Posted by on 11/2/2019 to Edible Cartridges

Sooner or later you'll have to replace your edible ink cartridges after warning message is displayed on your edible printer.

After getting ready to buy new set you realized there is option to get XXL edible cartridges for your printer.

Are they worth extra money?

In short, answer is yes. Extra large capacity edible ink cartridges hold more ink representing much better value than standard edible ink cartridges.

Since Canon edible printers are most popular on market let's breakdown most popular types of Canon edible ink cartridges offered today, however same rules apply to Epson edible ink cartridges.

The page yield is the number of pages one can print from an ink cartridge and may be a decision factor or be calculated in your cost of printing an edible image.

Note: Ink yield may vary depending on texts/photos printed, applications software used, print mode, and type of edible paper used.

Most used canon edible cartridges today are 250/251 , 270/271 , 280/281 . They use same body therefore edible ink capacity will be same for all of them.

The quoted page yield for a given sample document is based on an average of three identical edible printers printing each document continuously until the edible ink runs out. This is done three times per printer, using a new set of cartridges each time.

What Affects Page Yield?

Many different variables have to be taken into account when measuring page yield:

Content and type of document printed
Type of edible paper used
Type of edible printer
Print mode and driver setting
Cake Software application used
Conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity and frequency of printing

Canon's testing keeps these variables constant to ensure that yields are comparable between different printers.

Standard Testing Documents, Standard Settings

To determine page yields, a set of standard sample documents is used. These standard test documents are designed to represent the documents and photographs printed by a typical user.
