Dual-Sided Printing and Laminating

The SMART-51L allows for both single and dual-sided printing and lamination. You can produce high-quality cards with full coverage and edge-to-edge printing, eliminating cropping and ensuring that your entire design is visible on the final product. The dual-sided printing feature makes it ideal for ID cards, access badges, and other cards requiring information on both sides.

High-Speed Printing and Lamination

With a printing speed of up to 212 cards per hour for single-sided prints and 164 cards per hour for dual-sided prints, the SMART-51L is designed for high-volume card production. When laminating, the printer maintains a fast output of 163.6 cards per hour, depending on the settings. The printer’s efficiency significantly boosts productivity, whether you’re printing large batches of cards or creating custom, secure cards for employees or customers.

Premium Security with Holographic Lamination

The SMART-51L ensures high-level card security with optional holographic lamination, which adds visual security features to the card’s surface. This holographic lamination helps to prevent card tampering and enhances card durability, making it suitable for applications where card integrity is critical.

Flexible Card Tray and Easy Operation

The printer’s input hopper can accommodate up to 200 cards when the lid is open or 100 cards when closed, while the output hopper holds up to 40 cards. Both hoppers are conveniently positioned on the same side of the printer for easy access and efficient workflow. The 2-line LCD display with control buttons allows for simple operation, offering status updates and easy navigation of printer settings.
