DTM Print’s Eddie Edible Ink Printer – an FDA and EU approved food printer – is now capable of printing on even taller items including doughnuts, jumbo marshmallows, bars, bagels and mini cakes up to 50.8mm tall using its new Eddie Platform Kit.
Eddie Edible Ink Printer prints full-colour photos, logos, designs and text directly onto the surface of baked goods and confectionery. Using the included carousel, Eddie prints a dozen 89mm cookies or other similar-sized items in just two minutes and therefore makes the process of printing onto cookies, candy, white chocolate, biscuits and macarons fast and easy.
The carousel rotates the cookies to the print position, then the printer pulls in cookies or sweets one at a time, and prints and sends them back to the carousel – all automatically and hands-free. To print on taller confections such as doughnuts, the carousel needs to be removed and instead the Platform Kit is installed. Each food item is then manually fed onto the platform.
Printed cookies or other sweet treats will be dry and ready for sale after printing. Printed images are bright and vibrant. Using the included carousel, Eddie holds up to twelve items from 63.5 mm to 110 mm in diameter with a maximum thickness of 19 mm. To print on taller, special shaped confections or multiple items in one run, Eddie’s manual feeding option combined with DTM Trays extends the width to 120mm and allows thicker items with a maximum height of 27mm. A wide selection of acrylic food trays including custom-shaped trays are designed especially for Eddie by DTM Print.
And now the third option is to use the Eddie Platform Kit for items up to 50.8mm high and up to 114mm wide. Once installed, the kit replaces the standard platform.
Due to direct printing, there is no strange film or aftertaste, which would decrease the quality of the food. The edible ink meets all EU and FDA standards for use as a food additive, while the ink cartridge itself meets cGMP standards and the entire manufacturing and cartridge filling processes are FDA-compliant and cGMP certified. In addition, the edible ink is Kosher and Halaal certified and suitable for vegans.
