IDP and J. O'Brien Join Forces: Introducing the SOLID-UX Line

Written by Tony Mowatt | Jul 2, 2025 4:51:31 PM

It’s official. After months of planning, testing, editing, and more testing (because that’s how we do things around here), we’re proud to introduce the IDP SOLID-UX Series—a line of high-performance, security-forward ID card printers built for the real world. And as of today, they're available right here at J. O’Brien.

Whether you're printing employee badges, visitor credentials, or high-security access cards, the SOLID-UX series is designed to handle it all with speed, accuracy, and significantly less stress. This isn’t just another printer launch. It’s the start of something better.

What Makes the UX Series Different?

  • Unmatched versatility across models—from entry-level to high-volume HD printing
  • Edge-to-edge full color printing with options for dual-sided and lamination
  • Secure encoding for magnetic stripe, contact, and contactless cards
  • ✅ Backed by a 3-Year Advanced Exchange Warranty from IDP
  • Free unlimited remote support from actual humans at J. O’Brien—yes, really.

Our goal has always been bigger than products. We’re here to build partnerships, solve problems, and save you the headache of figuring out which ribbon goes with what. When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a printer—you’re getting a team.

And if something goes wrong? You won’t be stuck shouting into a chatbot void. We offer free, unlimited remote support for the duration of the manufacturer's warranty. Need help past that? Our service plans are affordable, and you always get a human.
