What the Badgy100 does

The Evolis Badgy100 is a desktop card printer designed for on-demand creation of plastic identification badges. It prints colour cards in 45 seconds and monochrome cards in 16 seconds at 300 dpi resolution. The package includes the printer, design software, a colour ribbon for 50 prints, 50 PVC cards and the necessary USB 2.0 and power cables. It suits small organisations needing professional credentials immediately.

Who should consider it and who should not

This solution fits offices, schools or clubs that issue up to 40 cards per batch using the integrated feeder and output hopper. It works with both PC and Mac via USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0 ports. Buyers who need higher-volume continuous printing, larger card capacity or encoded magnetic stripe and smart card functions should look at more advanced systems.

Print speed and border detail

Colour output takes 45 seconds per card while monochrome output takes 16 seconds per card. The printer achieves a 300 dpi print resolution with a small 1.35 mm border for a near edge-to-edge finish. Internal memory is 16 MB and connectivity is provided through a USB 2.0 interface compatible with USB 1.1 and 3.0 hosts.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Badgy100 to my computer and which driver step is often missed?

Use the supplied USB 2.0 cable; the printer works with USB 1.1 and 3.0 ports on both PC and Mac, but you must install the ID design software before plugging the printer in or the driver will not load.

Which consumables will I need to replace and how often?

The box includes a colour ribbon good for 50 prints and 50 PVC cards; after those 50 cards you must buy a new ribbon and more cards to keep printing.

What limits continuous batch printing on the Badgy100?

The 40-card feeder and matching 40-card output hopper are the first bottleneck; once they empty you must reload cards before the printer can continue.
