MS-250 Pad Printing Machine – Precision-Built for Single or Multi-Color Applications
The microPrint MS-250 is a versatile and compact pad printing machine, engineered in Switzerland for high-performance 1- to 4-color printing. Designed on the proven MS Series modular platform, the MS-250 offers robust construction, precise registration, and flexible configuration options—making it ideal for both stand-alone and fully automated production environments.
For 2-color printing, the MS-250 can be configured with either a 2-position part shuttle or a 2-position pad shuttle, paired with dual 86 mm or 120 mm sealed ink cups. For full 4-color applications, it supports four 56 mm ink cups, and can be equipped with a programmable servo-driven linear indexing shuttle—a perfect match for demanding jobs like multi-color golf ball printing.
Thanks to its modular design, the MS-250 supports multiple ink cup sizes and configuration combinations, offering the flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of part sizes, print areas, and product types.
Compact, fast, and precision-engineered, the MS-250 is well-suited for pad printing on medical components, advertising specialties, automotive parts, and other injection-molded goods requiring detailed, multi-color decoration.
