I am looking for the latest Canon printer that can be used with edible ink/paper. One suggested on KopyKake is the Canon MG5320. But when I search for it, I keep getting the MG5420. Is the MG5420 the upgrade from the MG5320? If so, can the MG5420 be used with edible ink used in the MG5320?

Try walmart.com

What is happening is that this is a technological gap. The newest printers have new chip technology that the cartridge manufactures for edible inks (all companies) have not caught up to. So the older printers are becoming scarce which is driving prices up and supply is way down. I did see some at walmart.com for cheap so go get them while they are still in stock...if they are.  The only one that is still out there is the canon MG5320 the ip4920 prices are very high.  We still have both products in stock, but if you are not looking to get them from an edible printing company, than try Walmart online.
