I Need Edible Printer Calibration Help

have that printer and have not had any problem with colours, I wish I could help you.

Hi Jennifer,

Not sure if you solved this issue but it can be quite hard to get the edible image colours perfect. Since edible inks are, in simple terms, a type of food colouring, the prints will never truly match that of regular inks, but you can get it close. A couple of quick pointers:

1. Printer Settings: with a bit of trial and error you can match the colours pretty closely. Go into the printer property setting (Print> Properties > Main > Color/Intensity > Manual> Set) and you can test out the print colours there.
2. Ink supplier: some edible inks are really not good quality, make sure you are using an established and well reviewed supplier – we don’t sell them ourselves but we are happy to point you in the right direction.

We’ve actually written a blog post about these colour and shade issues, so if you are still facing issues feel free to check it out at: http://topperoo.com/blog/how-to-solve-edible-ink-issues

Thanks

Actually, ink makes a huge difference and each company sells different inks. Settings are important, but each company has different settings with their ink. I would suggest you contact the company you purchased your ink from to find out what it is they recommend. I can tell you that the Icing Images brand is very close with basic settings. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I started having problems—— soooo I downloaded the Canon ezprint program and utilities, now, absolutely perfect!!!!

I am so glad everything turned out ok. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Delicut I will have to try this and see if it works for mine as well. Thanks for the link :)

Most welcome! In my case, I find I have to adjust the reds so that I get the purple or lila in the picture, but the difference is acceptable :):)

Depending on the brand of ink you use you may get different overtones in color. Also, it is important to use the manufacturers settings as well so you get the overall best results for your prints. For us, we supply a free online graphics program to our customers with the recommended settings. Our colors are very vibrant and true. When we go to shows customers are amazed at the high quality of our prints. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions.

Do you export to the EU?
