Badgy card printer

Badgy card printer
  • Badgy is a complete solution to print your own pla
  • Identification-card-printers
  • Black Ink Tank CLI-221
  • Badgy makes it easy to custom-design your own cards and print them in just a few seconds with photo-quality resolution

Cute gizmo, but nowhere does it warn you that 1. this is Windows only printer driver (no Mac, and no Linux support), and 2. you must have MS Excel in order to use their "software" which is nothing more than excel template with macros. Laaaame.

Not to mention, I shelled out $80 for expedited shipping (1-3 business days) on Friday evening, and it arrived after COB on Wednesday. Perhaps barely meets that definition, but disappointed nonetheless. To top it off, the price was reduced $200 within 4 days of my order.

Print quality is acceptable (not fantastic) on the sample cards included. However, I needed to print onto proximity enabled cards which are about 2x thicker and the print was terrible. It skipped a spot (probably where the RFID chip is embedded) and the whole card was glazed in yellow. Complete fail.
