The Smart 51 printer comes supplied with Easybadge Lite card printing software, developed to increase the speed and ease of plastic card printing. It's the only card printing software that combines with an App to enable the easy collection of data.
Easybadge can be downloaded onto a PC and all android devices. It is not currently compatible with a Mac but the App can be downloaded onto an iPhone (not an iPad).
Easybadge Lite stores up to 100 records in the database, after that a record is deleted as another is stored. If you need to store more then please upgrade to Easybadge Professional when ordering. If you use a Mac please order Cardpresso.
You can download EasyBadge software to trial for free here:
