IDP Smart 21S ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart 21S is a compact, entry-level printer built for small organisations, schools and clubs that want to print ID cards in-house without a big upfront cost. It offers single sided card printing in 24 seconds for full colour and just 6 seconds for monochrome.Compatible ribbons: IDP Smart 21 ribbons. How It Prints The Smart 21S uses direct-to-card printing. Direct-to-card printing works by pressing the printer ribbon directly against the surface of the card as it passes under the printhead, transferring colour or black text straight onto the card in a single pass. It's the same principle as a thermal transfer label printer, just applied to a plastic card instead of paper. Because the printhead sits right against the card, it's fast and inexpensive per card. The Smart-21 feeds one PVC card at a time, fed in by hand, so it suits steady, on-demand printing rather than large unattended batches. It prints up to 150 full-colour cards an hour or 600 in monochrome, at up to 1200 dpi, which is sharp enough for photo IDs, logos and small text without looking soft or pixelated. SmartMark comes as standard with most IDP printers. This is a visible security overlay that can be customised with your own text, logo or design, making a card harder to convincingly copy or tamper with. An optional Kensington lock can also add physical security if the printer's sitting somewhere accessible rather than in a locked office. Is This the Right Printer for You? This printer doesn't encode cards and it's not suited to access control cards with an embedded chip, the chip can damage the printhead over time. If you need to encode magnetic stripe or contactless cards for door access, look at the IDP Smart 31 instead. If you're printing straightforward photo ID, membership or visitor cards without encoding, the IDP Smart ID card printer range is an excellent choice. It's one of the easiest-to-use card printers on the market and makes printing staff ID cards a really straightforward process. Software and Compatibility A free copy of EasyBadge Lite card design software comes included with this printer, which is Windows-only, as is the ID printer itself. Please note: ribbons and blank cards aren't included with this printer. Add compatible consumables to your order so you're ready to print as soon as it arrives.

IDP Smart-31 ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart 31 is a straightforward, entry-level card printer built for small businesses, schools, and organisations printing less than 100 high-quality ID cards at a time. How It Prints The Smart 31 uses IDP's FINE™ imaging technology to produce full-colour or monochrome cards with sharp detail at up to 156 full-colour cards an hour. It's built for standard photo ID: staff badges, membership cards and visitor passes, printed directly onto the card surface. A small, deliberate border stays around the edge of every card too, protecting the printhead so print quality stays sharp and consistent, card after card. With the right card design, this border is barely noticeable, and at a 300 dpi minimum, your cards look great fresh off the printer and for years afterwards. Please note: Because this is a direct-to-card printer, it's not the right printer type for access control cards; that's a job for a retransfer printer instead. This is because the embedded chip can cause blemishes as the card moves across the printer head. Choosing the Right Variant The Smart 31 comes in three configurations. The 31S is single-sided, the standard starting point for most organisations. The 31D adds double-sided printing if you need information on both sides of the card. The 31R is a rewritable, monochrome-only version: instead of using a ribbon, it wipes and reprints the same card up to 500 times, which is a useful option for temporary passes or visitor badges that change constantly, since it removes the ongoing ribbon cost entirely. Security That Punches Above Its Price PC authentication locks the printer to a specific machine, so it's no use to anyone if it's stolen, and USB data is encrypted as standard. UV ink printing adds an image or text only visible under UV light, and a customisable SmartMark watermark, using your own text, image, or logo, sits under a transparent overlay for an extra visible layer of security. With all of the built-in security, cloning a Smart 31 card convincingly is genuinely difficult. Software and Compatibility A free copy of EasyBadge Lite comes included, limited to 100 records and Windows only. If you need Mac compatibility or a higher record limit, cardPresso is the better fit and is sold separately. The printer itself connects over USB as standard, with Ethernet available as an upgrade, and it's compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10, Mac OS, and Linux. Please note: ribbon and blank cards aren't included with this printer. Add compatible consumables to your order so you're ready to print as soon as it arrives. Key Features: Direct-to-card printing, FINE™ imaging technology Print speeds up to 156 full-colour cards/hour (approx. 23 seconds per card) Available as single-sided (31S), double-sided (31D), or rewritable monochrome (31R, reusable up to 500 times) Print resolution: 300 dpi (Colour), 600 dpi / 1200 dpi (Mono) UV ink printi..

