Colour Disclaimer & Interactive Colour Preview Tool
At Edible Final Touch, we always try to print your design as close as possible to the file you provide. However, edible printing will not match a phone, tablet, or computer screen exactly. This page explains why, how to reduce colour surprises, and gives you an interactive colour tool to preview RGB, HEX, and estimated CMYK values.
Interactive Colour Converter & Preview
Use this tool to pick a colour, type a HEX code, adjust RGB sliders, and see an estimated CMYK conversion for reference.
Why colours look different from screen to print
- Screens emit light. Printed edible sheets do not. This alone makes screen colours appear brighter and more vibrant.
- Each device is different. iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, tablets, and external monitors can all show the same file differently.
- Screen settings change colour. True Tone, Night Shift, Night Light, blue-light filters, vivid mode, and display warmth all affect what you see.
- Edible inks are not the same as standard inks. They usually print softer, less saturated, and more matte than commercial print.
- Edible paper changes output. Icing sheets, wafer paper, drink toppers, and other edible media all receive colour differently.
- Lighting matters. Daylight, warm indoor bulbs, venue lighting, and photography can all change perceived colour.
- Metallic and fluorescent effects are limited. Gold, silver, chrome, neon, glow, and reflective effects are not reproduced as true metallic or fluorescent finishes in edible printing.
How to avoid colour surprises
1) Prepare your file properly
- Send the original artwork file whenever possible.
- Avoid screenshots, social media downloads, and photos of a screen.
- Use high-resolution PNG, PDF, or high-quality JPG.
- Use sRGB as the file colour space when possible for artwork shared online.
- Embed a colour profile if your software allows it.
- Do not over-edit or repeatedly save the same file, which can reduce image quality.
2) Check your screen before approving artwork
- Turn off True Tone, Night Shift, Night Light, and other warm-colour filters.
- Set screen brightness to a moderate level rather than very high brightness.
- Review the file in balanced daylight or neutral indoor light.
- If you can, compare the same file on more than one device.
3) If colour is critical for a logo or brand
- Let us know colour accuracy is important before production.
- Provide the cleanest source file available.
- Vector PDF or transparent PNG is preferred for logos.
- Understand that edible printing still has limitations and exact matching cannot be guaranteed.
- If timing allows, ask about a test print or sample first.

the icing was ok Easy to put on the cookies. The only issue is to have to cut them which was a challenge
the wafers didn't stick well.
Great service and the icing image was perfect definitely will use again
Fantastic service and quality. Having just moved back home to Canada (Alberta), I was scrambling to find someone to make an edible image for my 16-year-old daughterās very specific cake request! Edible Final Touch came through with efficient service and fantastic quality. Will definitely use again for my next kids birthday or when I manage to get my baking business back up and running!
I was absolutely delighted with the service that I received and the quality of product. I have used edible images for cake decorating in the past and have never had images this crisp and clear before! The colors were so vibrant, images beyond perfection, packaging was fantastic and just extremely happy with every aspect of my order.
So helpful. Whenever I order from here they are always so quick with their responses and always there to help you with your needs. I order often and I am so impressed with the quality of the prints. Wouldnāt go anywhere else. Thank you for always going above and beyond.
Loved the cake topper! Thanks for quick service!
Excellent service, fast and high quality
I've been using Ebible Final touch for years, for all my edible image needs. I use to live in the city but I moved to another city & STILL I drive back to Hamilton just to get my edible images done by them!! The photos always turn out great, and they even cut them out for you so you just peel and stick. Makes life so much easier ! They always double check to make sure you like the size and design before they print, excellent customer service. Plus they are super friendly and kind. I will always go to them for as long as I need edible images done. Highly recommend. š
Thank you so much, Jackalyn, for your continued support over the years. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. Weāre incredibly grateful that even after moving, you still make the drive to come back to us for your edible images. It means so much to know you trust our work, from the print quality to the pre-cut service and double-checking the size and design before printing. Thank you again for your loyalty, kindness, and recommendation ā we always love working with you and look forward to helping you anytime you need us.
Really happy with the product. They were fast to create it, and communicated with me quickly and easily, including suggesting some enhancements that improved the image. Pick up is at a residential home, not a business, so when picking up, email them to notify of arrival to minimize wait time in the lobby or outside. Thanks for the great item, glad to support a small local business. I'll use you again in future.
Thank you so much, Nicole, for your thoughtful review and kind support. Weāre so happy you were pleased with the edible topper and that our suggestions helped improve the final image. We also truly appreciate you mentioning the pickup note for future customers. It means a lot to us that you chose to support our small local business, and weād be absolutely happy to help you again anytime.

Living in rural Nova Scotia, finding someone to make a cake with prints was going to be an impossible feat.
They either did not have the printer or could only print a certain size etc.
My daughter had requested a cake with prints of her favorite animƩ character and I was running out of options.
Looking online was discouraging since most companies were charging a ridiculous amount for a very limited printing options.
Found Edible Touch while browsing and I thought it was too good to be true!
Uploading pictures was easy-- you get to see and approve before submitting.
I received my order -- which had been completed same day-- in less than a week.
It was professionally packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
As for the product itself, it's better than I imagined.
Images are clear, the colors nice and bright, true to the animƩ character.
I will be a returning customer and would recommend to friends and family without hesitation!
My daughter will be over the moon!
