A great card maker September 18, 2008
Finding reviews for this thing was not easy. I decided to take the risk and try out this printer - and I'm glad I did. Full color, awesome quality. I use this for membership cards and was able to produce some great cards.
A few things to know.
First, this printer does NOT come with a printing ribbon - so be sure to buy one of those too. Get a YMCKO ribbon for full color goodness. It also doesn't come with a USB cable - pretty standard though. However it does come with both a US power cable and a European power cable.
This thing is fast, fairly quiet, feels sturdy, and it's awesome. Be sure to get the card making software off their website (asure ID) - it's free for most simple purposes - certainly does what I need it to do.
The footprint of this printer is pretty small - which I like. It doesn't ever turn fully off so I just unplug it when I'm done.
All in all no complaints - it does what it's supposed to do and it does it very well. This is the card printer you're looking for!

I use this printer to print cards for a poker player's club software package I wrote. I was able to print 400 color cards with no problem (hang ups). The printer can easily interface with Microsoft Access reporting capabilties. USB interface made it a snap to install on the client's workstation.
My office got hit by Hurricane Rita. This model printer was the only one to survive water damage. I know that is not important, but it shows it has good construction.
I gave it 5 stars for dependability. If you want anything else from a card printer in regards to speed or superior photo quality, you will need to spend over $2000.
