<p>A system for creating a decorative edible item from a selected image. The system includes at least one image source (20), such as a scanner and/or library of stored images, a controller unit (30) and a printer (40). An edible media is inserted into the printer (40). The user selects the image source (20), such as the scanner for scanning in a photograph reminiscence of a person or event being honored. The size of the image and the number of copies to be printed is then selected. Activation of the print sequence includes: the controller unit (30) applying color correction to the digital image and converting the digital image into printer control signals to operate the printer (40). The printer (40) then prints a rendition with edible inks onto the edible media as the edible media travels through the printer (40). A high-quality pictorial rendition of the image is thus created. The printed edible media can then be applied onto a product, shipped to a separate location, or eaten as is.</p> |
