The short answer: we no longer carry the Badgy100 or Badgy200. The closest complete replacement is the Bodno A10 ($995) — full-color printing with design software already in the box on a lifetime license and a similar per-card ribbon cost. The lowest-sticker option is the Seaory S25 ($899) — currently also with a lifetime Bodno software license. Still running a Badgy? Genuine ribbons remain in stock.
Why trust Bodno on this
We supported the Badgy line for years and still keep existing units printing with genuine supplies and a 100% U.S.-based support team, shipped from our New Jersey warehouse. Prices are current at the time of writing.
Still running a Badgy? Supplies are in stock
| Supply | Price | Cost per card |
|---|---|---|
| CBGR0100C color ribbon — 100 prints | $69.99 | ≈ $0.70 |
| CBGR0500K black ribbon — 500 prints | $22 | ≈ $0.04 |
There is no need to retire a Badgy that still prints well — but when it is time, here is where that budget goes furthest.
Choosing the replacement
| Printer | Price | Software | Color cost/card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bodno A10 | $995 | Included — lifetime license (Bronze Edition) | ≈ $0.65 |
| Seaory S25 | $899 | Included — currently a lifetime license | — |
| Fargo DTC1250e | $1,599 | Included — 3-year license | — |
| Bodno A20 | $1,595 | Included — lifetime license | ≈ $0.32 |
- Closest like-for-like: the Bodno A10 — the same compact single-sided full-color role the Badgy filled, but complete in one box: design software included on a lifetime license, unboxing to first card in minutes, and per-card ribbon cost slightly below the Badgy's (≈ $0.65 vs ≈ $0.70).
- Lowest sticker price: the Seaory S25 at $899 for very occasional badge runs — Bodno design software included, currently with a lifetime license.
- Name-brand alternative: the Fargo DTC1250e at $1,599 single-sided, with Bodno Bronze software included on a 3-year license.
- If the Badgy was struggling to keep up: that is the signal to move to the daily-duty Bodno A20 — its 300-print ribbon cuts color cost to about $0.32 per card, less than half the Badgy's.
Any replacement can be covered by TotalCare, our 5-year protection program ($299), which includes a loaner printer during any service.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy a Badgy100 or Badgy200?
We no longer carry either printer. We do keep genuine Badgy ribbons in stock for existing units, and our support team continues to help Badgy owners.
What is the best replacement for a Badgy100 or Badgy200?
The Bodno A10 ($995) — the same compact single-sided full-color role, with design software included on a lifetime license so the sticker price is the whole price. Teams that outgrew the Badgy's pace should step up to the Bodno A20.
How do per-card costs compare?
Badgy color prints run about $0.70 per card. The Bodno A10 comes in around $0.65, and the A20's 300-print ribbon drops it to roughly $0.32 — plus a few cents for the blank PVC card on any printer.
