Badgy printers are essentially designed to print on PVC plastic cards in CR80 format. This format corresponds to that of a credit card and the dimensions are 85.6 x 54 mm.
For some cards that have a rather short lifespan, such as visitor cards or gift cards, it is possible to print on paper cards, made of cellulose fiber, available in the Badgy catalog. These cards can only be printed with the BlackFlex CBGR0500F ribbon.

YES. It’s entirely possible to use pre-printed cards and personalize them with black text using Badgy.

Badgy printers use a printing ribbon (supplied) which consists of series of 5 panels. To print a specific color on the card, the printer successively superimposes the first 3 layers (yellow, magenta and cyan) which together create the required shade, in photo quality. Black panels (to print text) and varnish (to protect the card) are then applied to the card.

YES. Both the printers and the Evolis Badge Studio® card design software are MAC and PC compatible.
