The IDP Smart 81 YMCK Ribbon & Retransfer Film Set is the consumable pairing designed specifically for the IDP Smart 81 retransfer card printer. Each set contains one YMCK colour ribbon and one retransfer film — both rated at 500 prints — and both are required for every print run. That's how the retransfer process works: the image is printed onto the film first, then bonded to the card surface, producing edge-to-edge coverage and a finish that holds up under regular handling.

The result is a card that looks considered rather than functional — the kind of output that suits access passes, membership cards, or staff ID where presentation reflects on the organisation issuing them. Using genuine IDP Smart consumables also ensures the printer performs as specified, without the calibration headaches that tend to follow third-party alternatives.

This set covers 500 complete card prints. Manufacturer part number: 653547.
