Does this replace my office printer?

No — never use an edible ink printer for regular office prints, or vice versa.

1. Health & safety: Standard inks contain harmful chemicals that can contaminate food and pose health risks—even after a single standard print cycle.

2. Contamination risk: Ink residue lingers, even after cleaning and soaking, and can mix with edible inks .

3. Paper compatibility: Office printers aren’t built for edible sheets—expect frequent jams or damage.

4. Best practice: Always keep a printer exclusively for edible use—this ensures safety, avoids cross-contamination, and extends printer life.

Key takeaway: Invest in a separate, dedicated edible printer—your cakes, health, and peace of mind are worth it.
