Happy and satisfied with our new printer! The card quality is amazing and the colors really pop. The software is a breeze to use for templates, and it's surprisingly fast. Huge thanks to Felix for being so helpful!
John was fantastic providing technical support (5/5 stars for the support) for our card printer. The printer itself is a 2.5/5 - it's fast, but the print quality for small text is not great. Also, it wouldn't give the simple error explanation of out of ribbon as to why it would no longer print. We've printed no more than 200 cards on it, so a 300-card ribbon should not be out yet. But, again, John was super patient working through the issue and eventually helped figure out what was wrong.
Byron was a pro! We had some difficulty getting the drivers to print correctly, but Byron was able to get it figured out so our cards print the way they should.
I just purchased my first printer the Evolis Primacy 2 and I was able to speak with John to set up and activate my printer.
John was very knowledgeable and patient during the process. He answered all my questions and concerns.
I definitely recommend Bodno to any business willing to step into the ID Card printing world. Their customer service and technical support are off the chart. Thank you, John!
TOP Notch Tech Support! Byron explained the process for rectifying the issue, and fixed the issue (very quickly). Byron also presented in a very professional manner, provided me with additional information to better understand some of my challenges. Thank you Byron!
