Printing images and flavors on substrates

This invention describes a printing system designed to apply both colored ink and flavored liquid onto a surface. It uses separate printing elements for each fluid, with the specific constraint that the color of the ink is chosen to match or represent the flavor of the liquid being applied. For instance, a system might print a red image using strawberry-flavored liquid.

Why it matters: Edible inkjet printing technology has matured significantly since 2007, with improved printhead reliability, resolution, and a broader range of food-safe inks and flavorings. Software for precise deposition and design correlation has also advanced.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedInkjet printheads, fluid control, software logic
