Tips In Searching For Edible Ink Cartridges

By Joseph Gibson


Edible ink printing, a procedure in creating images using food colors on various confectionery products like cakes, pastries and cookies. These are created by a printer transferring the images to thin edible paper. This paper is composed of sugars and starches but the modern versions are frosting sheets that would melt when they are applied to the moist surface.

Many companies are using this process to add more to the design of their baked goods but after a while the ink will run out. Fortunately, there are stores that are selling edible ink cartridges you can buy as a replacement. Here are some tips in searching for a store in your area that sells these aside from where you bought your printer.

Begin searching for stores using the internet that offers this product in your area and get their contact information. Yellow pages could be another source for searching them as they may advertise their products using this medium. Make a list of those you have found and get more information on them to help you in choosing.

Ask from the people you know for recommendations as they may have purchased one before from a certain shop. They would share their experience on the customer service provided and the quality of their purchased product from that shop. Add those they recommended that are not yet listed and acquire more information about them.

Research their company background that includes information on how long they have been selling this product. Their longevity is an indication of their capabilities in doing business by selling the products successfully in the community. Inquire on how many regular customer they already have that are purchasing in their store showing how many trusts their products.

Read some testimonials and reviews online to know the opinions of the people regarding their products and the customer service provided. You would be able to see here if any negative opinions or complaints have been raised against them as well. You can find these things in websites which allows customers to write reviews and rate certain shops.

Request to check some examples of products and what does the result look like after they have been printed on a confectionery item. This will also be your opportunity in choosing the kind of ink you will like to use on your printer. Request to contact some references which usually are their regular customers and know their opinions about the store.

Inquire on the price of their product that is compatible with the current printer you have which is something you have to make sure. Buying an ink that is not compatible would be a waste of money because you would not be able to use it unless you return it and have it replaced. Check if they also have the paper you need for this.

These cartridges though are not made by those who made your printer. They just mimic their shapes to fit in the device. This is because they are made to run on inkjet printers that are used for printing documents.
