The IDP Smart-51 ID card printer, an upgrade from the Smart-50, is faster and more efficient so you can print professional ID cards with confidence.
User-Friendly Modular DesignWith so many options, it's easy to customize the Smart-51 to meet your organization's specific needs. This allows you to get only the features you need without paying for expensive upgrades you may not use.
The base model comes as a single-sided, USB, non-encoding printer but you can choose to add dual-sided printing, Ethernet, and even lamination.
Convenient Batch PrintingThe Smart-51 ID card printer comes with a 100-card input hopper and a 40-card output hopper, so you can quickly and easily print small to mid-sized batches of cards without having to stop frequently to load new cards. If you need to print a card or two, there's also an option to hand-feed single cards.
And with fast print speeds, batch printing will take only minutes - you can print full-color cards in only 17 seconds per card (a one-second improvement over the Smart-50). For monochrome cards, it will take five seconds, and for dual-sided full-color cards (black on the back) it only takes 22 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What printing speed can I expect from the IDP Smart-51D printer?
The IDP Smart-51D produces up to 212 full-color ID cards per hour, making it an excellent choice for small- to mid-size card issuance programs. This high-speed performance is coupled with a substantially larger card loading capacity of up to 200 cards when the cover is opened, allowing for reliable, worry-free batch printing.
Is the IDP Smart-51D capable of dual-sided printing?
Yes, the IDP Smart-51D comes equipped with dual-sided printing capability through the integrated Flipper unit, allowing you to maximize the real estate on both sides of your ID cards. This feature is field-upgradeable, so you can add it to an existing single-sided Smart-51 printer if needed.
What connectivity options does the Smart-51D offer?
The IDP Smart-51D features standard USB connectivity with a compact desktop design, allowing you to set up your printing process quickly and conveniently. The printer includes a two-line front LCD display with LED buttons for easy-to-understand prompts so you'll always know the status of your print jobs.
What encoding options are available for the Smart-51D?
We offer optional encoding capabilities with the Smart-51D, including magnetic stripe, contact (ISO 7816-compliant), and contactless (MIFARE, DESFIRE, and iClass) encoding options. These upgrades allow you to create a scalable solution tailored to your organization's specific security and access control requirements.
Can I add lamination to the IDP Smart-51D?
Yes, the IDP Smart-51D can be upgraded with our optional Smart-51 Lamination Module to increase card security and durability. Lamination not only protects cards from physical wear and tear but also deters tampering and forgery, whether your application requires laminate patches or holographic film.
What security features does the Smart-51D include?
The IDP Smart-51D includes built-in password protection with administrator and user authentication to heighten the level of scalable security for your printing program. Additionally, the printer features computer authentication capabilities that allow you to lock it to a single PC, making it useless if stolen.
