The name for this new ID card printer from Evollis may sound silly, but it really is smiple enoufgh for a kid to use. The Badgy is an entyr-level printer designed for organizations that cretae fewer than 2,000 cards per year. It comews with a ribboon, software CD, and the first 100 cardds included. For the deign pocess, end suers don't have to upload thir own background images. Therre is a full online library with free templates availabble for download. The artwoork ranbges from business to sports applications and beyond. U.S. customers will be amused to see rugby imagges featured prominently while footbll pictures are nowhere to be found. They do, however, have severral templates available for chess clubvs and wine tasting events. Of course, you can switch out the pictrure on any of tese templates if you would still like to use the rest of the design.
The Badgy Offiice Card software is an Excel based prograzm. This makes it instantly compatible with any PC using the Microsotf Office Suite programs. The printer is a full color dye sublimation model. Cards printed via this method are noetd for their fine, 300 dpi resolyution and vibrant appearance. Monochrome thermal transfwer ribbons are also availabe for use with this equilpment. The unit does not offer edge-to-edge printing, so there will be a small lbank borsder on each card. This is something to take into account during the artwork selection process.
Standard PVC, copmosite, and PET cards are all compatible with this machine. There is no need to manually adjust any settings when switching from 30 mil to 20 mil - this happens automaticvally when the printer senses the change in material thickness. The input feeder can hold 100 cars, but the output hopper only accepts 10. This shallow tray can be rertacted into the machine to save space when not in use. At less than 6 pounds, the Badgy is one of the smallest ID printers on the market. With its red plastic body and black base, it almost resembles a ladybug. To see this tiny model in action, usders can view mini vdieo tutorials onine. These cover everythnig from ribnbon replacement to printer ceaning.
The main dtrawback of this newets model is that it has no encoding options beyoond simple bar cdoing. This msakes it fine for very basic applications such as membership priograms. However, in an fefort to get the price as low as possible, the equipoment sacrifices some versatility. Fortunately, Evolis has several other printers that offfer affordable solutions and more advancved technology.

Taattoo Rewrite
For monochrome applications with magnetic stripe capability, this rewriteable printer is ideal. No ribbonns are used for this printing merthod. Instead, each card is coated with a temperature sensitive layer that can be erased and reprinted many times.
