What type of printer do you have for your edible images??
Have been researching and in the process of buying a printer for edible images. I was looking at the Canon ip6700D, but not sure if it will work. I saw a site about watching the new printers, they have a micro chip in the ink cartridges and you can't use them. ????? Please Help.
I have a canon mp750. I get my supplies from http://www.icingimages.com/. But, now that I know the icing sheets can be purchased at Sam's.. I'll get those from there and just continue to purchase my cartridges from them.
Suebee, there was another thread started a few days ago informing us that sam's club will sell amost anything that they use in the bakery...

I use the EpsonCX3810 and get my supplies from Kopykake.
I am looking for frosting sheets that have squares. The only shpaes I can find are circles and rectangles.
What about an all in one type. Where you can use the "copier" independant of a computer anyone have anyfeed back onthat type.
I use the Canon PIXMA 3000. It works pretty well. The only thing I find is that when I print black people, I have to lighten the pictures so that the faces don't come out as black blobs. I get the icing and cartridges from icing images as well. They work pretty good. Just a FYI... I went to Sam's yesterday and asked about purchasing boxes and flower sprays. The ladies looked at me like I was crazy. I finally asked for the bakery manager. She wasn't in so I will call her tomorrow.

Which one do you use? Does it work well?
I'm not new to cake decorating (25 years), but I am new to this site BTW (it's awesome)! as far as using a printer to print edible images can you use a regular printer and just use it for the edible images or do the cartridges only fit the printers specifically for edible images.
coldtropics, i have a canon pixma mp750 and I really love it.. it uses six cartridges though... i purchased mine fron canon.com.. because i couldn't find it in a store and it was much cheaper to purchase it seperate thatn buying the package on http://www.icingimages.com/. and other websites.
jibbies, yes , if the cartidges will fit, you can use any new printer (canon or epson) there is a list her on cc and i believe on the site i previously mentioned.
good luck on your search... I'm sure that ypu'll find the one that's right for you.
Thanks everybody. I had no idea you could buy equipment from Sams. I have a club card and go all the time. I also go to BJ's warehouse that is where you can still get regular Crisco. We were looking at a new Canon model and I read a post that the new printers have a mirco chip in the inks??
