Tofu is a promising candidate in the development of edible printable inks in food three-dimensional (3D) printing. In this study, a mixed ink was prepared by adding starch to tofu in various ratios. Our results showed that hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess increased at an additive starch ratio greater than 30% but had no effect on the brittleness and cohesiveness. The number of layers in 3D printing also increased at that ratio and showed a high positive correlation with hardness, adhesiveness, and gumminess, but no correlation with brittleness and cohesiveness. The density at which water separation is controlled was 1.071 g/cm3, while the inflection point for physical properties was approximately 1.07 g/cm3. These results suggest that tofu containing more than 30% additive starch is a suitable material for 3D printing. However, based on the proportion of energy-providing macronutrients, tofu containing 15–25% additive starch is most nutritionally desirable. Our results indicate that tofu is a promising candidate for the development of an edible ink that promote a healthy lifestyle.
