🖨️ CBGR0100C Badgy Color Ribbon for 100 Prints | Badgy100 & Badgy200 Review

Bad products are terrible. These cartridges are basically the tape that the Badgy machine winds up (red, yellow, and blue), but half the time the machine gets stuck on one of the colors and just skips the whole next patch of red, yellow, and blue. It's so incredibly inefficient and wasteful and such a rip off. Did I mention that Badgy products should be avoided whenever possible?

This tape works well on Badgy200 machines. When changing ribbons, it is recommended that you clean them of dust and dirt before changing the ribbon. If you don't, you may end up with a few particles under the shiny surface of your first or second printed badge. They work great. But you probably know that if you buy refill packs

Arrived on time - this is the only bad 200 band option I know of. I never got the full 100 prints - the last few always result in ribbon failure. Usually I get 94-96 cards.

I like the quality of the Badgy but the failure rate is astronomical. My original ribbon was torn in the printer before it was half used. I bought it as a replacement (I always buy a spare) and it broke after less than 10 prints. Now I can't print icons until I order a replacement again! The cost of replacement ribbons is not negligible, even if they last for 100 prints. The cost is even more unbearable when they only fit a few before the printer rips them apart.

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…

Our office bought this as a replacement when our current one ran out. When I opened it a few months later, I found it defective: the ribbon was wound the wrong way. Apparently we haven't returned it for too long. I recommend buying this elsewhere even if the price is higher than being stuck with a piece of junk.

I bought 25 of these ribbons. My only complaint is that I don't get 100 cards per cartridge, but rather 80 before I have to replace them. So far only 1 cartridge could not be read as a color cartridge by the printer and assumed it was a black cartridge which prompted me to reprint a small batch of name tags. Otherwise there are no particular problems.

I have purchased three sets of replacement ribbons, each containing 100 PVC cards. didn't work at all, the third one, I was able to print about 20 or 25 icons, then the ribbon just ripped, I thought I could fix it with tape and wind it up again, but it ripped again and again. I don't know what the problem is. If you are looking for an extra badge dyeing machine, this machine may not be for you.
