MrsMissey, I looked at your gallery the other day and see you're very fond of edible images! They look fantastic! I did my first one the other day...it was the USMC logo placed on a cake that was frosted with snow white buttercream (crisco, water, powdered sugar, extracts) and after it had been on the cake for a couple of hours, it began to wrinkle/bubble, although it was smooth and completely dry (both the image and the cake) when it went on. Have you encountered this problem, and if so, what advice do you have? I have a spare, unused ip3000 printer and would like to order the wafer paper and edible ink cartridges, but if all my images wrinkle, I'm not going to bother. Help?
Thanks,
Sherri
Thanks Cakepro...I am a huge fan of edible images and so are my customers!
..that's true...I use frosting/icing sheets! I pefer either Lucks brand or Icing Images brand...the Icing Images brand is a little "thicker" and that seems to work the best for me. 
Well, I said wafer paper but the image was super thin and tore very easily. It was very firmly attached to a piece of paper that was like what stickers are stuck to...and it was a bear to work it off. It came from a bakery that does a ton of edible images.
Where do you order Icing Images sheets? What's the best place price-wise for ordering the inks and paper?
Thanks for your help, girls. 
Thanks!
Sherri
How "mandatory" is the cleaning cartridges set?
Also, will any image program work? I have Paintshop Pro 8.0 but don't know how to use it! LOL
I would love to be able to cut and paste heads into images.
From my description, which image paper do you think the bakery used on my USMC logo? Any other thoughts on the wrinkling problem?
Thanks bunches!!
Any good image editing program will work but they do take some time to learn how to use.
www.photofiltre.com is a good, free one you could also try.
The cleaning cartridges are a really good thing to have to prevent clogs and clear them.
The quality of frosting/icing sheets and inks will vary from place to place and maker to maker. It sounds like the frosting/icing sheets you used were an off brand probably purchased in bulk. This is the "house brand" you'll hear about at a lot of sites who don't make the sheets. They buy them in bulk and resell them. I've since heard from Debbie that the house brand at Icing Images has improved. You can also request Luck's brand from Icing Images which is better quality.
I like buying Kopykake brand because of the quality of the inks and papers. They work the best for me.
Are you sure they sent you Lucks brand? The ones I used were sealed in the foil Lucks pack. They were good quality...not too thick, clean edges. They're actually rated "best of class." I wouldn't agree with that but they're 2nd best in my book Kopykake brand are thicker than the Lucks which I also like. They'll take in more ink too which leads to better image quality. You should try them sometime.
MrsMissey is right too. The wrinkling and tearing may not have had anything to do with the quality of the frosting/icing sheet. If you use them on an icing that has a high water content like whipped cream, they can wrinkle or begin to deteriorate. Also once they're on the cake, they soak into the icing so if the cake flexes, so does the image causing wrinkles. Tearing when you try to remove them from the backing sheet could just be a result of the sheet not having dried enough to peel easily.
