The IDP SMART-32S is a compact single-sided ID card printer for low- to mid-volume printing: employee badges, member cards and student IDs in offices, schools and small organizations. It prints full-color or monochrome cards edge to edge at 300 dpi and weighs 7.1 lb.
A full-color card prints at up to 260 cards per hour, and monochrome at up to 720. The hopper feeds 80 cards automatically into a removable 25-card output tray. Ribbons are larger than on earlier SMART models, with 350 prints on a YMCKO roll and a cleaning roller in the box, so changeovers come less often. A YMCFKO ribbon adds an invisible UV image, and a 2-line LCD with two LED buttons shows printer status at the front.
This is the print-only configuration with USB and built-in Ethernet. To encode cards, add a magnetic stripe, contact or contactless smart card encoder from the upgrades in the buy box; IDP installs the dual-frequency encoder at the factory, so choose it with the printer. Wi-Fi is available as an upgrade, and IDP's flipper turns the SMART-32S into a dual-sided printer in the field. IDP's SMART IDesigner card design software is included free (Windows, download). If you design on a Mac or print from a bigger database, ID-ALL is the step up; it supports IDP SMART printers on Windows and Mac.
