The IDP SMART-31S Single-Sided ID Card Printer EasyLoad Kit utilizes direct dye sublimation to produce sharp images at resolutions of 300, 600, and 1200 dpi. It offers single-sided printing in a compact package that only weighs 7.5 pounds. Boosted speeds of up to 720 cards per hour are possible when using monochrome ribbons, while full-color printing can be achieved at a rate of 156 cards per hour. The printer accepts standard CR-80 size cards with thickness of 15 or 30 mil. The input hopper accepts up to 80 cards. The output hopper supports up to 25 cards. The printer connects to a computer via USB for managing jobs.
The EasyLoad kit includes a pre-installed YMCKO ribbon, one cleaning card kit, and a 100-card pack.
Note: this printer's ID card design software is compatible only with Windows operating systems. Mac OS and other operating systems require third-party software, such as CardPresso, for ID card design.
