Printing method (type) and printing equipment

There are many printing methods in modern printing technology, such as offset printing, letterpress printing, gravure printing, silk screen printing, and inkjet printing. However, for edible food printing technology, due to the limitations of the characteristics of “printing ink” and printing materials, many printing methods cannot be applied, and only silk screen printing and inkjet printing can be used. In particular, inkjet printing is the most desirable edible food printing method.

Ink-jet printing for edible foods is the use of existing inkjet printers to spray edible "printed ink" onto a food or substrate in a defined pattern and path. However, due to the poor rheology of edible “printing inks” and the large particle size, inkjet printers need to be improved accordingly. The key components for improvement are the nozzle and spray chamber. Flow its volume and throughput.

Application of edible food printing technology

In theory, edible food printing technology can be applied to many products or packaging, but due to the performance limitations of "ink" and "printing materials," its application is also subject to corresponding restrictions.

Edible printing technology for foods is mainly used for food, that is, for food printing, such as cakes (including birthday cakes), bread, and candy. Biscuits and various baked goods, cooked meat products and fruits, especially those that are sold or festive food more useful.

The reason why food edible printing technology can be widely used in the food field is that it can be used to counterfeit counterfeiting. Nowadays, packaging foods sold on the market and the information printed on the packaging (such as texts, designs, logos, etc.) cannot be unified, which provides conditions for the substitution of packaging and manufacturing inferior foods. In other words, the food in the package is now almost unprinted, and after the edible food has been printed on the food, the information on the food and the information on the package can be unified to realize counterfeiting.

Research and Application Examples of Edible Printing Foods Abroad

In the current international trend of creating a green wave and continuing to attach importance to food safety, many countries have carried out food food printing research on food printing, and have obtained a lot of research results and applications, of which the United States has achieved considerable progress in this regard. progress. Here are 5 examples:

I. Juices such as carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes are used to formulate a variety of “color inks” or “inks”.

2. The edible packaging printing paper made of soybeans, potatoes, etc. is made into paper tubes, paper boxes, paper cups and the like.

3. Download a variety of interesting patterns on the Internet and enter the inkjet printer, inkjet printing to edible packaging printing paper or edible packaging containers.

4. The food is pre-printed and baked to give special colors and flavors.

5. Use inkjet printers to print foods. The pattern is printed directly on the food. The food is beautiful and delicious (the formulated "color ink" is a seasoning with different colors and flavors), and the technology has gradually become commercialized.
