Primera includes a free copy of BarTender with every Eddie. To receive that free copy follow these instructions.
If for some reason BarTender does not work for you there are many other great options. You can use any program to print to Eddie! Here are some recommendations:
For PC:
Eddie Cookie Pro. The new Eddie CookiePro software is specially designed to print to the Primera Eddie Edible Ink printer. It fits nicely into your workflow, especially if you use Canva and need a printing application. We recommend this software for beginners. (Included in the Standard Installer) Video Tutorial.
Canva. This free online software allows you to create graphics and export them as PDFs. You can use built-in templates. We suggest using a Circle Sticker template for cookies. Make sure to set your background to white so it doesn't print. When you are ready, export/download the file as a PDF and open it with Adobe Reader to print (Adobe Reader is also a free program).
Corel Draw Essentials($129) is a great option. It is a powerful graphics program that has been around for over 20 years. Use the power clip feature to clip a circle or any shape that corresponds to your cookie. It removes the graphics from the outside and only prints what is visible inside. The upgraded Pro graphics suite has a 30-day free trial.
