Review for SMART-21
Great print quality and customer support!
Review for SMART-21
love my printer, its awesome!!!
Review for SMART-21
Overall, the printer is very good. The software didn't install on an older OS as stated, but when moved to a modern machine it worked perfectly. The manual seems translated into English and isn't very good, but the software itself isn't too hard to figure out. For the price, it is the best value that I have seen. Overall, we are very pleased with the product.
Review for SMART-21
We are a small business that needed an ID bade printer. We purchased the SMart 21 printer. It was relatively easy to set up and the assistance from IDP was phenomenal. I made the right choice with this badge printer!

Review for SMART-31
The pictures and photographs print perfectly on this Smart-31 printer. To print on both sides, however, it is best to choose the print all feature and manually flip the two cards to print the back and front again. Overall, the printer is worth the price for small capacity printing.
Review for SMART-81
The production staff are really happy with the printer and its speed. Before the SMART-81, we were using a different brand that was supposed to be very fast, but it was just troublesome and not worth it. We are happy with our switch to the SMART-81
