Precision-Built SMART 250 – The Smart Choice for 1 to 3 Color Pad Printing

The Swiss-engineered microPrint SMART 250 is the smart investment for any production line requiring high-quality 1 to 3 color pad printing. Designed with precision and durability in mind, this advanced pad printer delivers exceptional results in even the most demanding applications.

Most pad printing jobs—approximately 80 to 90% of all applications—require only one or two colors. That makes the SMART 250 an ideal solution, offering unmatched value with its combination of affordability, high-tech features, and premium build quality.

Built with a rugged, laser-welded steel frame and compact footprint, the SMART 250 ensures vibration-free, tight color-to-color registration for long-term, high-volume operation. It’s available with or without the automatic tape pad cleaning system, allowing you to customize the machine based on your production needs.

Every SMART Series pad printer is manufactured using world-class, CE- and ISO-certified components, ensuring long-term reliability, performance consistency, and reduced maintenance over its extended service life.

Key Features of the SMART 250 Pad Printing Machine

  • Automatic Tape Pad Cleaning System (Optional)
    Maintain superior print quality and reduce manual intervention with the tape pad cleaning device, available as an integrated feature on the SMART 250. This system keeps the printing pad clean between cycles, improving print consistency and minimizing downtime.

  • User-Friendly Touch Screen Interface
    The SMART 250 features an intuitive touchscreen control panel with an easy-to-read multi-line LCD display. Operators can quickly adjust settings, select print modes, and configure printing sequences for optimal job setup and performance.

  • Pneumatic Pad Shuttle – Two or Three Positions (Optional)
    Enhance multi-color printing with the optional pneumatic pad shuttle system, available in two or three positions. This precision-controlled shuttle ensures accurate pad alignment and efficient, repeatable color registration.

  • Open Work Area for Easy Access
    The SMART 250 is designed with an open-frame layout, providing clear access to the tooling and pad area. This makes part loading, adjustments, and cleaning faster and more ergonomic for the operator.

  • Tool-Free Cliché (Print Plate) Changeover
    Change print jobs with minimal downtime using the fast cliché changeover system. No tools are required, which simplifies maintenance and speeds up job transitions — ideal for short runs or frequent artwork changes.

  • X/Y/R/Z Adjustable Work Table
    Set up jobs faster with the fully adjustable worktable, offering control in X, Y, rotation (R), and Z (height) directions. This allows for precise alignment of parts and consistent print positioning.

  • Multiple Ink Cup Sizes Supported
    The SMART 250 is compatible with a wide range of sealed ink cup sizes, including 56mm, 70mm, 86mm, and 120mm diameters. This flexibility allows for a variety of print area requirements across different applications.

  • Adjustable X/Y/R Pad Holders
    Each machine includes adjustable pad holders that can be fine-tuned in the X, Y, and rotational (R) axes. This enables accurate pad alignment and helps maintain high-quality prints across color passes.
