Not Great, but not bad either,

I work at a High School and purchased this badge printer to make student IDs. I was deciding between the Badgy and the Pebble, and went with the Badgy because of its lower cost. After having had it for about five months, I'd say that it's a decent, if not spectacular product. The Badgy is well-constructed -- it's very easy to load cards into the printer, and the whole product feels very sturdy. It prints relatively quickly too -- you can do one side of a card in about 45 seconds, which is just fine as far as I'm concerned. Ribbons are easy to load, and I've never had a card jam in the printer. The Windows driver software is pretty nice too, actually -- I like that it notifies you when a ribbon has run out.

I purchased this item with the idea it would help my company. It worked the first few times I used it then it just stopped. Seems the drivers get all screwed up when you choose to print anything with your regular printer. It likes to dominate your printer drivers and BE the default printer.
Don't get me wrong, it prints nice, but it took over 4 hours to figure out the software to create a badge from scratch. I didn't like ANY of the templates they offered.
Hope you have better luck than I.

I have a coffee shop and this product has been a great tool for my business. I print my key customers loyalty/discount cards. I can keep track of how often they visit and reward them with incentives each time they come back. I also printed employee id cards that look sharp and professional.
