I am in the graphic arts field, and I recently attended a seminar
about ink jet printing. The presenter said she had heard that chefs
has used ink jet printers (modified?) to put various flavorings on
rice paper (edible?). I was wondering if anyone has heard about this?
I guess they used the rice paper to wrap sushi.

"He plans to buy a class IV laser, the type normally used in surgery
or welding, to create "inside-out" food. By using the laser to burn
a hole through a piece of meat, steaks will be seared in the centre
and be more rare towards the edges. Bread can also be "baked" in
this way, with crusts in the middle and soft dough outside."

I don't see any advantage to either of those ideas. Well, maybe the
2nd one could be used as a hot dog bun. The condiments would have
to go on the outside.

But the steak? That's just so wrong.

It is true you can do it
Purchase printer for your printing. Many edible ink/paper manufacturers list what printers work with their products.

Place food coloring-filled cartridges into your printer.

use a graphics program to create images for you to print.

Purchase edible frosting sheets online (see Resources). These companies also sell edible frosting sheets.

Insert the color-filled cartridge into your printer. The cartridges usually come with instructions if you have questions regarding their installation.

Place a frosting sheet into your printer following the instructions on the package. Usually the sheets are placed frosting side up for printing.

Allow the image to dry before handling.
