printer for cookies, candies, chocolates, macarons, and more. Users

Eddie, the Edible Ink Printer
Eddie, a revolutionary edible ink printer, prints photos, logos, and text directly onto cookies, 
macarons, marshmallows, white chocolate toppers, and other confections. Eddie is fully 
certified for food-grade use, unlike most edible ink printers on the market. In addition to the 
printer's NSF certification, the print head and all inks are certified as GMP components.
Edible Ink Cartridges: All You Need to Know
The edible ink cartridges we supply contain three inks: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. When 
mixed, the three inks produce a fourth—Black. Our edible ink cartridges are available in 
two different formulations: one approved for use in the USA and Canada and another that 
is approved for use in the EU. The only difference between these two is the composition of 
the Magenta ink.
FAQs for Edible Ink Cartridges

The single cyan/magenta/yellow (CMY) GMP-Certified Edible Ink Cartridge is 
$130 (USD).
● Are the ink cartridges refillable?

FAQs for Edible Ink Cartridges
● What is the expiration date of these ink cartridges? 
Our ink cartridges are best used within a year of their manufacture dates. The 
best-by date is printed on the box. This is required by FDA regulation. Our ink 
cartridges last for six months once opened. They are basically food coloring and 
have no nutritional value or taste that can affect the overall product. 
When you first open the Edible Ink Cartridge, PrintHub will begin tracking its 
age. After the cartridge reaches six months of age, PrintHub will warn you that 
the cartridge is expired and should be replaced. The ink doesn’t immediately 
expire at precisely six months; you can continue printing for a few more days or 
longer.
FAQs for Edible Ink Cartridges
● How many prints will I get per ink cartridge?
The cost per print will vary depending on the coverage of colors used in 
your design and how many colors are used. 
To find out the approximate number of prints per cartridge, we’d need a 
high resolution .jpg of your actual design to run a test through the printer’s 
software. For example, if you were printing a 3.5” cookie with a full-
coverage design, you can expect between 1,400 – 2,700 prints per 
cartridge.
FAQs for Edible Ink Cartridges
● What certifications does the edible ink have? 
These edible ink cartridges are manufactured and filled in cGMP-Certified 
facilities. No other manufacturers' edible ink cartridges currently have cGMP 
Certification.
● Do I have to buy my ink from Primera? 
Eddie’s edible ink cartridges are specifically designed for Primera printers. You 
won’t find them at brick-and-mortar retail stores or local merchants. However, 
our online store and many others will have them in stock.
