Printing to Chocolate Transfer Sheets
Have you ever thought about how to print to a chocolate transfer sheet? I’m going to admit, I sure haven’t, but I’m extremely interested in learning more about the process. You’ve heard of edible ink, which is also known as food ink, or cake ink maybe. This edible ink is specially formulated food-grade, injectable food coloring mix, which is made to flow through certain inkjet printers and print on edible paper. Which is how you create your custom digital prints.
If you’re thinking about edible printing, be sure your know all four of the components – edible cartridges, edible inks, dedicated printer, and edible paper or frosting sheets.
Using Chocolate Molds
Chocolate Molds are also known as candy molds, and can be purchased in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Whether you’re hunting for clean plastic molds for a celebration or molds for the holidays you’ll likely find what you’re looking for at InkEdibles.com. If you’re looking for a chocolate mold you can find them in several different kinds, and it will need to be tempered before molding, unless the candy coating needs to be melted and it is ready to use.
Clean plastic molds work great for candy coatings and molding chocolates. They can also be used repeatedly, but one must keep in mind they are not good for hot temperatures.
If you need something more versatile, consider using silicone candy molds. They offer flexibility to be used on other products such as butter mints. To learn more about the different types of molds swing by InkEdibles.com
Now, for the fun part, let’s get the images to the chocolate!
Getting The Image Transfers to Chocolate
In order to get the image to the chocolate you’ll need InkEdibles™ ChocoSpray™ Coating. The InkEdibles™ ChocoSpray™ Coating is a product used for transferring your edible ink images to dark chocolate or milk chocolate. InkEdibles™ ChocoSpray™ Coating works to enhance the brightness and richness of the edible ink colors. It does this by creating a opaque background when it’s transferring edible prints from the InkEdibles™ Printable Chocolate Transfer Sheets to dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
To apply you can use a spray pump, airbrush, paint it on, or use a sponge to the dried edible ink print. You do this before applying the tempered chocolate. It’s recommended to use the InkEdibles™ ChocoSpray™ as a base mixed with clear liqueur, flavored extract, or alcohol.
