Frequently Asked Questions for the Smart 21

This IDP 21 comes with 2 years standard warranty - we also offer an additional 3 years warranty option, extending this to 5 years to ensure consistent and reliable prints all the time.



What is the print speed of the IDP Smart 21?


While the Smart 21 is a hand-fed card machine, it's still a fast id printer machine and can produce a full-colour card in 24 seconds, or a monochrome card in just 6!




Is the Smart 21 ID card printer only single sided?


Yes, the IDP smart 21 card printer is only single-sided but as it's a very affordable ID card printer, it offers great technology for smaller businesses. If you're looking for a better alternative to print on both sides of the card, take a look at our dual sided printers.




What are the dimensions of the IDP 21s?


This compact printer will fit anywhere in your environment. With the title of being the smallest card printer on the market, it measures at a 168mm (W) × 259mm (L) × 179mm (H).




Can the IDP Smart 21 print on access control cards?


As the IDP Smart 21 is a direct-to-card printer, it doesn't allow printing on access control cards, or cards with an uneven surface. If you require this, we recommend a retransfer printer, however these tend to be a more expensive solution.
