Frequently Asked Questions

Evolis Badgy200 Help & Support

Clear, honest answers to the most common questions about the Badgy200 card printing system.

Does the Evolis Badgy200 print completely borderless, edge-to-edge badges?

No, it prints near-to-edge. Because the Badgy200 uses direct-to-card printing technology, the mechanical printhead must avoid hitting the sharp outer edge of the hard plastic card to prevent damage. It leaves a small white border around the very edge of your design. If your layout has a white background, this thin margin is completely invisible. For solid, dark background colours, it will appear as a tiny white outline.

Can I use the Badgy200 printer on a Mac?

Yes, absolutely. The Badgy200 is fully compatible with both Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows. The bundled Evolis Badge Studio® Plus design software and the required printer drivers are included in the box on a USB key, allowing you to install and run the system on either operating system.

What is the main difference between the Badgy100 and the Badgy200?

The Badgy200 is a significant upgrade over the entry-level Badgy100 in three major areas:

  • Print Area: The Badgy200 prints right up to the card margins (near-to-edge), while the Badgy100 leaves a very wide, thick white frame around your design.
  • Speed: The Badgy200 is much faster, printing up to 95 full-colour cards per hour compared to the Badgy100's 80 cards per hour.
  • Software: The Badgy200 includes the Plus version of Badge Studio, which allows you to import Excel or CSV databases for automatic batch printing. The Badgy100 software forces you to type every single card manually.

Can I print barcodes and QR codes with the Badgy200?

Yes, you can. The included Evolis Badge Studio Plus software features built-in tools to generate standard linear 1D barcodes and 2D QR codes. You can place them anywhere on your card design, and the printer's 300 dpi thermal printhead will ensure they are crisp and easily readable by standard scanners, smartphones, or electronic till systems.

Can the Badgy200 print on both sides of a plastic card?

The Badgy200 is a single-sided printer. It prints one side of the plastic card at a time. If you need to print information on the back of the card—such as a barcode, safety instructions, or terms and conditions—you simply let the front side finish printing, turn the card over manually, place it back into the feeder, and print the reverse side.

Why is my Badgy200 printing faint white lines across the card?

Faint white horizontal lines across a printed card are almost always caused by a speck of dust sitting on the card surface or on the printhead itself. Because dust blocks the ink from bonding with the plastic, it leaves an unprinted line. To fix this, simply run an adhesive cleaning card through the machine and use a cleaning swab on the printhead. To prevent this from happening, always keep the printer lid closed and store your blank plastic cards in a dust-free container.
