What Do You Need for Edible Printing?

With the progress of science and technology and people's pursuit of quality of life, the food industry is also constantly innovating, combining art and food. Edible printing, as a new creative element, has gradually become the focus of the food industry. So what do you need for edible printing?

Firstly, material selection is key. The main raw materials of edible printing include edible ink. Edible inks are divided into natural ink and synthetic ink. Natural inks are usually made from pigments extracted from natural sources, such as plants or other natural ingredients. Synthetic ink is a food coloring produced by the synthetic reaction of chemical substances.

Secondly, design is the soul. The design of the edible printing is crucial, and it directly affects the visual effect of the food. Designers need to have certain artistic skills and creative thinking, combining food and art. In the design process, you can use various patterns, words, lines and other elements, combined with the characteristics of food, to create an unique work. In addition, designers also need to consider the practicality of the printing to ensure that it is not easy to fall off and fade during cooking.

In addition, the production process is the guarantee. The production process of edible printing mainly includes printing, engraving, stamping and so on. Among them, the printing technology is the most mature, which can be divided into two types: thermal transfer printing and inkjet printing. Thermal transfer is the printing of food coloring on special transfer paper, and then the pattern is transferred to the surface of the food by high temperature. Inkjet printing is the direct injection of food coloring onto the surface of the food. Engraving and die technology is more suitable for making three-dimensional patterns, such as flowers, animals and so on. During the production process, it is necessary to ensure that the printing pattern is clear, even, and not easy to break. There are all kinds of food printers in the market, such as flatbed food printer, high-speed food printer, which can greatly improve the printing efficiency, so you can pick one according to your needs.

Finally, the application scenario is extension. Edible printing is widely used in cakes, cookies, chocolate, candy and other desserts to add color to food. In banquets, celebrations, festivals and other occasions, edible printing can create an unique atmosphere and enhance the quality of food. In addition, you can also customize your own edible prints according to your personal preferences and needs, so that the food is more personalized.

In short, the production of edible prints requires a clever combination of selected raw materials, clever design, exquisite craftsmanship and application scenarios. With people's pursuit of food art, edible printing market has a broad prospect. Let's look forward to more perfect fusion of food and art, adding color to life.
