Plastic card printer Evolis Badgy200

The Evolis Badgy200 is a compact dye-sublimation/thermal transfer plastic card printer designed for easy production of professional-quality color badges. With a maximum print resolution of 260 x 300 DPI and support for standard PVC card types, the Badgy200 handles single cards or small batches and accepts up to 30 cards in its input tray. Its LED display and simple controls make it suitable for offices, schools, events, and membership organisations that need quick on-demand ID and badge printing.

Advantages

The Badgy200 combines a small footprint and low weight (1.7 kg) with reliable dye-sublimation/thermal transfer printing to deliver clear color images and text. It supports Windows and Mac systems and works from a wide AC voltage range (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz). The printer’s compact design and energy-efficient hibernation mode help reduce power consumption and transport-related emissions, and Evolis uses recycled materials where possible in production and consumables.
