  • Production of edible substrates
    Publication number: 20060275529
    Abstract: Methods and systems for making an edible substrate may include depositing an edible material onto a backing material from a slot-coat applicator, a spray applicator or a combination of thereof, to form a substantially planar image-bearing edible substrate suitable for adherence to an edible material. An image may be printed on the edible substrate using one or more printing techniques, including screen printing, offset printing, thermal transfer, ink jet printing, lithographic blanket transfer printing, flexographic printing, letter press rotary relief plate printing, web printing, reel to reel printing and gravure printing.

  • Transfer printing process with edible inks
    Publication number: 20030097949
    Abstract: A decorating kit including a transfer sheet having printed thereon a substantially non-tacky layer of an edible ink. The ink may be used in a transfer printing process for forming an image layer on a surface of an edible article. The transfer process includes providing a transfer sheet with a substantially non-tacky layer of an edible ink thereon; contacting the layer of edible ink with the surface of the edible article; and removing the transfer sheet such that the ink releases therefrom and forms an image layer on the surface of the edible article.
