Edible images are my personal favorite! Here is a link to the articles that Lisa (one of our Mods) put together! Lots of helpful info.

For me, I get all my stuff from www.icingimages.com ..you might want to check out their website for more info. HTH! icon_smile.gif

I am not an expert, but I bought the epson c88+ at Staples for 79.99 w/$15 rebate. The ink cartridges and icing sheets came from kopykake.com. I have the circles and sheets. I have had good results. This is hubby's b-day cake. (1st cake ever decorated)

kimkait-

Glad to hear you are having good luck with that printer and that brand of icing sheets, as that was the way I was thinking of going. Your cake looks great by the way!

There should be a sub-menu on the left listing matching categories. Click on 'printers' and then it will just show the printers for sale. Here is what I just found:

Wanted to offer an opinion as well.....I use a canon pixma ip 4200 for my images. I got it off of circuitcity.com a couple of months ago. I use kopykake.com for my supplies. The only suggestion I have with it is to purchase a household steamer cleaner (one that sprays a good water steam) because my printerhead gets clogged a lot. Otherwise, I like my printer. kopykake.com has some inforamtion on that as well. Good Luck!

I have the epson cx4200 which is a copier/scanner/printer and I love it. I got it on ebay (new) for under $70. I also get my supplies from Kopykake.
