The result is visually appealing, professional-looking cards that leave a positive impression on employees, visitors, and contractors.
Longer Lasting Cards
Each card is finished with an overlay which is thermally bonded onto the plastic card’s surface. This process ensures cards last longer and are proven to be more resistant to scratches, snapping and everyday abrasions.
Printing Prowess
The Smart 81 produces sharp, vivid, edge-to-edge images on various types of cards, including contactless and contact chip cards. Its advanced printing technology offers 600 x 300 dpi resolution for black text, ensuring that even the smallest details are clear and visible. This is particularly useful for cards with lots of information or intricate designs. Despite its compact size, the Smart 81 is robust and durable. It has been rigorously tested in our print bureau and passed with flying colours, ensuring reliable performance for your printing needs.
Printer Longevity

Additionally, its intelligent air circulation structure effectively controls the temperature during continuous card issuance.
Secure Printer, Secure Cards

For enhanced visual card security, the SMART-81 incorporates SmartMark technology. SmartkMark adds a watermark to the surface of each card by embedding a custom image into your cards during the final print stage. Combining physical and electronic security measures, the SMART-81 offers comprehensive protection for your ID program.
