Hi, in my photos on the breakdance cake i used wafer paper for the graffitti on the walls and on the card cupcakes i used edible icing sheets that i put onto some thicker fondant. If i had a choice i would choose the icing sheet as i had problems with getting the wafer paper to stick. Wafer paper is an edible paper. Edible image sheets are a very thin layer of icing. Hope this helps.
I'm assuming that by edible image paper you mean frosting sheets. Frosting sheets are more expensive, but blend nicely into the frosting. If you are printing photos, you definitely want to use the frosting sheets.
Wafer paper is much more thick and coarse. Wafer paper does not blend as nicely into the cake's frosting. It also does not pride as sharp of an image as the frosting sheets do. I use wafer paper for graphics on cookies and cakes where the color and sharpness don't have to be an exact match.
The cakes in my gallery are all with frosting sheets, except the MLK cake that my kids did. That's wafer paper.
