Printhead of an edible printer is often clogged due to the nature of the edible ink and improper maintenance. Edible ink printers are a great medium for converting your camera images into edible images. To avoid any clogging with your printhead either you keep it running every day or use Edible cleaning cartridges. If your colors are not coming correct or your magenta is not deep magenta, black is printing faded prints, pink prints orange that means you need to perform cleaning.
Edible inks are food-grade coloring made using extracts of sugar and artificial food colors that contain fixings that can crystallize when temperatures either get excessively cool or unused for drawn-out periods. If your printer is not yielding hues accurately and your nozzle test is not demonstrating all the cartridge hues obviously, then you will more than likely need to clean your print head.

What are Icinginks Edible "Cleaning Cartridges"?
