I just bought an epson printer at target for 39.99 plus tax!!! I have been searching posts because someone posted that they have one and I am trying to figure out which ink cartridges will work. Please let me know asap b/c dh is willing to buy me the stuff today! but who knows if his offer will stand tomorrow! lol ( he is going on a golf trip with friends so I think he feels a little guilty!) |

I have the epson cx 7400. don't know what the difference is, though. I get my ink at kopykakes. if you go to that site it will tell you what will fit for that printer. hth |

I was interested in buying a printer for edible images. Can any new printer be used for this as long as the ink is edible and you print on rice papar?
Sorry to hijack but this has been a quesiton on my mind for a while.
Thank you for any informaiton!!  |

Yes and no. I say this because edible ink cartridges are NOT available for every printer make and model. So you're better off looking at edible ink availability, and THEN choosing your printer.
Good luck!!! |

I boight one of these also but it was for the office. The CX7450 takes #69 or #88 ink catridges and the edible ink cartirdges are 60's. You can call the KopyKake people and ask (I'd like to know for future reference) but I doubt the 60s are compatible. The C88 is the only model listed in the Epson website for inks and it takes 60s. |

Hold the phone. I poked around on the kopykake website and found a pdf with lists of printers and the CX7400 are there and show the 69 ink cartidge number but it looks like you need to buy a chip resetter too.

I would LOVE to get an edible ink printer, but don't you have to use it at least once a week so the ink doesn't clog??? Anyone know for sure? |

I have had the Epson CX7450 for nearly a year now (LOVE IT) and it takes the following edible ink cartridges from KopyKake:
Individual Colors:
ITEM#TO692-C (Cyan)
ITEM#TO694-Y Yellow)
ITEM#TO691-B (Black)
ITEM#TO693-M (Magenta)
Or, the entire set of the above four cartridges is ITEM#TO695SET (for Epson CX6000)
I have never had the chip resetter and have never needed it. Not sure what it's for. Others have said they're necessary in order for your printer to know what the color levels are on the cartridges....but that's not important for me (I have a refill set as backup). I have rec'd a message that the ink is low or out....but you just snap the cartridge out of it's holder in the printer and snap it back down and it's off and running again! I've never had a clog and have let it set unused for up to a month with no problems!
I HIGHLY recommend this particular printer! Also, I've never printed on rice paper...only sugar sheets. Has anyone else printed on rice paper? The kind I can get it pretty thick and rigid and I wouldn't think that would work too well? Anyone? |

I also have an epson that sits for months at a time and it has never clogged on me, unlike the canons. You can also purchase refillable cartridges on ebay that don't require a chip resetter and refilling saves a lot on ink. |
