Personalised food printing for your school, college or university

DTM Print offers solutions for direct-to-food printing using Eddie, the Edible Ink Printer

Personalised chocolate and biscuits are in high-demand, primarily for weddings, corporate hospitality and other events. Those products stand out and offer that little ‘extra’.

Imagine printing your school crest onto food for school events such as visitor open days, parents’ evenings, musical evenings, and sports days. Not just your logos, but photographs of students, medals, other images and text. Do your children hold cake sales to raise funds for long distance school trips? Printing a map or country landmark onto a biscuit or cupcake topper would be a great talking point to raise awareness and even more funds. How about the Summer or Christmas fair? There are endless possibilities.

With Eddie, a direct-to-food printer with edible ink, it is very easy to print onto biscuits, sweets, marshmallows, white chocolate, M&Ms, extra strong mints, ice cream wafers, Tic-Tac’s and a wide range of baked goods.

As Eddie prints full-colour photos, logos, designs and text directly onto the surface of baked goods and confectionery, there is no need for using icing sheets. There is also no aftertaste and no added texture which would decrease the quality of the food. And the ink is 100% food safe. A highly professional look and great detail are realised, even on curved and uneven surfaces. Eddie turns treats into real eye-catchers and opens up excitement and intrigue by offering branded and bespoke products.

Eddie was designed to be used in food processing environments to fulfil all hygienic standards. Stainless steel housing, easy to clean components and certified ink with EU and FDA approvals make Eddie the safest direct-to-food printer in its class. The edible ink is also Kosher and Halal certified, suitable for vegans and people with nut allergies.

Many schools have 3D printers today, ten years ago these were rare. DTM Print believe edible food printing to be the next technology for schools. To use and to educate a new concept in the added value of personalisation.

Personalisation is the main reason Leeds University bought an Eddie. It impressed both staff and students with personalised biscuits for open days and other university events. “Eddie is more of a self-promotion tool, explains Oliver Renshaw, Business and Systems Manager at Leeds University. Renshaw further explains “The printer makes a great talking point as people love to see it work”. Like 3D printing, Eddie is easy to create designs, easy to use and increases creativity in schools by also showing parents your innovations.
