Choosing the IDP Smart 51 card printer for your organisation

The Smart 51 is the printer for the organisation that has outgrown a handful of cards and now issues them steadily: a Dublin college enrolling a new intake each September, a hospital replacing staff badges as they wear. It sits a step above the Smart 31 in the IDP range, and its defining feature is modularity. Buy it single-sided today and add a flipper or lamination module later without replacing the printer.

The first decision is sides. The single-sided Smart 51 prints the front; the dual-sided version prints front and back in one pass, which you want for a barcode or terms of use on the reverse. The second is lamination. Cards swiped all day scratch and fade, and the Smart 51L bonds a clear laminate over the print so the card lasts years rather than months.

Ribbons, cards and related printers

The Smart 51 ribbons collection lists the YMCKO and YMCKOK colour ribbons and monochrome options that fit, and the printer takes standard blank white cards. If you are choosing between models, the Smart 31 is the lighter-duty option and the whole family sits under IDP Smart printers. To compare against other brands, browse laminating printers and dual-sided printers. Irish schools and businesses buying a first printer often find a bundle simpler, since ribbon, cards and software come in the same box.

What is the Smart-51L ID card printer?
