Questions

Questions we get asked

Which printer should a plant start with?
The dual-sided Bodno A30 at $1,995 fits most plants. If you only print one side, the Bodno A20 at $1,595 has a card hopper for batches. For sharper photos and 5-year Bodno TotalCare, choose the Bodno A40 Pro at $2,995.
Can we color-code badges by shift or department?
Yes. Make one badge design per shift or department in Bodno ID Card Software and change the color band. Each group prints from its own design.
Can we print badges from our HR list?
Yes. The Silver Edition of Bodno ID Card Software and up imports a list from Excel or CSV, so you can print a whole shift in one batch.
Can our badges open doors or work with our time clock?
If your system reads magnetic stripes, add the A-Series Magnetic Stripe Encoder. For contact or contactless smart cards, add the A-Series Smart Card Encoder. Using prox cards? Email us your access system and card type before you order, and we will tell you what fits.
Do you accept purchase orders and Net 30?
Yes. Email your PO to sales@bodno.com and our team processes the order. Tax-exempt? Send your exemption form once to Tax@Bodno.com before your first order.
What if a printer goes down?
Every printer here includes coverage, shown on each printer above. If it fails under coverage, we send a next-day swap.
Can we trade in our old printer?
Yes. Trade in any ID card printer, any brand, any condition. We send a free prepaid label, and your trade-in rebate goes back to your original payment method within 7 business days of receiving it.
