Description
The IDP SMART-81L is the lamination module for the IDP SMART-81 retransfer ID card printer. IDP sells the SMART-81 in three forms - the SMART-81S for single-sided printing, the SMART-81D for duplex printing and the SMART-81L with laminating capability - so the L designates the laminating configuration, and this option is what turns a SMART-81 printer into one. It applies a protective overlay to the finished card, which is the standard way to make an ID or smart card resist wear and visible tampering.
It laminates one side in 20 seconds per card, or up to 180 cards per hour, using direct heating lamination technology, so there is no warm-up wait before the first card. A physical lock is included on the lamination module. The module takes 0.6 mil and 1.0 mil laminate film in a drawer-type cartridge and carries an LED status indicator. Order this against a SMART-81 printer only - it is not the laminator for the SMART-51L or any other SMART series model.
