thank you so much for doing this! Reviews like this enable more confident purchasing.
To keep your press from getting blow off Cricut recommends butcher paper to protect your press. This is true for your Amazon press as well
Only if you are use the pens or markers
@@angeladaniel209 They are not going to include sublimation in that recommendation because they don’t offer it. I do agree with @Lynne Carter Love.
@@bellebereznay8845 I was stating what Cricut recommend when to use butcher paper because it’s not necessary when using Infusible Ink. I do agree using butcher paper with sublimation ink. I guess it depends on how you read/ understood what Lynne was saying about what Cricut recommendation. Thanks
@@angeladaniel209 Gotcha.
Butcher paper with no wax or coating? Is this right? Or does it matter? Thanks
Thanks for your bias opinion
Your were both helpful and took much time to explore both . Again thanks
I would like to say.
The big press you are using.
You was over pressuring.
It Needs to have light pressure.
If you struggle to push the handle down its to tight.
Btw, I just clicked on your link to for the Better Sub machine on Amazon. And it is currently priced at $119.99. It's out of stock right now. But the info states it will be back in stock on March 21st.
This is an awesome review. I don't really have a use for this type of machine just yet. I'm still in the 'intermediate' stages of learning my Cricut Explore Air 2. 😊 But it's nice to know a little bit about both of mug machines in case I decide to get one down the road.
Thank you!
Awesome! I’m glad the price dropped!
Thank you very much for such an excellent explanation. I have a machine from another brand and for now I am not going to buy the Cricut
Thanks for the video. 6 mintues is way too long to make 1 mug. Time is money! Cheaply made, and not sturdy enough. It's cute, that's it. Amazon colors are more crisp!
@@UCYlVANZaK92YZY293cYW-gA I mentioned I was going to try the mug sublimation in an inexpensive convection oven with the mug wrap. I just did it and it was so easy. I didn't go too mad with all the tape because the silicone wrap was going to hold it tight. Except for a wee lilttle weeding mistake that no one but me will notice, it turned out perfectly, and was very easy to do. I was nervous because so many people were a bit over the top about being careful, but it really was not bad at all.
Question... you know how the Cricut mug project in Design Space has 2 layers - the color layer and the cut for the transfer tape backing? The cricut goes around that second layer twice and cuts it completely through. Do you know how they did that? It just looks like a regular cut line. I was thinking it would be handy to do that sometimes when cutting out multiple items. Maybe there are two cut lines welded together?
It’s doubled up. You can duplicate a layer line them up and attach them and it will cut that twice
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks! I'll try that next time I I feel like it will help me.
Excuse me, at around 13:22 you said that there were some spots that you "missed weeding"? What did you mean by that? And sorry if I misunderstood that, I'm not a native English speaker. Thanks in advance!😊
Weeding means removing parts of the design you don’t want pressed
I have the heat press it does 15 oz mugs too
love the design with Disney characters
So helpful! Thank you for investing your time and money so we can all learn
I have cricut mug press love it I think if you would have put butcher paper around designs it would have come out better I like sublimation better on the mugs
When this video came out I followed the directions provided by Cricut so that no one could say I changed anything. That's why no butcher paper was used and so much tape was used. However now I absolutely always use butcher paper but the reason butcher paper is used is to protect your press from any of the ink blow out. it doesn't do anything for the sublimation itself.
That is nice but cricut is price high in material I have cricut Joy and the materials is expensive.
We don’t use cricut materials on this channel. That stuff is over priced junk
Thanks Corinne for taking the time (and materials) to do this video for us. It was a great video and had lots of info and a great comparison for the machines. I do think the Cricut press would be ok if the price wasn't so high! I do like the other press though. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for an honest review. You are appreciated 💛
Thank you for your sweet comment!
Great review! Very helpful :) Thank you!
Thank you so much! Very good review
I am so conflicted even with all of these great points lol! I don’t love how much the Cricut costs or how limiting it technically is, but I’ve watched tutorials on other blanks that can be used. I love the price point on the clamp press, but not the size and clunkiness of it 😕 I have four kids running around all day so I feel like I’d have to only use it in my carport to be able to use it without being anxious lol. I think I’m leaning toward the Cricut 🤔
I honestly think for you the Cricut press while pricey is the way to go. It feels much safer with kids or pets running around it did not make my room as hot and it defiantly works. It works with lots of sizes too which the other one didn’t
Thank you so much for your input! Sometimes saving money isn’t worth it when safety is a concern!
@@CorinneBlackstone
That is good to know too... I will have this at my Acting Studio (with kids around)... so thank you for mentioning that...
@@haleyscho
EXACTLY
@@judichristopher4604 with children around 100% the cricut one. Obviously still don’t let them play with it but it’s only really hot inside the blue part the outside stays warm but not warm to hurt you
The cricket mug press only work well with infusible inks
No. I use it for sublimation all the time. I hate infusible ink.
Hi Corinne! I really enjoyed your video. I am nee to sublimation and inquired with Epson directly about a sublimation printer. They have the F170. Are you using sublimation ink in place of the printer's supplied ink as a conversion? Thanks in advance. FYI..the Epson F170 is on back order for 6 months and really want to get started 😁
Yes I converted my printer. I have a video all about how I did it
I'll be completely honest...cheaper isn't always better. I 3d print all and I've seen so many people complain when they bought cheap and got the results of that. Is cricut trying to gate keep? Most definitely. Will that bite them in the rear? Maybe. Especially if like other companies they fail to change as other companies make a similar product with similar or better results for less. But again the idea is "you get what you pay for" is in play here. Cricut made something simple (possibly to simple) but it is user friendly
Really appreciated all of the information. Great review. I am not a fan of the infusible inks, so good to know that it really is the best media for that machine, and other media not so great. Saved me $199!!
btw i read comments and joined Auntietay. another great tip!
Fabulous review👍😍👍😍. I have been considering getting a mug press, won’t be buying one, since I would want to due sublimation, would be quite an investment to get started. I really appreciate the thoroughness of your review, likely the best review I have ever watched 👍🤓
Just FYI you can design your sublimation designs and send to multiple folks on etsy to print and ship to you. (If you do not want to invest in a sublimation printer)
Don't you think a truer test would have been to use the Amazon press for the time and temp as suggested for sublimation not for Infusible ink. Overall it was a good video.
I did use it at the setting suggested for sublimation
Fantastic review. Thanks for the comparison.
It doesn't bode well for the manufacturers confidence in the product when they send spare fuses.
Thank you; this was very helpful and thorough. Immediately subd after watching first 2 mins; you gave a very honest and helpful review
Loved the Revview.. I have to wonder though if the infusible ink in the better sub press would have worked better if you had used the cricut timing and if you had centered the mug and not had at edge of press Just curious. The Cricut mug press looks much simpler to use but the can not be used for anything other mugs no bigger than the 15 oz size .. Does the Better sub press have an option to purchase other pressing sleeves? looks as if they can be changed like on other presses.
Oh can buy other sleeves but they are very expensive
