IDP SMART-51 ID Card Printer is a professional-grade solution designed for organisations that need a robust, high-performance card printer. Its rugged metal frame ensures durability and stable printing over time, making it well suited for medium-to-high volume environments such as corporate offices, educational institutions, and secure access control operations.

This printer supports automatic card feeding, helping you run batch print jobs without constant supervision. It delivers crisp, full-color cards at 300 dpi thanks to IDP’s FINE™ imaging technology, and it can also produce high-quality monochrome cards at up to 1200 dpi. With speeds of around 212 cards per hour for single-sided color (YMCKO) and up to 720 monochrome cards per hour, the IDP SMART-51 ID Card Printer offers fast throughput for busy badge-issuing workflows.

Flexibility is a highlight: the printer comes in single‑sided (SMART‑51S), dual‑sided (SMART‑51D), and dual‑sided with lamination (SMART‑51L) variants. This lets you choose the right model based on your needs, whether you’re issuing employee IDs, student cards, or long-lasting laminated credentials.

Security is built in. You can add magnetic stripe encoding, contact smart card encoding, or contactless encoding (MIFARE, DESFire, iCLASS, etc.). There’s also support for UV printing, SMARTMark watermarking, and optional physical locking mechanisms like a Kensington-style lock for the printer.

Connectivity includes USB by default, with options for Ethernet or Wi‑Fi depending on the model. The printer runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its large 200-card input hopper (with open cover) and optional rear-side stacker make it efficient to operate during busy printing sessions.
