In the world of edible printing, technology has come a long way. From the early days of bulky, slow machines that required constant manual tweaking, we’ve now entered the era of AI-powered precision. At the forefront of this shift is EdiBot, iKoffy’s revolutionary AI Food Printer – but how exactly does it differ from traditional food printing? Let’s break it down.
1. Technology & Printing Method

Traditional Food Printers often adapt regular inkjet printing mechanisms with edible ink cartridges. While they work, they can be prone to clogging, require frequent calibration, and offer limited versatility in what they can print on.
EdiBot, on the other hand, uses NanoJet™ edible ink technology – a purpose-built system designed for food-grade printing. This ensures smooth, consistent output, and it’s optimized for high-resolution printing on a wide variety of surfaces.
2. Design Process & User Experience

Traditional food printing often requires pre-loaded designs, USB transfers, or software that looks like it came from the early 2000s. Customization on the fly is minimal.
With EdiBot’s companion app, you can upload images from your phone, edit them, add text, and print instantly. Thanks to AI assistance, the app can adjust colors, sharpen details, and even suggest layout improvements for better print quality.
3. Food Safety Standards

Traditional edible inks vary in quality, and not all meet international safety standards.
EdiBot’s NanoJet™ edible ink is made from FDA-approved, food-grade ingredients like glycerin, purified water, and FD&C-compliant colorants. It’s safe for direct contact with food and meets global food safety regulations, giving both creators and customers peace of mind.
4. Portability & Design
Most traditional food printers are bulky and tied to one location.
EdiBot is compact and portable, easy to move between counters or take to off-site events. Its modern design also makes it a statement piece rather than something you hide behind the counter.

The Verdict
While traditional food printing paved the way for edible creativity, EdiBot takes it to an entirely new level – smarter, faster, more versatile, and safer. Whether you’re a café owner looking to impress customers, a baker wanting to expand your offerings, or a creative professional seeking new ways to customize, EdiBot opens the door to endless possibilities.
