Review on πŸ–¨οΈ CBGR0100C Badgy Color Ribbon for 100 Prints | Badgy100 & Badgy200 by Vladimir Castillo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great when it works and incredibly frustrating when it doesn't. 2 out of 3 tapes had problems.

I was very lucky with my first ribbon and have used it for over 100 prints. But the second ribbon I bought started printing strangely (crooked, nothing but yellow, sometimes not at all) and then broke completely and had to be thrown away. That was probably enough for 10-15 prints. Now my third ribbon has arrived with a problem and almost broke after one print. I found that this very last tape wasn't attached directly to the rolls so it curled unevenly and stuck to the side of the roll. In this case, the ribbon wrinkled and a smooth image could not be printed. The solution was to remove the cartridge and manually rewind about 1/4 of the ribbon until it straightened up enough to work again. It seems to be working properly again, but I'm not happy that I had to spend 25% of the reel to fix a quality control error like this. I find it unacceptable for two coils to have the same problem, especially when they cost $35 each.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
