IDP Americas - SMART 31S Single-Sided ID Card Printer Starter Bundle - 651527B

The SMART 31S is a fantastic entry-level printer from IDP Americas®. Perfect for smaller badging operations, the SMART 31S offers high-quality imagery, sharp text and reliable production at an affordable price. We love this printer because it is the most stress-free printer on the market. If you haven't owned an ID Printer before, plastic card printers can be very challenging. IDP Americas makes a great machine and as a manufacturer they are easy to work with! 

A friend's phrase is so true... "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the low price is forgotten."  The SMART31S is little higher than other machines, but the satisfaction you will receive from owning this machine will make you happy.

This model of the SMART 31S is a single-sided base model. It offers print speeds of up to 156 single-sided color cards per hour, enough to breeze through most basic badging operations. If you're looking for monochrome cards, the 31S can produce those at speeds of up to 720 cards per hour.

The 31S offers edge-to-edge printing at a print resolution of 300 dpi. This printer can be upgraded as your needs grow as well; optional upgrades include dual-sided printing, contact/contactless card encoders and Ethernet connectivity.

The SMART 31S is compatible with certain IDP printer ribbons with UV panels, which allow for easy printing of hidden security features on your cards.

The size of your small business doesn't matter when it comes to the IDP Smart-31 ID card printer. Rely on the easy-to-use 651527 ID printer to deliver first-class quality, increased efficiency, and a low-cost solution for your ID printing needs. This convenient value printer gives you enhanced data security, printing choices, and a compact design that leaves a very small footprint. The IDP Smart-31 is the perfect solution for access control, government ID, healthcare, membership or loyalty programs, and more.

• Simple to use with a compact design
  The IDP Smart-31 Card Printer was designed with an intuitive, user-friendly interface that will get your printing program up-to-speed in no time. The LED button on the front makes operating the printer straightforward, and with IDP's drop-in ribbon cartridges, changing your printer ribbon takes seconds. With a thoughtfully engineered chassis, this printer has a small footprint to easily fit any desktop configuration, large or small.

• Low-cost security with UV printing
  The Smart-31 651527 printer has a password verification function to provide root and user authentications. Data transmitted on USB can be encrypted and SSL Protocol on Ethernet communications is supported. For ease and flexibility, you can set a specific authorized PC for encoding and printing cards.
  With the "F" panel on the printers for the IDP Smart-31 printer contain a fluorescing panel that allows you to print images only visible with ultraviolet (UV) light, providing an additional level of security. Printing UV images or text on ID cards provides an extra security layer, because the text is not visible to the naked eye. This makes it considerably more difficult to make a counterfeit ID.

• High-quality printing & reliable data management
  Trust the IDP Smart-31 direct-to-card printer to provide your organization with professional-grade credentials. With the Smart-31 651527 printer, you'll enjoy the benefits of advanced FINE Imaging technology with exceptional-looking ID cards every time.

• Top-of-the-line warranty protection
  The Smart-31 includes a warranty plan that will ensure your card printing program is always operational, and you get the most for your money.

• 3-year Advanced Exchange Coverage
  If your printer goes down during the warranty, you won't need to deal with shipping loaner printers back-and-forth. Instead, you will simply exchange your printer for a replacement printer. The replacement printer will then be covered for the duration of your initial printer's warranty.

• 2-year Unlimited Prints/Passes Printhead Warranty
  IDP will replace blown printheads for two full years, no questions asked. The replacement printhead is covered for the duration of the initial printhead's warranty.

• Optional dual-sided printing
  When you choose dual-sided printing, it allows for more space on your ID card for your company logo, additional cardholder information, or security features. If your application requires printing on both sides of the card, the IDP Smart-31 card printer is available as a single or dual-sided ID printer. You can also choose the field-upgradeable Smart-31 Flipper unit for your dual-sided printing program. Save time and eliminate possible mechanical problems and card jamming caused by manually flipping your cards by opting for built-in dual-sided printing.

•      Optional encoding
• With the IDP 651527 printer, get feature-rich credentials for enhanced security. Combine your photo ID application with magnetic stripe, contact (ISO 7816-compliant), or contactless (MIFARE, DESFIRE, and iClass) encoding for a scalable solution that's right for your organization. Like dual-sided printing, encoding options can be added to the Smart-31 at any time.
