You can also get it laminated. (Keep in mind that your badge expires 6 months from the day you print it, but you can print another at that time)
It’s recommended that you print it to pdf then take it, digitally, to a print shop with high quality color laser printer like Office Depot or Staples and have them print it on a thicker paper stock.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The pass background didn’t print
If you tried printing your pass to your printer or pdf and the background doesn’t show, the next step is to try selecting the “Print Background Images” option on your printer popup.
My Profile Picture isn’t showing on the the Press Badge
If you uploaded your profile picture before we added the Press Badge feature, you need to re-upload your Contributor Image on Your Profile on your dashboard.
