Has anyone heard of a digital flower printer? I think it is a printer that prints photos on real flowers??? If there is anyone out there that has used one I would be interested in your comments on it? Grin

I haven't used it but saw two men operating one at Sydney Markets just before Valentines Day. It looks like a normal printer with a little alcove in which the flower (they used roses) is placed, it only took a matter of minutes to print but of course then they need time and space to dry. The control centre was a laptop, pretty amazing technology .... poor little flowers though Cry

There is a reference to an Australian group that sells them under Pro Printing in the trade directory on Bloomsta

I saw an advertisement in the Modern Wedding Flowers magazine (8th edition) - this business embosses messages and images on flowers. www.speakingroses.com.au. 1300 767 302.
Maybe they could point you in the right direction.

I guess one of the things that intrigues me is - what does one charge for this service and would it replay the investment in the machinery?
Somewhere in the US magazines, I have seen printers that print onto ribbon which can then be used to tie arrangements and bouquets.

I would think one would sell a lot more printed ribbon than printed flowers?

Is that thinking right?

Did you ever find a floral printer? If so, is it working like you want it to? I have been researching this topic for about a month now and find the response to printing on flowers to be 50/50. Now I am just wondering about the quality or cost to print on flower. Any comments from anyone?

We didn't ever try this so have no idea how it might go.
Cheers
