What is an edible printer? 

An edible printer is a specialised inkjet printer used with food-safe edible ink and edible paper to print images that can be placed on cakes and other desserts. Edible printers print onto materials such as icing sheets, wafer paper, and chocolate transfer sheets to create edible cake toppers, photos, logos, and decorations.

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 printer for edible images for drinks and cocktails?

Canon PIXMA printers are most-recommended for edible printing because they produce high-resolution images and have rear paper feeding, which helps handle delicate edible paper like wafer paper more reliably. Canon edible printers also have removeable print heads which make cleaning and maintenance easy, which is important when working with edible ink.

The Canon TS705A edible printer is one of the best options for printing cocktail toppers and other edible images in the UK. It prints high-quality edible images on icing sheets, wafer paper, and chocolate transfers, and works with CMYK edible ink cartridges for vibrant, professional results.

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 which are all compatible with Canon edible printers.

What is the best edible paper for drink toppers and cocktail toppers?

The best edible paper for drink and cocktail toppers is wafer paper (also known as rice paper), specifically high-quality, thinner varieties (0.3mm - 0.4mm). Made from potato starch, water, and oil, wafer paper is ideal for drink toppers because it floats on foam or liquids without immediately dissolving, is flavorless, and prints clearly.

For longer lastine toppers for non-foam drinks, or for clipping to the side of glasses as an edible garnish, a thicker wafer card (0.6mm) may be more suitable.

Are edible printers easy to maintain?

Yes! The Canon TS705a Edible Printer is easy to clean and maintain. 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 refillable edible ink cartridges or pre-filled edible ink cartridges. Our refillable option comes with a full set of edible inks and filling syringes and needles for set-up and refilling once empty. The pre-filled cartridges come ready to insert and use in your edible printer. Once empty, pre-filled cartridges will need to be replaced. If you choose the pre-filled option to begin with, you can always switch to refillable cartridges further down the line!

If you’re new to edible printing, the easiest way to get started is with pre-filled edible ink cartridges. They are perfect for beginners and occasional bakers who want vibrant, photo-quality results straight away.

Once you feel confident and plan to print regularly, you might consider refillable edible ink cartridges. These allow you to top up individual colours, save money on ink over time, and print more frequently without constantly buying new cartridges.

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.
