Bodno Fargo DTC1250e Single Sided ID Card Printer & Complete Supplies Package with Silver Edition Software

This printer is super simple and easy use! With a simple hook-up & software download, its a great for printing photo id's and gift cards. Highly recommend this product.

Update Feb. 12: Feb. 10 we received the part as promised without an additional fee. We haven't installed it yet due to the ice storms by us but yes did receive. So will update starts from 2 to 4. I purchased this bundle and have been able to print some basic cards. The print quality is a little dull, not very vibrant. I also contacted support about the bundle silver package I bought for further instructions on the encoding portion and more instructionsor videos as the instructionsare very very poor and limiting. I purchased this package since the description says you can encode the cards and upgraded the software to even have mire options. Upon contacting Jack at Bodno as Joe told me to for further help or video instructions Jack informed me in an email saying that I needed to purchase a $500.00 additional part for encoding. I told him nowhere in the literature does it say anything about needing additional equipment to encode your cards. It actually says the opposite that you can encode the cards. Which is what we based our decision off of for purchasing the equipment for our security ID cards. We have a useless piece of exquipment from this false advertising if that is the case. You can't advertise a claim then say pay an additional 500.00 for a piece of equipment to convert it to encode that you don't even mention. I have all the materials advertising this bundle and it says encodes and no mention of extra parts to do so. Last email was from Jack at Bodno which he asked for my order number which I provided and inquired 2xs about whom never returned my email after I gave him our order number. Update: On 1/25/19 Bodno shared they would me mailing me the necessary magnetic encoder need without cost. Awaiting arrival.

UPDATE: Raising from 1 start to 3. I contacted support (vipsupport-at-bodno.com) and received attentive care. I was having network issues, trying to print 2-sided on a one-sided machine. My bad. On the positive side, I put it thru oit's paces and it still works. My plan for handing this task off to the less-techno savvy will not work though. This thing needs attention. But the following remains true: Terrible software interface, Fragile ribbons, I'm getting really good at taping the film back together. Error signaling is weak. Some cards get stuck for no reason. Original review: Terrible software interface, resolution isn't great everything looks hazy. Color ribbon busted after 10 cards..... I didn't have time to set up and test in the return window so I'm stuck with this. Any thoughts on how to salvage? It's very expensive. Complete disconnect between software and printer. Support materials lacking. This is a cry for help.

Ray was a big help setting up my badge template. Works very well.

I've been using the Bodno application along with the DTC printer for approximately 1 year. Today I had my first issue while trying to print. I was able to simply start a chat session which referred me to a number to call when I advised it was a support issue. I called the provided number and waited about 30 seconds before I was connected with Angelo. He was not only very knowledgeable but had exemplary Customer Service skill. He explained what he needed to do and what he was doing step by step and in a very short time I am printing again. I will certainly continue to use the Bodno and DTC products if this is the type of support I can expect.

I really love this product for our company. It creates badges with excellent color. I would soon like to by the dual printer.

Jack was super helpful! Great product! Easy installation ☺️
