Regular paper will not affect your edible ink printer at all. Each printer is slightly different and often a small tweak may be needed to get things just right. You can take the time to make any adjustments necessary to ensure that your images are perfectly centred in each circle. This is especially helpful when using icing sheets with pre-cut shapes.

This will give you the ability to make changes to the size, colour or quality of your image without wasting your icing sheets.

Here a 2D cross-correlation between the ideal-typical (data-technical) reference and the scanned image is carried out.īy complying with the requirements for image acquisition and processing as well as for the simulation of the human visual system by means of blur filters dependent on the viewing distance, an index (L-score) was developed which enables a high correlation with the results of the visual tests.Yes, you can use regular paper in your Edible Ink Printer! And we highly recommend that you do in order to get to know your printer and to run test prints by doing so you will save yourself potential frustration and money.īefore printing on your edible icing sheets, it is best to first try out your image on plain printer paper in your edible ink printer. On the basis of extensive visual experiments, an index ( M-Score) including the evaluation matrix is derived, which ranges from 0 (worst homogeneity) to 100 (perfect homogeneity). In the first method, homogeneously applied colour areas are recorded in spatial resolution using standard test chart readers and evaluated by image analysis. Two methods were developed which allow an objective evaluation of the respective image quality attribute with a high correlation to the visual results. The main focus of this project was the process-independent evaluation of inhomogeneities and the sharpness of detail. A plausibility test has been developed for print samples with pronounced directional dependence (anisotropy), specifically for non-paper-like substrates, to help determine the suitability of conventional colour measurement technology for capturing the colour appearance.
