Badgy200 Plastic Card Printer with Badge Studio+ ID design software for full color, custom, tamper proof ID badges in seconds

Great badge printing solution for an excellent price! The quality of these cards is quite impressive, cleaning the machine is very quick and easy, and the included software is very user-friendly yet packed with features like database card printing. I have used this printer consistently for over 8 months with absolutely no issues and would recommend it to anyone looking for an entry-level or light-use card printer.

I would stay away from this printer. I needed it to print out simple ID cards. I have informational text on the back which came out blurry, and if you are looking for EDGE TO EDGE printing, DO NOT GET THIS!!!! The ad claims the difference between the badgy 100 and 200 is that badgy 200 goes edge to edge. However after printing all my cards, they were not edge to edge printing, there was a margin as thick as the card around the entire print area! I was shocked to see that this was not actually edge to edge, so I went on the company website to look into this further, and it says CLEARLY that there is a margin with the 100 but NO ON THE 200! So I returned this printer and ordered a replacement assuming there was a defect, but no the same thing happened again! So when I called the company to ask why I was getting a margin around my entire card , and the website says NO MARGIN and EDGE TO EDGE, the customer disservice representative told me its 99% edge to edge but not fully edge to edge. I complained over the phone how they are extremely misleading and its false advertising because it clearly says edge to edge, and NO MARGIN. I then asked which of their printers are TRULY edge to edge ,and he told me none of them are. This company is running a horrible scam and they are blatantly falsely advertising the capabilities of their garbage equipment. Once again, card quality prints out blurry, random spots on it,thick unprinted margin around the entire border, and doesn't pick up the watermark I have on the cards. It is horrible. I attached an image of the poor print quality, pay attention to the blurry text on the bottom and the thick white border .

The Badgy200 was easy to setup and has been very easy to use. The software and templates are easy to use and customize to fit the needs of your company. It prints cost efficient, professional, glossy badges...and love that it prints to the edge.

This card printer was exactly what I expected. It does a great job. The setup was not the easiest but once I got it working everything was fine. Definitely buy an extra ribbon or two. When it says 100 cards, they are serious!

Got this to replace a 3500 badge printer. The pros are the small size and ease of use. The cons are it is kind of loud and it only prints single sided. I must print out the back then replace the card to print the fronts. Just an extra step, but for the cost of a duplex badge printer I can live with it. Another con could be the ribbons are rather small but this is more of a light duty badge printing and we print about 25 or less a month. There is software included with the printer to make your own badges as well as some templates. I was able to redesign using included software to match our old badges. The software is pretty limited to what you can make but was able to get it close.

I am generally satisfied with this printer. The cards are in fairly good resolution, though fine print is difficult to make out. My major issue is that after about 50 prints, the ribbon was torn within the machine. This was after just a couple weeks of very light usage, still using the original ribbon and cards that came with the printer. Given the cost of ribbons, it's very expensive to replace if I'm not getting my full 100 prints. Luckily, I ordered a spare ribbon (as a military veteran, I contend that "two is one, and one is none", so I always order an extra). Unluckily, that one was also torn within the first few prints.Generally, I like the product, but the failure rate is astronomical.

Very good unit. Prints a good quality professional looking ID. We are very pleased. Highly recommend for small businesses. We have 20 employees and generally need to reprint about 10 new IDs a year. This unit is perfect.

It’s not just expensive ,But Only takes their type of cards, couldn’t use others with the exact same size “ mechanical error”Printing quality is not as goodAnd the software is very primitive
