Choosing an IDP Smart 31 printer for staff and student cards
The IDP Smart 31 is the printer for organisations that have outgrown printing the odd card and now issue them in batches: a secondary school in September, a hospital onboarding a new intake, a company with a few hundred staff and a steady trickle of replacements. It does one job without fuss, and it is one of the models we recommend most often to Irish buyers.
The range here covers the Smart 31 in single-sided and dual-sided versions, a rewritable single-sided version, and bundles that pair the printer with starter consumables. Prices start from €1,145 ex VAT.
Comparing the Smart 31 options
| Model | Sides | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer | Single | €1,145 |
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer Bundle | Single | €1,300 |
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer | Dual | €1,510 |
| IDP Smart 31 ID Card Printer Bundle | Dual | €1,650 |
| IDP Smart 31 Rewritable | Single | On request |
The €365 between single and dual-sided buys the printer flipping the card for you. If your cards carry a barcode, emergency number or terms on the back, it pays for itself in the first batch. The rewritable version erases and reprints a special card with no ribbon, which suits visitor passes that change daily.
Ribbons, cards and what else the Smart 31 needs
The printer takes the ribbons under Smart 31 ribbons and prints on standard 760 micron cards from the blank white cards range. The bundles are listed alongside other brands under ID card printer bundles. If you expect volume to grow, the IDP Smart 51 is the next step, and the full IDP Smart card printers range shows every model together. Every printer dispatches from Dublin.

Frequently asked questions
Is the IDP Smart 31 single or dual-sided?
Both versions exist. The single-sided printer is €1,145 ex VAT and the dual-sided €1,510 ex VAT; choose by what goes on the back of your cards.
Should I buy the Smart 31 bundle or the printer alone?
The bundle if this is your first card printer, since it arrives with starter consumables. The printer alone if you already have ribbons and cards.
Does the Smart 31 suit a school in Ireland?
Yes. It is a common choice for Irish secondary schools printing student cards each autumn, in either single or dual-sided form.
To settle single versus dual-sided for your cards, ring 01 555 5555 and we will talk it through at Pace House in Dublin.
