How it works

The Badgy200 connects via USB and operates like a standard office printer: users create badge layouts in the supplied Badge Studio+ software—supporting direct data import—and print directly onto loaded plastic PVC or paper cards using the ribbon cassette system. Maintenance requires periodic cleaning as indicated by the kit supplied with the bundle [1][7][9].
