Edible Images And Equipment Needed
Decorating By CakesbyJam Updated 2 Jul 2007 , 12:06am by CakesbyJam
I would like to invest in a printer/scanner for edible images etc. Is one printer/scanner better than another? I have been on Kopykake website..but am confused on printer/scanner. I would like to get a compact unit. I have an HP printer scanner but don't want to have to be changing cartridges all the time..does anyone else use their personal printer/scanner and change cartridges? Is it a problem?
Thanks!!!!
I use a cannon printer (specially bought for edible images) it was cheaper than the ones specially designed for edibles...(got it for like $50.00 online at amazon ) works like a charm. I would NEVER ,EVER use a home printer that was for other use for my edible images...I treat that as I would any facet of cooking. My edible image printer is a piece of kitchen equipment. Not sure but also afraid if you COULD interchange them you would get trace amounts of regular ink in your stuff...not sure , just doesnt seem like a good idea.
you cant use your house printer for your edible images. They need to be 2 different printers. I thaught the same thing but from reading poste here they are not interchangable. Im looking into a cake copy system also and would like to know which one is best.
This link from Kopykake lists Epson and Canon printer models that are compatible with edible ink tanks: http://kopykake.com/documents/PrinterInks-Xref.pdf
You can use your HP scanner to scan the images into your PC and use a new Epson/Canon printer with edible ink to print the images.
