The IDP Smart 31S is a single-sided ID card printer. It prints in colour or mono by dye-sublimation, direct to the card, edge to edge, at 300 dpi. It takes standard CR80 cards, holds up to 80 cards in the input hopper, and connects by USB, with Ethernet as an option. IDP says it can be upgraded in the field to the dual-sided SMART-31D.
Smart 31S highlights
- Single-sided colour and mono printing, edge to edge, by dye-sublimation direct to card.

- Mono: 5 sec per card (720 cards/hour). Colour (YMCKO): max. 20 or 23 sec per card, depending on which IDP document you read (see the FAQ).

Who the Smart 31S is for
A good fit if you need to print single-sided plastic ID cards in colour or mono, and may want to add card encoding, Ethernet or 2-sided printing later.
Look at something else if you need both sides of every card printed now. The Smart 31S prints one side; IDP's SMART-31D has a built-in flipper, and IDP says the Smart 31S can be upgraded in the field to a 31D with its Flipper module.
Buying from Quality Computer
IDP sells this printer with USB only or with Ethernet, with or without card encoders, and as a kit that adds a ribbon, 100 cards and a cleaning card. Ask us which setup the unit you're buying has.

Smart 31S questions
How fast does it print a colour card?
IDP gives two figures for YMCKO colour. Its user manual says max. 23 sec per card (156 cards/hour); its 2021 spec sheet and IDP Americas' page say max. 20 sec per card (180 cards/hour). Mono cards take 5 sec each (720 cards/hour).
Can it print both sides?
Not as it is: it prints one side. IDP says the Smart 31S is field-upgradable to the dual-sided SMART-31D with its Flipper module. Ask us about the upgrade.
Does it do UV printing?
Yes, with IDP's YMCFKO ribbon (659380), which has a full-colour and a UV panel and prints 200 cards per roll.
Can it encode smart cards?
Only with an encoder fitted. IDP offers magnetic stripe (ISO 7811, JIS II), contact (ISO 7816) and contactless (MIFARE, ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, DESFire, iCLASS) encoders as options. Ask us which encoders, if any, the unit you're buying has.
IDP's 2021 spec sheet gives card thickness as 0.38 mm and 0.76 mm, and IDP Americas gives 15 to 30 mil (0.38 to 0.76 mm). Its user manual's table says 0.38 mm and 1.0 mm, and another section says 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm cards are supported. Ask us before using other card thicknesses.
IDP's manual says a network cable isn't supplied.
