The IDP Smart-81 is a new generation retransfer plastic card printer designed to offer the fastest card issuance speeds in the industry. Powered by IDP's patented Rapid Retransfer Printing (RRP) technology, the Smart-81 heats up and becomes ready to print in only a few seconds, completely eliminating long boot-up delays.
Designed for demanding applications, the Smart-81 prints vibrant, high-definition images directly to the boundary of standard CR80 plastic cards. It provides full infinity-edge (full-bleed) coverage, making it the ideal choice for printing on blank cards or smart cards with uneven surface chips. Equipped with a high-capacity 200-card input hopper and advanced physical and electronic security locks, the Smart-81 fully complies with International Banking Instant Issuance Security Standards.
