There are food printers designed for printing on candies and other edible items. These printers use edible inks, which are made from food-grade ingredients to print designs, logos or images onto candy surfaces. The technology is the inkjet printing, and it’s adapted to work with food products.

Here are a few examples of how food printers are used for candy printing, edible ink printers, 3D Candy Printers and edible paper printing (wafer paper or rice paper).

3D Candy Printers
3D candy printers, like the 3D Systems ChefJetor Candy 3D Printer from Print a Sweet, are capable of creating complex, intricate shapes and designs by layering edible sugar or other ingredients.
These printers can build up multi-layered candy pieces, and they are especially popular for producing custom candy molds and decorative confections.

Edible Paper Printing (Wafer Paper or Rice Paper)
Some printers are equipped to print on edible wafer paper, rice paper, or other thin edible sheets that can then be placed on top of candies or cakes. These designs can be very detailed and colorful.

Edible Ink Printers
These printers use edible ink cartridges to print directly onto a variety of surfaces, including fondant, chocolate, and other confections.
The inks are typically made from natural food colorants, so they are safe to consume.
Popular brands like Epson offer standard inkjet printers that can be modified with edible ink and edible paper for printing on candies.
Like the videos above show, it is edible ink-jet printing.
