I have a canon Pixma ip 4200, which I bought off of circuitcity.com. I got the edible stuff from kopykake.com. I love it, but the only problem is I get clogs so I have to steam clean the print head often. Really not a big issue as it insured a clear image each time and I use it infrequently. You can always contact the people at kopykake.com and they usually will help you out.

I have the canon ip6000d and I love it.. great quality pic's

I get my frosting sheets from kopykake, but I get my ink from tastyfotoart.com

I have never had a problem with clogging and with using tatsyfotoart you don't need to buy any cleaning cartridges so it is much cheaper


whatever printer you decide on, just make sure it is new and never used

best of luck...

I'm happy this came up! I'm looking for a printer too and have done a little research. The only think I found is you definately want a Cannon so you can have separate ink.

I use an Epson c88+ and go through about 2 packs of sheets a month. I have never had any clogging or any other problems. You do have to get a $15 cartridge resetter chip though.
