do you think I could use this printer to print name badges at an event?

Yes you could. It is a very good durable little printer. The newest version of the Canon pixma ip90 is the Canon Pixma ip100 it is just as good of product. Same basic printer just the upgrade of it. Either printer would be great for the application you have in mind.

I have not printed name badges..I have printed mailing labels, great protable printer bluetooth with battery.

That printer quit on me five years ago. I don't know if you can print name badges or not.

Sure, I use card stock and don't change any settings, but I usually only put in one or two sheets at a time. You should be able to use the "labels" that are the right size and have the perforated edges. Just remember to put the sheets in face side down if there is a difference on how the sheets look front and back.

Perfect for travel. Small as my iPad and yet produces full size pages. Not speedy, about 10 pages per min. But very good quality printing.

I'm sure this printer would work fine. I am not sure it would be the best choice. Only back and white. Also, not sure how creative you can be with the software. You may want to consider a color printer and Avery labels. Would be more flexable and give you the ability to be more creative.

Most probably. I had an inkjet when I printed them & I don't know that there's much difference between the two types of printers.

Yes, but you'll need an app based on your specific printer. I use HP ePrint for my HP printer.

I got mine printed at a local printery. If you have a decent printer it can work. The paper is thicker than the regular office printing paper, but it's not heavy. Take it from me you will not regret it. I used mine at my wedding for my programs & everyone loved them.

Yes it's possible just when you print, send it to the right printer (make sure the printer is on) to print the necessary job.

Yes, but don't buy it because as I have found you can only use it by tricking it with paypal and you can use it with Etsy. Get a Zebra printer. They are supported by more shipping companies. I LOVE my Dymo, but it is frustrating due to inability to use with many shippers.

if your document properly formatted I do not see why it would not. but keep in mind that this printer is hard to program and need precise formatting.

The printer does not come with software. You need to purchase badge printing software which can be as low as $50.00 up to $2500.00. It took me three days to figure out which software would meet our needs. Just make sure you by software that will allow you import more than 100 records and will accept or link to excel.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

Yes, absolutely, assuming the printer will adjust to accommodate the paper size. Yes, I use Crane (Cotton) papers (x35 yrs) and print my name, address, and or logo on it with inkjet or laser printer.

Hi Mike,The question can be answered many ways, there are cheaper alternatives out there such as offbrand labels, but just a reminder, this is a THERMAL printer so your options other than offbrand labels are limited

This printer will print what ever you design for it to print, however it does not do the magnetic barcode printing. Meaning you cannot use it for key cards (hotel type, etc.) If your reader can scan barcodes from printed materials that are not magnetic, then yes

These are not a printable card. The cards are clamshell and to fat for most badge printers.

Yes, you should be able to do that. I have an HP printer and can do it without any problem.

Your chances are good, but to be sure you might borrow a USB cable from a printer and verify that it plugs into your machine. If so, then you should be able to use this cable which is a typical printer cable.

Yes....We use it in a Retail environment. One tray prints on blue paper and the other yellow. Just set it up in the printer properties or your software.
