Has anyone attempted to cut icing sheets? I ordered the 8x11 sheets, and was wondering if I could use them for more than one image by printing multiple pics and then cutting them to separate them.
anyone done this?
I've only cut them in two, making two sheets 8.5 X 5.5. Haven't tried anything smaller. You can also print on the top portion of the sheet, then flip it around and you've got a new "top" which you can print on as well. They feed through my printer just fine when they're cut in half. I really can't imagine that smaller would be a problem, either. On my printher, the really BIG deal seems to be getting the paper guide snugged right up next to the paper. If there's any "play" at all, the paper feeds wonky and I get jams. So, for me, as long as I adjust the feed right, I think smaller pieces would work, too.
Great! Thanks for the replies! Guess I'll just have to experiment. I really didn't want to mess any of the icing sheets up, cuz they are so expensive, so it helps to know that others have done it!
I would love to try the icing sheets to put pictures on cookies. I know nothing about them except what I have seen. Is this the same as a Copy Jet? do you need to invest a lot of many to do this?

No. The initial investment is actually really low. You can get a great printer for $50-$100. Right now the best choice is the Canon iP3000 or any other compatible 4 cartridge Canon printer. The iP1500 (2 cartridge) is also a good choice but only if you plan to refill your cartridges.
After purchasing your new printer, you'll need a form of edible paper (frosting sheets are best) and compatible edible ink cartridges. You can find those at several online retailers. I buy mine from www.kopykake.com or www.sugarcraft.com
The total start-up cost for me was about $110.
Lisa...why the reference to refilling cartridges for the ip1500? I don't understand why this particular printer cartridges should be refilled. Can you shed some light on that?
Thanks!

Hi Suzette 
It's a 2 cartridge printer and all 2 cartridge printers will use one black cartridge and one tricolor cartridge (cyan, magenta, yellow). The problem with this is that if you don't refill the tricolor cartridge, it would have to be replaced whenever just one color runs out.
