Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Badgy100 Silver Edition Color Plastic ID Card Printer Bundle with Complete Supplies Package and Bodno ID Software by Sfl Richardson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not Mac compatible and not good by any means

I used this to create some basic NFC business cards. After a confusing setup process, I thought I was ready to print. But my Mac didn't see the printer so I downloaded and installed the drivers. The software that came with it never recognized the printer. After 15 minutes of fiddling, I was able to get the printer up and running. However, at this point the Bodno software no longer recognized the USB stick (which you MUST plug in to ensure you are the owner of this totally unusable software). Never got it to work on my Mac. So I switched to my PC. After basically going through the same issues, the PC was finally ready to print. I prepared my illustration, made sure it was CMYK (read all the instructions to get the best print) and printed. but nothing happened. Everything checked. and apparently the ink roller that came with the printer had problems. Within an hour of learning this I was able to unroll the entire spool and then rewind it as the printer was fine. I tried again. FINALLY a card has been printed. Only the picture was very dark, soft (washed out) and the colors were quite removed. I corrected the cover, printed it and got the same result. I used the default Bodno skin and created a test badge. the same thing. SUPER dark, terribly soft, with colors quite far from my perfectly balanced screen. This is complete bullshit, I could have worked better with the marker and it would have taken less time to "figure out". I recommend looking elsewhere.
