Hi all,

 

I'm kind of a newbie to the world of cake decorating. I'm 28 years old with a 6 month old baby boy, so I don't have a lot of money to burn. Actually getting into this as a way to make some extra money. Been doing some research on edible printers, and figured out that you cannot use a printer that's had normal ink ran through it. This make sense! What I want to know is can I just replace the printerhead and the printer be "like new"?

 

Thanks!

If you don't do a lot of edible images...the edible ink dries out quick.  I would suggest you get them printed from a local bakery or grocery store and include that price into your price.  Around here, the cost is $10.  I would make some phone calls to see who does it in your area and what they charge.

 

And edible cartridges are only compatible with certain printers.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping I could find an canon ip3600 and just replace the printerhead.
