Frequently Asked Questions
What is retransfer printing and why is it better than direct-to-card printing?
Retransfer printing, also called reverse transfer, uses an ink ribbon and clear film to print onto cards rather than direct contact with the printhead. This method creates full-bleed, high-definition graphics that work on uneven surfaces, smart cards, proximity cards, and pre-punched cards. The retransfer process is inherently more secure and durable—if someone attempts to peel apart the card layers, the image is destroyed, making counterfeiting significantly harder.
How fast can the IDP Smart-81D print ID cards?
The Smart-81D reaches print-ready status in just 25 seconds for single-sided printing and 43 seconds for dual-sided printing, with a production speed of 144 cards per hour for single-sided jobs. The printer simultaneously prints one card while applying transfer film to the next card in line, which significantly speeds up large batch production and increases overall productivity for your card issuance program.
What card types and sizes does the Smart-81D support?
The Smart-81D supports ISO CR80 standard cards with a thickness between 30 mil and 47 mil. We offer compatibility with smart cards, proximity cards, pre-punched cards, key tag cards, and non-technology cards, giving you flexibility across various credential applications from corporate IDs to student cards.
What security features does the Smart-81D offer?
The Smart-81D includes an advanced security locking system, 300 DPI print resolution for fine text and micro characters, and support for holographic retransfer films with High-Secure Design marks that reduce replication ability. The retransfer HDP film itself adds a protective layer between the card image and the environment, and the printer can be loaded with YMCK and YMCKK ribbons plus security laminates tailored to your needs.
Can the Smart-81D be upgraded with additional features?
Yes, the Smart-81D is built with modular components that can be upgraded to match your organization's evolving needs. Available upgrades include lamination, ISO magnetic encoding, smart card encoding, Wi-Fi connectivity kits, and consumable card hopper locks. Contact us today to discuss which modules and upgrades are right for your application.
What warranty and support does the Smart-81D include?
We offer a 3-year manufacturer warranty and a lifetime printhead warranty to ensure stability, dependability, and minimal downtime.
