What is an A3 edible printer?

An A3 edible printer prints professional edible images on larger sheets (up to A3 size) with food-safe edible ink using inkjet technology. Perfect for bakeries and catering businesses producing high volumes of cake toppers, cocktail toppers, or other large edible designs.

How does an edible printer work? 

Edible printers use exactly the same technology as regular office inkjet printers, but uses food-safe edible ink and edible papers such as icing sheets, wafer paper or chocolate transfer sheets. Simply choose your design, load your edible paper and send to the printer to print directly onto your edible sheet! The Canon TS705a Edible Printer can connect to your computer, tablet or smartphone via WiFi, meaning you can print anywhere!

What is the best edible printer for producing high-volumes of edible prints?

The Canon iX6850 Edible Printer is recognised as the best edible primer for large-scale edible printing and commercial bakeries looking to print high-volumes of edible toppers. Capable of printing on larger A3-size edible paper and pre-cut icing sheets, the Canon iX6850 is the perfect choice for cost-effective and efficient edible printing.

What edible paper can you use in an edible printer?

Edible printers can print on several types of edible paper, including:

• Icing sheets (frosting sheets) - best for photo-quality edible prints for cakes and other sweet bakes
• Wafer paper (rice paper) - ideal for lightweight decorations for cakes, bakes and even savoury foods like breads and pies
• Chocolate transfer sheets - used for decorating chocolates with custom patterns, branding and photos

Icing sheets are the most popular option for printing edible cake toppers. EPS stock a range of edible paper types in A5, A4 and A3 size which are all compatible with the Canon iX6850 edible printer.

Are edible printers easy to maintain?

Yes! The Canon iX6850 Edible Printer is easy to clean and maintain due to the removable print head. EPS provide full instructions on the easiest way to keep your edible printer running smoothly and offer Edible Printer Maintenance & Cleaning Kits for easy upkeep and a longer printer lifespan.

Can I just use edible inks in my normal printer?

No, you should never use a normal office printer which has previously been used with regular non-edible ink. Even with cleaning, residual ink can remain in the print head which could be harmful for health, so only brand new printers which have never been used are suitable for use with edible inks and papers to ensure food-safety.

Which cartridges should I choose for my edible printer - pre-filled or refillable?

All EPS edible printer kits come with a choice of pre-filled or refillable edible ink cartridges.

Pre-filled cartridges come ready to insert and use, making them ideal for high-volume operations or businesses with tight deadlines. They allow you to start printing large quantities of edible images immediately without setup or refilling, helping maintain efficiency during busy periods. Once empty, pre-filled cartridges are simply replaced.

Refillable cartridges are a more cost-effective option for businesses printing frequently or in higher volumes. They let you top up individual colours as needed, helping you reduce ink costs over time and print more regularly without constantly buying new cartridges.

If you start with pre-filled cartridges, you can always switch to refillable cartridges later as your printing needs grow.

Do I need a specific software for designing edible images and printing with an Edible Printer?

No. The only software required to connect and run your edible printer is the Canon driver and software package - full instructions on how to set these up are included in the box. For designing your images to print, there is no specific software required. You can print from any programme you are familiar with, our voice would be Canva for the largest range of easy-to-use editing settings and tools.
