Magicard Printer Supplies Bodno Software Review

Terrible product. Customer service is even worse. The product comes with a "Quick Start" page that is imprecise and barely written in English. To get features like Excel spreadsheet download, you need to pay extra $399. What you are buying here is poorly executed software to use the Magicard machine. Even when connected to the internet and using google to figure out how to use this device, the print quality was very poor. The card was not printed with a background template or another. When I…

The biggest problem we had was the software. After contacting Magicard, they gave me the number of Bodno, the software provider. The technician there took over my computer and made several attempts to fix the problem. Eventually we thought that was fixed, but then it started printing images about four times the size to fit the card. Let's come back to Bodno, but it becomes even clearer that the program and the printer do not work together properly. If the cards printed correctly, they were…

I have been tasked with updating our employee badges for a company with fewer than fifty employees. We used Microsoft Word, scissors and glue to give you an idea of the results. Setup was easy enough, although I found designing an icon with the included software to be less intuitive than other editing programs. However, I was happy to see that my first pattern printed on the first button press and no further troubleshooting was required. That was a big plus for this ID card printer! I'm not a…

I bought a refurbished printer on eBay it didn't work - had to go through the return process and send back a big old printer. I'm a sysadmin and programmer, so I'm approaching this from a technical perspective. Installing the printer drivers was seamless - they even have a label over the USB port advising that the drivers must be installed BEFORE the printer is plugged in. I appreciate it from a sysadmin point of view without words. The ribbon installed with no problems. PVC cards are clean and

During installation I was a bit confused about how to install the ink spool and I didn't find very clear diagrams in the documentation but I was able to figure it out. The included Bodno software works fine for the most part, but there is a weird quirk of the USB key that causes my computer to freeze during reboot if I don't remove the key. I think the print quality is decent for the class of printer I bought, but I had trouble getting the color grading right. Unprocessed photos tend to have a…

This is bullshit. Complete garbage. I'll categorize it as follows: Print Quality: Leaves a lot to be desired. Photos are not clear. Color matching in fine detail goes far, leaving magenta ghosting on almost anything, even after repeated roller cleaning and ribbon changes. Ease of Use - Software: The Bodno software license key is randomly deactivated, so your software license is deactivated during use. The only way to restore the full version is to reset the key in settings and then restart the…
