But if there are orders to print cakes in large quantities, it will be more practical to print images on cakes using a Direct to cake cake printer. For a nice and bright result, follow these steps:

1. The image to be printed must be clean and use high resolution.

When there are customers who want to print images on cakes, try to inform them that the resolution must be large and not blurry because that will affect the print results on the cake.

The resolution on the image should be 150 dpi and that is the minimum. The size of the photo or image file should also be larger than the size of the edible image that will be printed on the surface of the bun or mantou cake.

2. Adjust the image to be printed, both the contrast and brightness.

You can adjust it with Color Manual Adjustment or you can press CTRL-M on the keyboard when using Photoshop.
