Edible Print – Full Page Image Layout

Your Edible Print sheets are NOT pre-cut.
You can cut your Edible Print sheet to any shape using scissors, blades or paper punches.

Best way to work with ICING SHEET with ROUND CUPCAKE/COOKIE TOPPERS:
Cupcakes and Cookie toppers are round most of the times. Many people use scissors to cut them out one by one first, then apply to product or a layer of thinly rolled fondant, then cut again… Too much of a hassle! ?
Try doing the following: roll out a very thin (thickness of 1-3 post cards) sheet of fondant or a mixture of fondant and Tylose powder/ gum paste (even better!). Apply the entire printed sheet on to it carefully removing air bubbles if any. Let it sit for 5 min to merge completely. Then take a cookie cutter of the same diameter as your circles and cut through both layers at once. The thinner your fondant is rolled, the crispier the cut line will be. And no, it will not affect the taste or texture much.
You may now apply your cutouts to baked product, or leave them to dry for an hour or overnight to become more rigid and hold shape better. You may even place them upright on top of your cupcakes!

I do not sell or provide any images for your print.

You submit your own image files – I print them on a chosen layout with or without minor alterations as per your request.

Here is why:

Most of the images found online are licensed or copyright protected. If I offer you those images, it would be equal of me selling them along with my services. I provide printing and layout/minor alterations services only and can not legally offer, provide or sell any copyright protected or licensed image as a product.

By uploading your image, you as a customer take full responsibility for obtaining all copyright and the authorization to use the image. 

I can, however, help you to find good quality images for uploads:

Absolutely!

First, do make sure the images you are using have good print resolution! If you want a quality print, you need to get good size images.
Check this link for Image Size Calculator and image finding tips.

You may also downoad my Full Page PDF template if you are creating the print file yourself.

If you send me your own ready to print PDF file of the right print size, I really don’t care how many images you fit onto it (example: cupcake toppers – you may fit several circles onto 1 page and send me your ready to print file).

I accept PDF, JPG or PNG files only and will NOT print from Word, PowerPoint or any other file format.

If you are familiar with creating a PDF file with images, you should be good, because this is the best file format for printing. It respects exact  size and position of all design elements.

You can use any image editing software you are familiar with, downoad my Full Page PDF template with safety margins, open it in your software and place anything you want within page limits. Then save your file and upload.

Saving your PDF without size reduction at 300 dpi resolution is best: File → Save as → PDF Compression: do not downsample.

If you are using Adobe Illustrator, please do not forget to do the following before you save your file:

1. Select all your placed images one by one and click Embed to ensure that they will be attached to your saved file.
   
2. If you are adding any text to your image, select all of it, choose Type→Create Outlines.
   Illustrator gives you the opportunity to change text into outlines or artwork. Basically, you change the text into an object, so you can no longer edit that text by typing. The plus side is that it saves you the trouble of sending fonts to everyone who wants to use the file.

Sorry, but I can’t sell 1/2 page prints.

Minimum order is 1 full page, regardless of how small of an area your image may take on it.

However, if your image size allows, I can place it 2 times on the page so you may have a spare copy of it.

The online order system helps me to keep track and execute your print order more fast and accurate by having your important order details collected all at once. It saves the time and trouble of a few emails back and forth for both of us.

If, however, you have any problems or difficulties submitting your print request via the web site, you may directly email me your files along with the following info in the same email:

• • your full name
  • your phone number
  • detailed print instructions
  • delivery method:
    • pick-up by Appointment: day and exact time (no “noon”, or “around 1 pm”, please)
    • or Door pick-up: 24/7, no appointment
    • or shipping address

Otherwise, please do submit your print request via the web site.

Many of my clients do place their edible images on store-bought cakes following my
ICING /FROSTING SHEET APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

When placing your order, please, do not forget to let me know exactly what shape (round or rectangular) and how large you want your image to be printed because there is no such thing as a standard cake size. I am also not able to suggest which size print you need based on the number of cake servings.

You can always measure the cake top area yourself or ask the bakery to do this for you.

Yes, but there is a small BUT!

Not all images of paper currency may be printed.

When any printer or photo copier analyzes a page before printing it and it contains any money images, the printer software senses a certain pattern used on most modern bills. It will immediately stop the printing function. This is done in an attempt to prevent common people from breaking the law by counterfeiting their own currency. This is known as the Counterfeit Deterrence System and it works regardless of whether you try to print real money, play money or edible paper bills for cake decorating.

You may, however, get lucky and find some money bill images that will print!
How do you know if they will? You have to test it on your home printer (or any other printer), and that is the only way of knowing.

So, before sending me a page of edible money bills to print, please do check on your home printer first. If it prints the whole page on your printer, then you may submit your print file and it will most probably print on mine, too. If not – keep looking for other images online until you find the one that will pass the printing test and make sure to save it on your computer to use later if you need more copies!

You may submit your single money bill image at Logo Sheet Layout, or, if you are able to create a page with multiple bills yourself, you may submit your ready to print PDF at Full Page Layout.

EDIBLE PRINT STORAGE
Keep your frosting sheet in its original heat-sealed zip bag until you are ready to use it.  Once cut open, use immediately. Store remaining parts of the unused decal in closed zip bag to prevent drying.  
Store your edible image print in a cool, dry location away from direct light to avoid fading.

During winter: The prints may crack or shatter when frozen. When picking-up, protect from exposing to freezing weather. |

FINISHED CAKE STORAGE
Once your image is applied to a cake, you may then store it in a dry (home) fridge.
Commercial humid walk-in fridges may cause colors to run, so you may want to place your cake inside a cardboard box to keep extra humidity away and absorb any potential condensation.

Edible Print Montreal (Key Art Studio Cakes) cannot be responsible for the print care, storage and transportation once the print was given to the customer.