IDP Smart-51S Single-Sided ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart-51S is a mid-range, single-sided direct-to-card printer built for organisations that issue ID cards regularly and need reliable output without constant operator attention. It suits HR teams, membership clubs, schools, and anyone running a medium-volume card production programme. Print quality and speed that keep pace with your workload The Smart-51S uses dye-sublimation with IDP's Enhanced FINE™ Imaging Technology to produce full-colour photo ID cards at 300 dpi, edge to edge across the full CR80 card face. Monochrome resolution steps up to 600 or 1200 dpi for text, barcodes, and line detail that reads cleanly under a scanner. Speed is where the Smart 51 stands apart from lighter-duty card printers. Full-colour YMCKO cards print at up to 212 cards per hour. Switch to a monochrome ribbon and that rises to 720 cards per hour. That throughput is useful when you need to issue a large run of single-colour access control badges or membership cards quickly. Every card comes out dry and ready to hand over; there is no waiting for inks to cure. The input hopper holds 100 cards with the lid closed and opens to 200, so a sizeable batch runs unattended. The 40-card removable front output hopper keeps finished cards organised, and individual cards can be hand-fed when you only need one or two. Upgrade options and encoding The Smart-51S ships as a single-sided, USB-connected printer. Optional upgrades are all field-installable, so you can add capability as your programme grows rather than buying a new printer. Dual-sided printing. A flipper module converts the 51S to the 51D, printing colour on the front and black on the back in a single pass. If cards also need lamination for daily handling, the IDP Smart 51L is available separately as a ready-configured dual-sided model with the lamination module installed. Ethernet. USB is standard. Ethernet connects the printer to a shared network so multiple users can send jobs without physically accessing the machine. Encoding. Magnetic stripe encoding writes to ISO 7811 tracks for door access and time-and-attendance systems. Contactless smart card encoding covers MIFARE and other ISO 14443 formats for proximity access control cards and contactless passes. Security printing. The SmartMark feature prints a custom visible watermark, which can be text, a logo, or an image of your choice, into the overlay panel at no extra ribbon cost. UV printing adds a covert image to the card that only appears under ultraviolet light. Either feature on its own deters casual copying; both together make a card significantly harder to clone. Please note: This printer is not currently compatible with Windows 11. It supports Windows 7, 8, and 10, plus macOS and Linux.

IDP Smart 51D Dual-Sided ID Card Printer Overview Teams producing staff badges, student IDs, membership cards or access control badges on a single-sided printer have to flip and re-feed every card by hand. The IDP Smart 51D removes that step entirely. Its built-in flipper module handles front-and-back printing automatically in a single pass, so your team loads cards once and collects finished, two-sided credentials from the output hopper. It is IDP Corporation's mid-range ID card printer platform, built on the proven Smart 51 series, and it suits teams running regular batches rather than the occasional one-off double-sided card.

That matters because precise ribbon movement is what keeps colour gradients smooth and text edges sharp on a direct-to-card printer. IDP's FINE™ Imaging Technology and a new high-performance CPU optimise that ribbon movement together. So cards come out consistently across an entire batch rather than drifting in quality as the hopper empties. Print speeds are 212 full-colour cards per hour in single-sided mode (YMCKO ribbon) and 164 dual-sided colour cards per hour (YMCKOK ribbon). Monochrome-only jobs reach 720 cards per hour. At those rates, a school issuing 500 dual-sided student IDs can complete the run in around three hours. The input hopper holds 100 cards and extends to 200 when you open the cover, so longer runs don't require constant reloading. Resolution is 300 dpi for both colour and monochrome work. For mono-only jobs where fine text or barcodes need to be razor-sharp, 600 and ..
