Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about this product.
The Badgy200 is designed as an "all-in-one" solution. It is sold as a complete kit that includes everything needed (software with database connection, 100 blank cards, and the color ribbon). It is ideal for small volumes (up to 500 cards per year), while the higher-end models (Zenius or Primacy) are bare and configured for industrial throughput or network encoding.
Yes. Unlike many professional badge creation software that only works on Windows, the Evolis Badge Studio + application is fully compatible with macOS, offering the same sleek and efficient interface.
Absolutely. Although the pack contains 100 blank white cards, you can use the Badgy200 to customize black text or barcodes on colored plastic cards, or on pre-printed badges from an external printer.
It's impossible to make a mistake! The ribbon is housed in a plastic cartridge with a physical keying feature. You open the top cover, place the cartridge in its slot, and the printer calibrates itself automatically. Your fingers never come into contact with the ink film.
No. The Badgy200 exclusively performs graphic customization (visual printing). It does not have technological encoding modules (chip or magnetic stripe). However, you can certainly print a barcode or a QR code on the card, which will be read contactlessly by a scanner connected to your computer system.
Connectivity & Software Compatibility
The integration of the Evolis Badgy200 into your point of sale or office environment has been designed to be as simple as possible. Communication occurs locally via a standard USB cable provided with the package.
Operating System Compatibility:
- Windows: Certified drivers for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11 (32 and 64-bit architectures).
- Macintosh: Optimized drivers for macOS (Mac OS X starting from version 10.6).
Turnkey Software Package included:
The printer comes with the full version of the Evolis Badge Studio + software (available for PC and Mac). This intuitive tool works with a simple "drag-and-drop" interface and allows you to create high-quality graphic layouts by integrating your logos, ID photos, variable text, as well as complex barcodes or QR codes. The included "+" version also gives you access to database management, enabling you to import an Excel or CSV file to start the automatic printing of dozens of customized badges with a single click. Additionally, a free library of themed card templates is available online for your inspiration.
Reliability & B2B Productivity
Although it is priced as the most accessible option in the Evolis range, the Badgy200 features a mechanical design of great industrial rigor. Its structure is optimized to minimize moving wear parts, ensuring maximum availability during use. The print head is solidly protected to prevent any malfunction or accidental shock during daily handling.
The management of consumables has been simplified to the maximum to eliminate any risk of human error and interruption of activity. The ink ribbon is integrated within an ergonomic protective cartridge. Upon insertion, the machine automatically identifies the type of ribbon thanks to an integrated chip and directly applies the required heating parameters. This smooth mechanism avoids direct handling of the sublimation film, eliminating waste of consumables and preserving the longevity of the device. The manufacturer certifies this reliability with a total warranty of 2 years (printer and print head).
