Ink runs if wet
First off, the NFC works as expected. Some of the cards come with minor, hardly visible scratches on them like other reviews said. But other then that, they work fine. However, my first print smeared when I picked up the card with a wet hand (I just washed my hands after using the bathroom). So next I did another print but waited an hour, then wetted a paper napkin with water and lightly wiped the card, but it still smeared. I noticed the green color is the one that smears but not the other colors. I tried cleaning up the smears with running alcohol which works pretty well actually. In my pictures, I printed a new card, waited an hour, then cleaned the left side of the card with rubbing alcohol. The right side I got my thumb wet with water and rubbed the green letters.Giving 5 stars since it still seems to work well and is as advertised. Pretty sure its something I'm doing or missing.I'm using a Canon TS702a with the Brainstorm ID MP printer tray.

Printable NFC Cards work well!
I ordered 20 pcs NFC printable inkjet cards, they arrived fairly fast and look great when they come out of the printer, they also program well.

Good quality NTAG215 NFC tags — but don't try to use a Samsung phone with them
OK, let's get one thing straight up front. The title of this listing says "Same NFC chip inside Nintendo Amiibo". And that's probably the major reason for anyone to want to buy these: Cloning Amiibos.So why would you want to do that? Because there is significant functionality inside many Nintendo games locked up behind Amiibos which you just plain can't get. The one you want is all sold out and Nintendo has no plans to ever make any more. Or it was never sold in your country. Or, as in the case of the Princess Daisy Amiibo, some sad little individual bought up every single one that he could get his hands on specifically in order to destroy them, apparently because he finds the concept of GIRL GAMERS frightening or threatening and thought destroying all of the Princess Daisy Amiibos would hurt girl gamers, rather than just revealing him to be a sad little loser. (No, I'm not mentioning names. You can find out easily enough, if you care.)Even if you can find the Amiibo you want, it may be up to $50-$60 new, or several hundred dollars used on eBay if it's a rare "collectible" Amiibo. And it does NOT unlock $50-$60 worth of extra gameplay. Certainly not when you paid $60 for the entire game.But anyway, the capsule summary is, yes, there are legitimate reasons why you would want to clone Amiibos, including the one you want simply being permanently out of stock forever. And so, yes, people clone Amiibos. There are limited options open to you when you say to a company "Shut up and take my money!" and the company replies "No."No, I'm not going to tell you how to do it. That would cross a line which I don't wish to cross here. Sorry, but if it's important to you, do your own research. The information is all out there. Be patient, dot the Is, cross the Ts.However, it's not giving away any proprietary secrets to state that you WILL need NTAG215 NFC tags. They are the ONLY tag that will work for this purpose. You can get them basically in two form factors: a paper-backed sticker (yeah, right, THAT's going to last well), or embedded in a plastic card. Like these ones, made by NXP and sold by TimesKey.So there's one very good reason why you might want these. There's probably others.So how good are they? Well, I haven't had a bad one out of the half-dozen or so of this shipment I have tested yet. They are shipped fast, and come in individual cellophane sleeves to protect the cards until you're ready to use them. This is a good quality product, and the seller stands behind it.There are caveats. I'm going to save you a lot of grief right now: Don't try to read or write these using a Samsung phone. Samsung uses NFC transceivers which do not strictly 100% comply with the NFC industry specifications, and they WILL NOT reliably read or write these tags. I tried four different NFC reader/writer apps on three different Samsung phones — a Galaxy S4, a Galaxy S6, and a Galaxy Note 3. None of them worked. Some combinations couldn't identify the tags at all. Others identified them as either NTAG203 (a 164-byte tag), or as Mifare Ultralight C (a 192-byte tag), instead of as the 540-byte NTAG215 tag they actually are. Then I switched to an old spare Nexus 6 with a dead cellular radio, and it read and wrote them correctly, first time, every time. So, capsule summary: Samsung phone NFC circuitry is not compatible with these tags, and it is the phone's fault, not the tags.TimesKey, the seller, is aware of this problem, by the way.So, there you go. If you need NTAG215 tags in a form factor that will stand up to handling, these are what you want. But if you don't have something OTHER than a Samsung phone to use them with, you're going to have a difficult and frustrating time. Blame Samsung for that, not NXP or TimesKey.Two Technical Thug thumbs up.

It's an NTAG215 card, does its job just fine.
I have not had any issues printing or programming them (have done 8 so far). These are inkjet cards but you need a special tray and compatible printer. I used a Brainstorm tray for $20 and a TS8120 for $55, worked perfectly, these cards are the same size. To program, I used a Nexus 6P with the NFC Tools app (if you have a 6P, just so you know, the NFC antenna is located right next to the rear camera in the camera bump). They're programmable, lockable, unlockable, reprogrammable, everything. If you need NTAG215 for Amiibos or something, or you just want to impress your friends with a fancy ID card that you can program things onto, yeah, get these.

They work
I'm able to write onto these pretty easy so far. Only done a few. I use these in my canon printer with the attachment for cards. They will feel sticky if they get wet. So if your hands are wet or damp they will feel sticky. The ink does not come off though. I do feel like a good bit of my cards are scratched. When the light hits them you can really see it. So far I have wrote a business website and a contact to them. For the price they are nice to have and use.

Great for amiibos
These are great sturdy cards and work great for making amiibos cards. My only complaint is the price.

Works well.
I bought these to place around as a scavenger hunt. When you found the card and scanned it, it took you to a web page for the next clue. Kids had a lot of fun. Cards rewrite well too.

Great item
I bought these to see how well I could make NFC business cards. With the custom print drawer for my Canon printer, I am able to print full color pictures, graphics, etc on both sides of these card and they are very easy to program with the desired information.
