DTM Print’s cookie-cutter solution
31 October 2026
This really is a story about ‘having your cake and eating it’ as German-based DTM Print, specialists in the development of niche printing solutions, launches ‘Connie, The Cake Sheet Printer’, designed to print on edible sheets in professional bakery environments and the first cake sheet printer to be certified to NSF/ANSI standards.
Developed jointly by NSF International, a global public health and safety organization, and ANSI, a U.S.-based non-profit that oversees voluntary consensus standards for products and services, the NSF/ANSI standards effectively ensure that products, such as water treatment devices, are made from safe, non-toxic materials and effectively remove specific contaminants. ANSI provides accreditation to confirm that these standards follow a consensus-based development process
In the case of Connie, the printer has been purpose-built as a dedicated edible ink system, complete with stainless-steel housing and other food-contact-rated components which support professional food production.
Where previously, bakeries and cake decorators have used adapted consumer inkjet printers to print images onto icing sheets and other edible media, these standard office printers are obviously not designed for food production and their materials, internal components and cleaning requirements are not suitable for use in food environments. By contrast Connie provides independent assurance for professional food production environments and as the first edible cake sheet printer to receive NSF certification, this serves as independent confirmation of its suitability for commercial food environments.
The edible inks used by Connie meet applicable EU and FDA requirements for use as a food additive, while the ink cartridges and manufacturing processes comply with cGMP and FDA requirements. The edible ink is also Kosher and Halal certified and suitable for vegan applications.
Connie prints resolutions of up to 1200x4800dpi, and supports sheets up to 279x432mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from individual cupcake toppers to full-sheet cake decorations and cake wraps. The printer supports frosting sheets, sugar sheets, wafer paper and other compatible edible media, giving bakeries and cake decorators flexibility in their choice of materials and designs. Automated maintenance routines help keep the printhead ready for use, even during periods of low production, reducing the need for manual intervention and helping minimise downtime.
