The Big Question is: Canon edible printer or Epson edible printer-Which To Buy?
In our decades of experience with edible ink printing, we have experienced the Canon printers have an edge over Epson printers for few reasons. No doubt Epson printers are of great quality in regular and high-end graphics flex or wide images printing. But if we talk about edible printing, Canon has got few extra positive points.
- Canon Printers have removable printheads, making them easy to clean and maintain. Cleaning can be done simply by hot water or any edible cleaner if any clogging happens.
- Canon machines work the best with Choco transfers. Epson Printers does not work pretty well with chocolate transfer sheets.
Why Chocolate Transfer Sheets Work Differently With Canon & Epson Printers?
Chocolate Transfer Sheets are also called acetate sheets and Choco Transfers. The Icinginks Choco sheets are coated with a layer of cocoa butter, making them special. However, the acetate sheets often can clog the printer roll of the Epson edible printers, interrupting the printing process. Epson printers are unable to hold on to these sheets, and therefore are unable to feed them through the printer.
Conclusion:
We recommend you to use Canon machines for edible ink printers as their print rolls are way better equipped to process edible sheets. Canon machines can print on Chocolate Transfer Sheets. As they are engineered for easy operation, even a non-professional can easily operate them without any hassle. Also, these edible ink printers will serve you for a very long time as they have removable print heads. The basic requirement for an edible ink printer is their cleaning as edible inks have a different texture than regular inks. Removable printheads mean better ease at cleaning or replacement. However, If you need to print edible images larger than 11x16", go with Epson edible ink printers.
Keep in mind edible image printing is done the same way you print a normal picture on plain paper. The difference being they use edible ink cartridges to print on edible sheets.
