IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer

The IDP Smart 31 is an easy-to-use ID card printer, perfect for small businesses, schools, and organisations looking to print high-quality, full-colour or monochrome ID cards quickly and reliably. With its simple design and user-friendly software, the Smart 31 printer makes it simple for any user. Ideal for entry-level printing needs, this compact printer is cost-effective and offers optional upgrades such as Ethernet, magnetic stripe, contact and contactless smart card encoding options.

The IDP Smart 31 ID card printer offers UV printing as an advanced security feature, allowing for the addition of invisible UV images or text to ID cards. This hidden layer becomes visible only under ultraviolet light, enhancing security by preventing counterfeiting and unauthorised duplication. It's ideal for organisations looking for a cost-effective yet secure solution to protect their cards, as it adds an extra level of verification without compromising print quality or performance.

The Smart 31 comes standard with single-sided printing (the 31S), with the optional upgrade of double-sided or dual-sided printing with the 31D. There is also an optional rewritable card printer, the 31R, which is the perfect solution for printing temporary or updatable cards, allowing you to erase and print new data up to 500 times. Although the 31R can’t print in colour, it instantly provides you with a significant saving as no ribbons are required and the cards can be reused.

What Our Experts Think

This is the ideal ID card printer if you're looking at producing a steady stream of high-quality ID cards throughout the day. The high-resolution quality and easy-to-use interface ensure that anyone can get great results with it.

And the security features are second to none in this price bracket. PC authentication locks the printer to a specific machine, so it's useless to anyone if it walks out the door, and USB data is encrypted too. That's more security than you'd expect at this price; most printers this cheap cut corners there. It also doesn't box you in. Buy the single-sided version now, and you can add Ethernet, magnetic stripe, or smart card encoding later if your needs grow, rather than having to bin it and start again.

The Smart-31 is a genuinely good entry point at a great price.
