How to Use an Edible Printer: A Beginner’s Guide for Stunning Cake Designs
🎨 Mastering the Art of Edible Printing: A Beginner’s Guide
If you’re a home baker, cake artist, or bakery owner looking to take your creations to the next level, an edible printer might just be your new favorite tool. At Betters®, we specialize in edible printer bundles and Canon-compatible edible ink that transform ordinary desserts into stunning edible masterpieces.
What Is an Edible Printer?
An edible printer is a standard inkjet printer modified to use food-safe edible ink. Instead of traditional ink, it prints using specially formulated colors that are safe to consume. When paired with frosting sheets or wafer paper, you can print anything—from custom cake toppers to full-photo cakes.
Getting Started with Edible Printing

Choose the Right Printer: Our Betters® Edible Printer Bundle includes everything you need—Canon-compatible printer, edible ink for Canon, refillable cartridges, and frosting sheets.
-
Install and Prime: Setup is easy. Insert the cartridges, run a test print, and you're ready to go!
-
Use High-Quality Images: Make sure your files are high-resolution (300dpi recommended) for the best print results.
-
Print and Dry: Print your design onto a frosting sheet, let it dry for a few minutes, then carefully apply it to your cake.
Pro Tips for Perfect Prints
-
Avoid Clogging: Print weekly to keep the nozzles clean.
-
Use Edible Ink Refills: Our edible ink refill sets are cost-effective and keep your colors vibrant without replacing entire cartridges.
