Product details
IDP Smart 32 ID Card Printer
The IDP SMART-32S combines fast, full-colour ID card printing with automatic card feeding and flexible connectivity. It prints up to 260 colour cards per hour at 300 dpi, while its 350-print YMCKO ribbon capacity reduces the frequency of ribbon changes during larger printing runs. The 80-card input hopper, removable output hopper and built-in USB and Ethernet connections make it practical for everyday staff ID and visitor badge printing. Optional double-sided printing and card encoding provide additional flexibility for organisations with more complex identification requirements.
Key Benefits
The IDP SMART-32S ID Card Printer is a desktop printer for organisations that need to produce staff ID cards, visitor badges and membership cards in-house.
Manufactured by IDP Corporation, the SMART-32S uses direct-to-card dye-sublimation technology to produce full-colour plastic cards at 300 dpi, with speeds of up to 260 colour cards per hour.
It features automatic card feeding, an 80-card input hopper, USB and Ethernet connectivity, and support for compatible PVC, PET and composite PVC cards.
The SMART-32S is suited to facilities teams managing everyday employee identification, new starter badges and replacement ID cards.
Key Benefits of the IDP SMART-32S
Fast, Full-Colour ID Card Printing
The IDP SMART-32S prints single-sided plastic ID cards using direct-to-card dye-sublimation technology.
It delivers manufacturer-rated speeds of:
- Up to 260 full-colour cards per hour using a YMCKO ribbon
- Up to 720 monochrome cards per hour
The printer supports 300 dpi colour and monochrome printing, with 600 dpi and 1200 dpi modes available for monochrome printing.
This makes it suitable for producing cards containing employee photographs, names, company logos, barcodes and identification details.
350-Print Colour Ribbon Capacity
The SMART-32S supports YMCKO colour ribbons with a capacity of 350 prints per roll.
This allows organisations to produce multiple full-colour ID cards before replacing the ribbon.
Automatic Card Feeding
The SMART-32S includes an automatic card feeder with an 80-card input capacity and a removable 25-card output hopper.
This allows facilities teams to prepare batches of employee ID cards without manually feeding every blank card.
USB and Ethernet Connectivity
The SMART-32S includes USB and built-in Ethernet connectivity.
USB provides a connection to an individual workstation, while Ethernet allows installation within a compatible workplace network. Wi-Fi connectivity is available as an optional configuration.
Optional Double-Sided Printing
The standard SMART-32S prints on one side of a card.
Double-sided printing is available with an optional flipper module.
This allows organisations to add printed information to the reverse of compatible ID cards when required.
The double-sided printing module is not included with the standard single-sided configuration.
Optional Magnetic Stripe and Smart Card Encoding
The SMART-32S supports optional encoding configurations for compatible electronic cards.
Manufacturer-listed encoding options include:
- Magnetic stripe encoding, including Hi-Co and Lo-Co
- ISO 7811 tracks I, II and III
- ISO 7816 contact smart cards
- MIFARE contactless cards
- ISO 14443 Type A and B
- ISO 15693
- DESFire
- iCLASS
These options are relevant to organisations producing cards for compatible access control and identification systems.
