01 Printer and Functionality

What exactly is the Coloranino® beverage printer?

The Coloranino® is a professional printer that prints custom designs directly onto suitable beverage and food surfaces. For example, you can print logos, photos, selfies, text, or QR codes on milk foam, cocktails, beer, desserts, or pastries.

The Coloranino® is not a coffee machine and does not prepare any drinks itself. It only prints on the surface of already prepared drinks or food.
Is the printer usable even without prior technical knowledge?

Yes. The printer was designed for easy operation in the everyday environment of restaurants, hotels, businesses, and events. A design is selected or uploaded, then the beverage is positioned, and printing is started.

Installation typically takes less than ten minutes. No complicated technical training is required.

How long does a print job take?

The PRO version takes approximately 6 to 10 seconds per print , depending on the image and settings . The standard version takes approximately 20 to 30 seconds.

The PRO version is therefore particularly suitable for catering, trade fairs, larger events and applications with high visitor traffic.

How large can a design be printed?

Depending on the cup, glass or surface used, a print diameter of approximately 4 to 10 centimeters is possible.

The height of the container used can be approximately between 3 and 19 centimeters.

Does the printer automatically detect the height of the drink?

Yes. An integrated sensor detects the surface and automatically positions the printing area. This allows different cups and suitable glasses to be used.

Glasses should be filled as close to the top edge as possible so that the distance to the print nozzle is small enough and a clean print result is achieved.

How big and heavy is the printer?

The Coloranino® is approximately 34 cm deep, 18 cm wide, and 42 cm high . It weighs approximately 11 kg.

Its compact design allows it to be placed on counters, exhibition stands, buffets or mobile beverage stations.

02 Motifs, drinks and food

What designs can I print?

You can print company logos, photos, selfies, lettering, campaign motifs, greeting messages and QR codes, among other things.

Common image files such as JPEG and PNG files can be uploaded and used for printing. Frequently used images can be saved and then selected repeatedly.

Can each guest upload their own photo?

Yes. A unique QR code can be displayed via the browser-based web app. Guests scan this with their smartphone and then upload their own photo or design.

This makes the printer particularly suitable for selfie campaigns, trade fairs, company parties, weddings, product launches and interactive marketing campaigns.

Which drinks can be printed on?

Drinks with a flat, stable surface are particularly suitable. These include, for example:

  • Cappuccino and coffee with milk foam
  • Latte macchiato with a suitable foam surface
  • Beer with a stable head of beer foam
  • Cocktails with a suitable foam or cream surface
  • Non-alcoholic drinks with a stable surface
Which food products can be printed on?

Besides beverages, many food surfaces that are as flat and not too moist as possible can be printed on, for example:

  • Cookies and biscuits
  • Macarons
  • marshmallows
  • Desserts
  • biscuits
  • Burger buns and other suitable food surfaces

The actual printing result depends on the nature, moisture and evenness of the respective surface.

Can printing be done on any surface?

No. The surface should be as flat as possible, sufficiently firm, and not too far from the print nozzle. Very uneven, heavily moist, or deeply embedded surfaces can impair the result.

For beverages, a smooth foam or cream surface is particularly important.

03 Food-grade cartridges and full cost transparency

Buy once. Use whenever you want. No ongoing fees.

You receive the Coloranino® as a complete and ready-to-use package. There are no monthly software fees, no license costs, no long-term contract commitment, and no mandatory maintenance or service agreement. Ongoing costs only arise when you need new food-grade cartridges and actually print.

Monthly basic fee0 €
Software subscription0 €
License costs0 €
Costs incurred during non-use0 €
Mandatory maintenance contractNot mandatory
Single food cartridge€ 89 net
5-pack food-grade cartridges€ 369 net
Price per cartridge in a pack of 5€ 73,80 net
Cost per print / advertisementapproximately 7,38 cents

Example calculation based on a package price of €369 for five food-grade ink cartridges and approximately 1.000 prints per cartridge. Actual consumption depends on factors such as print size, ink coverage, print intensity, and print type.

What colors does the Coloranino® print with?

The Coloranino® uses food-grade cartridges. Depending on the chosen variant, brown, red, blue, yellow, and black are among the available colors.

Food-grade cartridges are offered for the EU in accordance with the relevant European requirements. Additional internationally suitable variants are available for other markets.

You can find more information on our Ingredients and Instructions page.

Does food coloring change the taste?

No. The food-grade ink contained in the food-grade cartridges is tasteless and does not alter the taste or aroma of the printed drinks or foods.

This makes it versatile for use on coffee, cocktails, beer, desserts, pastries and many other suitable food surfaces.

How many prints are possible with one food-grade ink cartridge?

One food-grade ink cartridge is sufficient for approximately 1.000 prints . A pack of 5 cartridges is therefore theoretically enough for approximately 5.000 individual prints.

The actual range depends on the motif size, color coverage, print intensity and the specific print motif.

How much do the food-grade cartridges cost?

A single food-grade cartridge costs €89 net . You don't have to buy a pack of 5 and can always reorder cartridges individually.

If you print regularly, the 5-pack for €369 net is the more economical option. That equates to €73,80 net per cartridge.

You only order new cartridges when you actually need them. There is no cartridge subscription, no regular purchase obligation, and no long-term contract.

How much does a single print or individual advertisement cost?

When purchasing the 5-pack, the calculated ink costs for approximately 1.000 prints per cartridge are about 7,38 cents per print or advertisement.

When purchasing a single cartridge for €89 net, the calculated ink costs for around 1.000 prints are approximately 8,90 cents per print or advertisement.

This turns every printed beverage or food item into a personal advertising space with manageable consumption costs – for example, for your logo, a QR code, a campaign, or an individual guest design.

The actual price per print may vary depending on the design size, color coverage, print intensity and the number of prints achieved.
What ongoing costs will arise after the purchase?

After purchase, there are no monthly basic fees, no paid software subscriptions, no additional license costs, and no mandatory service or maintenance contracts.

Ongoing costs arise solely from new food-grade ink cartridges when you actually print. If the printer is not used for several weeks or months, there are no fixed costs during this time.

  • No monthly fees
  • No software or licensing costs
  • No fees for seasonal use
  • Cartridges only when actually needed
  • Full control over your follow-up costs
Is the printer delivered as a complete package?

Yes. Your printer will be delivered as a complete and ready-to-use package. Even before you buy it, you'll know which components are included and what the potential operating costs might be.

You don't need a paid software subscription, an additional license, or a mandatory maintenance contract. You only order new food cartridges when you actually need them.

A coffee machine, drinks or a milk frother are not included in the complete printer package.
How does the worldwide cartridge after-sales service work?

You can reorder food-grade cartridges at any time without a subscription. We ship daily and deliver cartridges worldwide, usually within a few days, depending on the destination country and shipping service.

This ensures a fast and reliable supply of consumables even after your purchase. You can reorder cartridges at any time via our cartridge shop.

04 Software, QR code and internet

Do I need an app?

No. Image transfer can be done via a browser-based web app. Guests or employees can scan the displayed QR code with their smartphone and then upload the desired image via the browser.

Does the printer require Wi-Fi?

Previously saved images can be reused even without an active internet connection.

Can the printer be used without an internet connection?

Yes. Designs can be saved in advance and then reprinted offline.

Additionally, the included selfie camera can be used via USB. This allows for spontaneous photo shoots even without a Wi-Fi connection.

Can I automatically place my logo under every photo?

Yes. The watermark function allows you to automatically combine your company logo with an uploaded image.

This is particularly suitable for trade fairs, company events, promotional campaigns and selfie campaigns, where each image should simultaneously showcase your brand.
