IDP SMART-31D Reviews

Great for On Demand

By Melissa
Rated 4 out of 5

Great product for needing name badges on demand. The software is archaic, but workable. The color output is not great and can't figure out how to make the colors more vibrant. Used for employee badges with QR codes and being able to get a badge printed ASAP is great.

Easy to use

This was a very easy setup and very easy to figure out and use. We are making ID cards for our fire department and it does way more than we need. Definitely would recommend it to anyone.
