What's the difference between the Riley Hopkins 250 and Riley Jr. Press?Updated 2 years ago

The 250 is a better, upgraded version of the Jr. Three things are different between the 250 and the Jr. — titled micros, locking levers, and a new paint job.

The tilted micros upgrade will provide huge enhancements for registration. Tilted micros offer additional stability to hold screens during production. Printers no longer have to worry about accidentally knocking a screen out of place during production. The tilted micros lock screens in, streamlining production runs.

Improvement for registration goes a step further with the locking levers. The same locking levers that exist on the Riley Hopkins 300 presses, the levers provide better leverage for tightening and loosening registration. Set registration effortlessly while maintaining precision. 

The most exciting part — it’s back in black! The green will disappear with the 250. The all-black press will make any shop look sharp and clean-cut.

Otherwise, the 250 is similar to the beloved Jr., made of durable steel construction, the 250 has off-contact control, the ability to interchange platens, rotating platens with roller wheel platen stop, and more. The various sizes are still available — 4x1, 4x2, 4x4, 6x2, and 6x4.
