Updated Question: Which Edible Printer Is Better 2016?
Decorating By lyteizs Updated 8 Nov 2016 , 3:31am by icingimages
Hope I get some quick responses. I suddenly got slammed with picture cakes and it is cheaper to buy a printer and print them myself vs. having them made for me and I put on my cakes.
I have orders I have to fill this week, which printers are best? I saw a forum about this, but the posts were old and I was wondering if there are newer printers that are great.
Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks!!!
Hi Lyteizs:
I am so happy to help you! I am writing this in November 2016 so in the future as people read this, they know the the period of time. Generally, new printers hit the market about every 2 years. Even though printers may come in to the marketplace every year we often times do not offer it as a spotlight printer that we sell. Usually, this does not affect the edible industry all that much until they revamp the printer or add something that is new to the industry. For example, the first change Canon made was about 14 years ago and they went from a 2 cartridge setup to a 4 cartridge setup. This was a good change, but it meant new cartridges entered the industry. Approximately 5 years ago, they cartridge then had a chip added to it. The edible market had to also come up with compatible cartridges at that point, so we held on to the older printer until the newer cartridges for edible printing became available. So, all that being said, here is my take on today's market!!!
In the edible world, there are not that many printers that are available to you. You have the Canon vs the Epson. Canon, hands down, there is no comparison if you are using quality products. Canon's latest switch made it so the paper has to do a 180 degree turn in the printer. For Icing Images, this was not a problem because the Premium Icing Sheets are a high quality icing sheet and it can withstand the turn without any breakage or having the icing sheet fall off the backing. The Premium Icing Sheets are flexible and resilient making them so popular. So while some companies had to switch printer brands at this point because their icing sheets could not handle that turn, we did not and we could take the full advantage of the Canon printers. The reason we choose to stay with Canon, as we tried Epson, Epson printers do not have a removable printhead, so if you get a clog in your printer, you have to use an after market contraption to clean the printhead in the printer. This involves water inside your printer, not a good idea!!! The Canon removable printhead allows for easy cleaning outside of the printer.
Keep
in mind, most people think that its the printer that makes you
successful at edible printing, to some degree that is true, but
realistically, its the ink. The edible ink is what will make or break
your success in edible printing. If you have an ink that continuously
clogs your printer, and some inks clog worse then others, or there is
too much alcohol in your inks causing premature printhead burnout, THE
INK, is at the root of the success or failure.
That being
said, we recommend strongly the Canon Printer and we recommend choosing a
good quality edible ink and icing sheet such as what is sold at Icing
Images. As the owner of the business, we strive to reduce problem areas
for our customers. It is our goal to keep you printing as much as
possible without problems!
So the best printers in my
opinion currently as of November 2016, are the Canon Mg6820 for a
printer that prints all the sizes except the A3, and for every size
edible paper on the market it would be the Canon ix6820.
I
hope I was able to answer your questions, Please feel free to ask more
as I am sure if you have a question, someone else does too! Thanks so
much and happy printing
