Reliable Performance for Growing ID Programs
The SMART-32D Dual-Sided ID Card Printer combines faster processing, professional print quality, and automatic dual-sided printing in a compact desktop design. Built for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, government offices, and membership organizations, it simplifies the production of employee badges, student IDs, healthcare credentials, and access control cards that need information on both sides.
With an installed flipper module, the SMART-32D automatically prints the front and back of each card without manual reloading. Add photos and branding to the front, then place signatures, emergency contacts, terms and conditions, QR codes, or other details on the back. A new multi-core CPU and 512 MB RAM support efficient processing, with speeds of up to 190 cards per hour using YMCKOK ribbon for color on the front and black printing on the back.
Standard USB and Ethernet connectivity and a multi-platform printer utility simplify deployment and configuration. Higher-capacity ribbons provide up to 300 cards per YMCKOK roll for duplex printing or 350 prints per YMCKO roll for single-sided color jobs. Optional magnetic stripe, contact and contactless smart card encoding, and SMARTMark™ UV printing support more advanced credential applications. Backed by IDP’s 3-Year Advanced Exchange Warranty, the SMART-32D delivers accessible, dependable duplex printing for everyday issuance.
If your application only requires information printed on one side of the card, the SMART-32S Single-Sided ID Card Printer provides automatic duplex printing for greater efficiency and professional credential production.
For higher-volume card issuance, explore the SMART-52D Dual-Sided ID Card Printer for faster printing, greater card capacity, and intuitive LCD touchscreen control.

It also supports up to 260 cards per hour for single-sided YMCKO printing and up to 720 monochrome cards per hour.
