best edible printer??? - Page 2

Hi Debbie

I m looking to buy a good quality edible printer. Have any new ones come in the market that are better than the 2 Canons you mentioned? Also which sheets are better. I have seen some cakes with a paper like look. It doesn't look like the sheet dissolved on to the cake. Other cakes look flawless. How do I get the right sheets. The inks too, sometimes they taste bitter (like food coloring) and on other cakes they taste great. So what kind of ink tastes good and looks vibrant? Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions but there is so much information out there and I wasn't sure which source was reliable.

Thanks in advance for your help icon_smile.gif

Hi There
The Canons that I would recommend are the Canon MG5320 and the ip3600
The MG 5320 is my favored printer, but both produce excellent quality.
Paper, we sell three brands and the favorite by far is our Premium. It features edge to edge printing, it tastes good and is the flexible icing sheet. If you email sales@icingimages.com they can send you a sample. It also comes in colors for electronic cutting and we have a new Pearl Luster Sheet for printing and cutting. IT is absolutely beautiful and flys off our shelves!
Inks do differ. If you can taste the ink then you are putting too much on the page and your settings are off. No one has ever told us that the Icing Images inks taste funny. Our cartridges are different then other brands. They do not have a sponge inside the cartridge. We found that we get almost twice as many prints as the sponged cartridges which makes a big difference on the wallet.
While I am the owner of the company, and yes, I am biased, but I am the person in the company who is constantly testing my inks as well as competitors. I can tell you that our products were used by Marsha and Roland Winbeckler on the ICES Show cake.
I will be glad to answer any questions for you honestly and will take as many questions for you as you need.

Hi Debbie
I recently just purchased a canon mg5320 and am wondering if you could tell me what's the best settings to use for printing, I have it set to plain paper. My problem is everything is coming out just a tad darker than the original images. I did manage to lighten and brighten a little this morning by using auto corrections in office before printing I also have it set to borderless printing.
Thanks in advance

Hi Debbie

I bought the MG5320. I also bought the premium icing sheets from your website. But i am having trouble with the prints.

1. I see parallel wheel marks on the printout. As if the rollers are digging into the sheet. Could it be that the premium sheets are too thick for this machine?

2. Also there is a lot of shadowing. Like overlapping of color. if i have a pink color and black in the picture. the black gets transferred over to the pink. and it looks dull and dirty.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks icon_smile.gif

Hi!
Yes I do know what is wrong, your settings are incorrect! They are set up too high and the color is getting transferred. For easy reference if you go on our website and sign in to your account, you will have access to our support section which has everything you want and more! But my first guess is that you have the paper settings and print quality incorrectly set. Also, you probably do not have the paper abrasion feature set. FOr complete instructions you can go to our website as listed above, but for quick answer, change your paper type to Matte and your print quality should be at standard. Go in to your maintenance sections and the last button is custom settings. There you will find a selection for paper abrasion. You want that selected. That should take care of all your problems!

That is great to hear. You may have a build up of ink on your rollers because you have had the wrong settings. If you look back in to the trouble shooting section, we have a document on cleaning the rollers. Or..try drying out your rollers using a can of air spraying directly on the rollers where the paper comes out of the printer (both inside and outside of the printer). Or just try running paper through by going to word, typing in any word and printing out a bunch of sheets to allow the paper to clean out any wet ink on the rollers. Keep in touch!

Debbie you sound simply AMAZING!! We have one cake supply store locally that I've been purchasing from and I LOVE the owners, hate the one full time help! So rude to my kids and I that I now am looking into buying an edible ink printer. I've contemplated this for months as I've only been doing cakes about a year but recently started full timing it! I am so impressed with your knowledge, referrals, and willingness to help I wish I could afford to purchase my printer direct from you, but sadly I simply cannot afford to 😢, lol! My question is if I can find either Cannon ones you recommend in my budget (eek) then can I still call for tech support if I'm purchasing my paper and ink supplies through you? I know you cannot warranty my printer but just still crave this exceptional Debbie service everyone raves about. It truly makes this more fun to have knowledgable customer service who don't make you feel like a waste of their time!!
