So, is your edible ink printer not printing colours correctly?

There are several reasons why this may be happening. Below we have designed an easy-to-use "go-to" diagram that will lead you through troubleshooting steps to help solve your printing colour issue.

Firstly, it's important to note that printing with edible ink on edible icing sheets differs greatly from printing with normal ink on regular paper. Sometimes, a perfect match between the image you are viewing on your computer screen (RGB colour) and the printed edible image (CMYK colour) may not be achievable. Also, icing sheet quality can affect your printing outcome. It is always best to use high-quality, bright white icing sheets, such as the ones we stock at EIS. Likewise, using high-quality edible ink will also maximise your printing success.
