The IDP Smart 70 is built for organisations that print cards at scale — access control, staff IDs, student cards, membership programmes. When volume and consistency both matter, this is the kind of printer that earns its place on the desk rather than gathering dust in a cupboard. It produces a full-colour, edge-to-edge card in just 18 seconds, which adds up quickly when you're issuing cards across a large workforce or institution.

What makes the Smart 70 particularly practical is its modular design. Add-on options mean the system can be configured to match your specific requirements, whether that's encoding, lamination, or dual-sided printing — without overcomplicating a machine that's already straightforward to operate. The 5-year manufacturer warranty reflects the kind of build quality you'd expect from a printer intended for daily, high-volume use.

This full system includes EasyBadge Lite card design software — a capable starting point for most card design workflows, supporting up to 100 records. Note that EasyBadge Lite is Windows-only; if your team works on macOS, cardPresso is a compatible alternative worth considering.
