Edible Printing
Portable Edible Printer: Why This Printer Pen Crushes Desktop Models
Jan
Do you know the Monaco? It’s simplicity itself: beer, lemonade and grenadine syrup. A winning trio but, let’s admit it, a little… tame. What if we shook things up with a touch of fun? Now imagine that same glass with your client’s logo or a souvenir photo printed directly on the foam.
“I travel the world to hunt down spectacular bar equipment, and today we’re tackling a big one: edible personalisation. Gone are the days when a slice of dried lemon was enough. We’re moving up a gear to turn every cake and every cocktail into a one-of-a-kind piece, with technology that fits in your hand.”

The Magic Pen
The anecdote that changed the game in a palace hotel.
From Icing to Cocktail
The other day, I was working an event with a pastry chef at a palace hotel. He said to me: “My entremets is perfect, but how do I personalise it without ruining the look?”.
I pulled out my EveBot pen. Two seconds later, I’d “tagged” the hotel’s logo directly onto his mirror glaze. A crisp, professional result, without altering the texture.
The Winning Combo
Since we were in a playful mood, we ended the evening at the bar printing the same logos on the foam of our Espresso Martinis. Personalisation is no longer limited by the surface!
✨ The result? Blown-away guests and Instagram-worthy content in a split second.
1. The classic solutions: the “pastry” desktop printer
When you start looking into the subject, you often come across kits based on Canon G650 or IX6850 models. They’re superb machines, but they come with office-style logistics.
1.1 The technical jungle: why weigh yourself down?
To keep these beasts running, some people try to juggle “old-school” consumables. Bad idea.
- ✘ PGI-550/551 & refillable cartridges: Complex, often messy handling for inconsistent results.
- ✘ Refilling machines: A heavy investment in time and equipment for minimal gain.
- ✘ Bottles of universal ink: The health risk is real if traceability and food-grade certification are not flawless.
Forget sublimation ink and laser toner straight away: they’re for non-edible items only! Here, we stick to pure inkjet.
1.2 The printing base: photo paper… that you can eat!
These printers use edible photo paper (wafer or sugar sheets). It’s great for an impressive birthday cake but, let’s be honest, for a cocktail in the middle of a rush or an elegant plated dessert, bringing out the heavy artillery with a 10 kg machine quickly becomes a nightmare.
2. Why I ditched my desktop printer for the EveBot Pen
I’ve tried both. A desktop printer is brilliant for a caterer preparing 200 wafer discs in advance. But for the adrenaline of live service? I fell for the EveBot edible printing pen.
“My professional verdict: spending 10 minutes setting up a Canon for a single photo? That’s a no. Spending 2 seconds gliding a pen over a cocktail foam? A big yes.”
The EveBot pen keeps things simple where big machines make life complicated:
- Lightning speed: Personalisation in a single stroke.
- Total freedom: Upload your logos or selfies in 2 clicks via the app.
- Zero waste: Surgical precision without wasting ink.
Profitability that will make your head spin 💸
The most profitable investment I’ve seen for a bar, a hotel or a caterer.
Just €0.01 per cup. Yes, you read that right. It’s hard to beat.
Up to 3,500 prints per cartridge. Enough to last a whole season of events.
Stop being limited by fixed shapes. Print marriage proposals on an Espresso Martini or logos on sugarpaste.
For stunning results on your cocktails, use our ready-to-use foam. It’s the secret to an ultra-smooth surface where the ink stays crisp for hours. Instagram Story guaranteed!

Edible Branding at Its Best ✨
Ideal for personalising plated desserts in the middle of service.
No more complicated handling: you print directly with a flavourless vegan ink.
Steel chassis, compact design: it fits neatly on a catering buffet or a counter.
Between gastronomy and digital. Whether for a restaurant or a product launch, this system leaves a lasting impression.
“Between PGI-550/551 cartridges and bottles of universal ink, the technical jungle soon gives way to profitability.”
Go for a certified refillable option: it’s the pros’ secret to endless personalisation without blowing the budget.
