i think the common cake size is 9" so i think it'll need to be an A3 printer :(

I know nothing about them, but if you need any help with samples send them down here and I will happily comment on the print quality as long as it is attached to the bottom part :-)

Well if the cake is outside 9" then I am sure an A4 printer would do as the topper doesnt normally go right to the edge. It does seem that Canon printers tend to be favoured.

Steve, I would have a chat with Martin at BMS as they have been supplying all the things you would need to be able to do this. Good luck with the venture mate & hope it all goes great. :wink:
