Could I just buy edible paper and edible ink and use my own printer at home, its a Hp printer? Thanks Dana
No... you need a dedicated printer for edible images otherwise you risk cross-contamination from the non-edible ink residue left on your home printer. Also I think edible cartridges are only available for Canon and Epson printers at the moment (as far as I have seen anyway).
I concidered buying one until the dealer told me that if I don't print at least 10 edible images a week it will get dried & clogged up and be a problem everytime I need to use it. So, now I just have a friend who owns one print them.
the manuf. told me I could store my ink cartridges in a zip lock bag and that would prolong the life

I have an epson and it sits for months without being used and it has "never" clogged on me (knock on wood). I have read numerous threads about the canon [rinters clogging if not used weekly though.
I second that on the Epson. No clogs. I might do a photo every few weeks to a month. I also do not keep it anywhere near the baking action. It is in a separate area well away from airbrush colors, hot ovens and spray pan release.
Okay...I am really thinking of getting an epson now!!! Yay, no more paying someone to make them. Thanks for the info.
"Cakequeen50" ...I don't understand this part..." I also do not keep it anywhere near the baking action. It is in a separate area well away from airbrush color, hot ovens and spray pan release."
I think she is saying by doing this there is no chance for spray, heat, paint or anything else to get into it and cause problems. Basically, she keeps it in a clean environment.
