What customers say about our support...

Amazing Customer Service! Very responsive and helpful. Quickly sent a replacement unit once we determined it was a cam sensor issue.

Printer model: Magicard 300

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!

Printer model: Pronto

With a couple of email. Got the information I need to resolve my issues. Great work. Great products. Thank you.

Printer model: Magicard 600

The issue I had with the printer was resolved with speed and professionalism.

Printer model: Magicard 300

Great Job! I was impressed that the printer problems were fixed quickly and returned to me and packaged properly so it was returned to me in great condition, and nothing broke. Nice job! Thanks for your good service!

Printer model: Rio Pro
