IDP SMART-70 Simplex ID Card Printer
The IDP SMART-70 Simplex ID Card Printer is a performance-class, high-capacity ID card printing solution built for organizations that require fast throughput, reliability, and scalable system architecture. Part of the SMART-70 series from IDP Americas, this printer is ideal for government agencies, universities, large corporations, healthcare systems, and service bureaus producing employee IDs, student credentials, access control cards, loyalty cards, and secure identification programs.
The SMART-70 Simplex uses direct dye-sublimation printing technology to produce vibrant, edge-to-edge ID cards at 300 dpi resolution. It is designed for high-speed production environments, supporting output of over 200+ full-color cards per hour and up to 1,000 monochrome cards per hour depending on configuration.
A key advantage of the SMART-70 platform is its modular architecture, which allows organizations to configure and scale the system based on evolving needs. The printer can be expanded with optional modules for encoding, dual-sided printing, lamination, and high-capacity input/output hoppers, making it suitable for both centralized issuance and high-volume batch production environments.
The system is designed for durability and operational efficiency, featuring a rugged frame and high-capacity card handling (up to 500-card input hopper depending on configuration). This makes it ideal for environments where continuous, unattended printing is required.
