    Try shooting hot water through the print head using a plunger syringe…. Sometimes the pressure will loosen whatever’s in there. If it 100% won’t print after all of that it might be time to replace the printer.

    Moisture will damage them, so if condensation forms on the cake when it's taken out of the fridge that can make them sag. If it's at room temperature then it's not going to be much of a problem.

You have to decide whether you want to spend your time chasing these people down when they'll just do it again, or whether you want to worry about other things.

    It's so difficult for anyone in the creative community to make it now with the amount of theft taking place. Many years ago I used to sell handmade items at parks, fairs and to stores directly. Occasionally I would see people trying to copy an item but it was rare. Then sites like the ones you mention came in and all they care about is making a buck, no respect for artists at all. So thank you for the links to where I can buy from the artists themselves.

    Good luck! Set it up the normal way that you would use a regular printer, but use the food coloring ink. Do a test print to begin with, and if you have to do a basic cleaning to get the ink going do that. (that's in the maintenance section of the print controls.) Watch my other videos about how to clean the print heads, and make sure that you're printing something once a day, even if it's just a test print, to keep the ink going through the printer.

    Wow I'm fixing to invest in a printer for editable papers. What brand or model do you recommend starting out with? I think you should maybe team up with the Printer Companies and make an ink head that is more manageable for cleaning and be better at printing. They never know what to fix unless people like you with so much experience tell them. TFS this!! New subbie btw!

  • @Acaketoremember
    @Acaketoremember3 ай бұрын

    The problem is the inks, not the print heads, apparently. The food coloring isn't the same consistency as real ink, so the magenta is thicker than normal ink and it clogs up more often. The black clogs too, because it's a mix of all of the colors so it has magenta in it.

    So ow long can you soak a print head in water? Is overnight too long? Also, Magent!! Ugh! It’s the only one that ever gives an issue. I clean the printhead and works great. The very next day the pink is barely there. Cleaning daily is stupid. You mentioned magenta maybe sold from bad batch, is there a particular brand you trust? Icing images is where it came from.

  • @Acaketoremember
    @Acaketoremember5 ай бұрын

    It's not a bad batch at this point, they fixed that, but the magenta is thicker than the other ink, so it clogs faster. I've been having problems with the black ink recently, and I never did before. Black has magenta in it, so I think part of it could be that. It's REALLY aggravating. I did try a different ink brand and it did the exact same thing, so that didn't matter. I also think that the food coloring ink basically burns out the print head a lot faster than regular ink does, sine I can usually get about 3 months out of a printer before I have to give up and replace it. If one lasts longer than that it's a miracle. I plan on going through about 10 printers a year, it stinks. You can soak them in water for as long as you want to. If you don't have the print head cleaner from Icing Images get some, it definitely helps to clean the ink out better than water by itself. And force water through the nozzles using a squeeze bottle or syringe, that helps to get clogs out.

    So you're saying that you've had two printers do the same thing? I would look at the printer settings and adjust the magenta down on the printer, but depending on how that looks, it could be the computer that you're printing from. I think that one of my computers displays thigs differently than the other, and they print differently, too. If you adjust the color settings in the computer that might help.

  • @Acaketoremember

    I'm sorry it took so long to answer, I thought that I'd answered this. Try one more time, rinse the printer head in hot water for 15 minutes until it looks like it's running clean, then soak it in printer head cleaning fluid for a couple of hours. Try forcing some of the fluid through the nozzles using a syringe and shooting it into the nozzles and through the vents on the back. After it's soaked for a couple of hours run hot water through it again for another 15 minutes, then let it dry out for an hour or so and put it back in the printer. Run a deep cleaning on it and see if it prints correctly. If it doesn't, it could be time for a new printer. I just had a printer do the same thing with the cyan not printing, and when I cleaned it the cyan printed but magenta didn't, and I couldn't get it to work, so I had to switch it out for a new printer, unfortunately.
