Sterilising print heads? Canon have a big disclaimer on their website saying they don't suggest using the inks but I guess they would as they don't make any money from them!

Hmm, I wonder how many people actually do?

It's not knowing the regulations that's prevented me buying into this from you, even though I've always wanted to do it. Given what we know about dye-subbing, there are doubtless a whole bunch of people out there who just "do it on the cheap" and buy the inks and sell regardless of the regulations.

The difference between "dye subbers and copyright" and "edible inkers and hygiene" is that infringing copyright won't kill anyone.

Naturally. Canon don't recommend using any inks apart from Canon inks! Same applies to all the other printer manufacturers for exactly that reason.

Sorry, I meant copyright applies to dye subbers as well as edible printer(er)s . I used to know a family that produced sandwiches for selling of the back of a van around business and they had to ensure general good hygiene conditions, such as clean areas, gloves for handling food stuffs etc. I think common sense prevails in this area, but I know from some of the larger food companies that Trading Standards keep a watchful eye on ingredients and I'm sure there is official red tape somewhere.

i think like all food preparers you'd need a basic food hygiene certificate
(although you can get them on-line and they are legal for around £25 :~)

If you got a good printer you could do it 'Del-Boy' style and print your own certificate. I am joking okay

This customer has now turned round to me and said they ordered off eBay, took delivery today. I'm bloody fuming. I won't apologise for wasting anyones time as it isn't my fault Made for an interesting discussion that I think could do with further thought.

I had something like that a few weeks ago Justin, a group wanted a specific t-shirt that required me to bring in some extra stuff to do it, they wanted 4 or 5 in total - it was worth getting in the stuff so I could see it work etc. Then after getting it all in only one of the group came back and said that the others didn't want it (but she did) and I have since found out that the others purchased what they wanted from ebay ................ with hen/stag/event t-shirts etc now I always take a deposit to cover the stuff coming in and then they clear the rest on completion.

At least it was just time I wasted on this one, not money.
