Digital printing with edible inks

 

Digital printing with edible inks is a customization technique that allows you to print images, logos, texts or decorations directly on edible surfaces using food-based inks, safe for human consumption.

How does it work?

After a specialized software has prepared the graphic file, it is sent to the digital printer which, using inkjet technology, applies the food color directly onto the product in the printer tray. This checks that the ink is positioned correctly for a precise result without waste.

Some examples of application on promotional items

Digital printing with edible inks is used on our personalized sweets such as biscuits, lollipops and chocolates. An important requirement for the success of the print is that the support is dry and flat.
