GOVERNMENT 81 Series

Introducing the SMART-81 Retransfer ID Card Printer: Precision, Security, and Edge-to-Edge Perfection

When only the best will do, the SMART-81 rises to the occasion. This high-performance retransfer ID card printer is purpose-built for organisations that demand exceptional print quality, advanced security, and reliable high-volume output.

Using state-of-the-art retransfer technology, the SMART-81 prints a reverse image on a clear film, which is then heat-transferred onto the card surface. The result? True edge-to-edge printing, even on uneven or smart card surfaces — with unmatched durability and print clarity.

Key Features:

• Retransfer Technology for Superior Results
  Produces flawless, edge-to-edge prints by transferring a printed film onto the card — ideal for smart cards, national IDs, and driver's licences.

• Fast and Efficient
  Print speeds of up to 144 single-sided cards/hour or 84 dual-sided cards/hour, designed for large-scale issuance environments.

• Stunning Print Resolution
  Prints at 300 or 600 dpi using FINE™ Imaging Technology for razor-sharp text and vibrant imagery.
