Direct to Food

Icing Images designed the BLUE Food Printers, in collaboration with an engineer, to set a new standard in food printing. It was designed to maximize efficiency, creativity, and profitability, saving time for BLUE Owners while improving their quality of life.

With the BLUE Food Printer, you can print directly on most flat food surfaces using edible ink. The device uses a print bed to position the food items, which can then be customized with any image using the template software provided on the included laptop. By adhering to copyright guidelines and utilizing any software of your choice to design your images, the possibilities are endless!

Features and Benefits:

The printer employs cost-effective ink tanks instead of expensive cartridges.
Tanks allow you to see the actual levels of ink, enabling you to pour only the ink color you need. This results in reduced ink costs for 2.5" cookies - reduced to 1/100th of a penny.
Unlike other printers on the market, where you must replace the entire multi-color cartridge once one ink color runs out, you only need to replace the depleted ink color with BLUE Food Printers.
Utilizing CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) color model involves using four distinct colors, including black, instead of the primary colors to create black. The inclusion of black in conjunction with the primary colors serves to produce striking, high-quality images and enhances the authenticity of colors.
Print different images on various shapes and sizes of treats all at once. Adjust the print bed allowing you to print objects as thin as edible paper or as tall as cakes. (Please note that printing heights vary depending on the model. All items on the print bed must be within 5mm of one another.)
All GMP standards are followed along with FDA, Health Department, and OU requirements.
Use your BLUE to print a design and accentuate it with hand piping over top adding dimension to your treat. Print on cake boards for custom coordination. Create Paint-Your-Own cookies and paint palettes without stencils!
Print directly on wet royal icing to quickly create custom Royal Icing Transfers.
Print Directly on Cakes, Cookies, Macrons, M&M's, Bread, Cheese, Marshmallows, Cupcakes, Edible Paper, Fondant, Buttercream, Wet or Dry Royal Icing, Isomalt, Hot or Cold Beverages, Chocolate, and More!
Print on sheets of fondant to effortlessly wrap entire cakes.
As a BLUE owner, you are invited to join an exclusive Facebook Group of BLUE Printer Owners, where you can leverage collective skills and camaraderie to elevate your talents and business. BLUE Printer owners who are in this group recognize the significance of this technology and share a mutual desire for growth in sharing ideas.
BLUE Printers are well-built and sturdy, ensuring long-lasting durability despite constant use.

Save time and money:

By utilizing BLUE, you can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on printing. Once set up, you can leave the printer to handle the task while you attend to other duties, eliminating the need to stand by the printer and feed items one by one. It's like having a free employee who comes to work on time with no complaints at a much lower cost.
Take on larger orders, resulting in increased profit margins. You no longer stay up all night decorating and can instead spend more time with your family. With BLUE, you can create beautiful edible designs and expand your product offerings by printing on additional treats. This, in turn, offers a more comprehensive and enticing menu for your clients.

Ease of use:

All BLUE Owners get their personal coach to provide tailored one-on-one Zoom recorded training sessions.
Any graphics program can be utilized for the design process, with the only prerequisite being its ability to save files in .jpg format. Then upload the image into the INCLUDED laptop to easily create your template to print. Including a laptop ensures uniformity among owners, making it easier for BLUE Coaches to assist.

Choosing Your BLUE:

To ensure that you select the correct machine that meets your needs, there are several key factors to consider. BLUE is a production printer that must be used at least twice per week. If you do not believe you will use it that often, consider one of the Icing Images Standard Edible Paper Printers.

Since your BLUE Printer will be at the center of your decorating production, consider the printer placement. Some BLUE owners place the printer on a rolling prep cart that they move around during different stages of production. When not in use, it can be rolled out of the area.
Four different sizes of BLUE Printers are available for purchase. Little BLUE, Big BLUE, Big BLUE XL, and Mega BLUE. When choosing the correct size, consider your business growth plan. Think ahead and consider these factors. Big BLUE has twice the printable area of Little BLUE at a small additional cost. It can print on larger items, such as cakes and drinks, up to 4" taller than Little BLUE, for a total height of 7.75". But the size difference between Little BLUE and Big BLUE is only 8" W, 5.75" D, and 4.75" H.
Big BLUE has a single printhead while Big BLUE XL has two, doubling its printing capacity without any additional time required. However, XL's size is only 13.50" W x -0.25" D x 0" H larger than Big BLUE.
Icing Images is always happy to help you find the correct printer. Please feel free to contact us directly.
