Food printer/edible image

Hello!
Can you guys help? I’m in the market for a new food printer. The one I currently have is terrible. Well, the printer itself is good, but I’ve always used Kopycake ink, and it’s always globbing up and clogging the printer head. Any suggestions on your favorite brand of edible ink tanks? Thanks so much!

I have had really good luck with InkEdibles cartridges. I had 2 Epsons before I finally bought a Canon. It has worked much better for me, but that might be in part because I print a test page with all 4 colors once a week. I think with the special ink that leaving these printers sitting unused for even a short time will cause the jets to clog. In the rare case when I get a small clog I use vodka in a syringe to flush the jets. Hope this helps a little!

Hi Brandi, I have a Canon and it has never given me a days problem.
They do advise you print something every week so that it does not clog up, but I have gone many weeks without printing and it is still fine.
When i first got it I used reusable edible ink cartridges but the colour wasn’t the best.
Now I use throw normal cartridges and the colour is perfect. X
