About this machine
This Beta Alcolor Vario 6 Color Press is a used sheetfed offset press, a type of commercial printing machine designed to apply multiple colours of ink to individual cut sheets of paper or board in precise, high-quality registration. Sheetfed offset presses — sometimes referred to as sheet-fed litho presses — are central to the production of packaging, commercial print, books, and promotional materials. Beta is a well-established name in the offset printing industry, known for building high-performance sheetfed and commercial press equipment.
Manufactured in 2007, this machine is currently in active production at its location in France, with an impression count of 200 million recorded. It accommodates a maximum sheet size of 102 x 72 cm (40 x 28 inches), placing it firmly in the large-format commercial press category. The press runs five printing colours and is equipped with a dedicated coating tower — the ASU unit — fitted with chambered ductors and an anilox roller, allowing the application of coatings in addition to the standard ink units.
Dampening is handled by the Alcolor Vario Control system, a continuous dampening solution known for consistent ink-water balance across the run. The press is operated via a CP2000 console with colour assistance functionality, which also controls the programmed automatic washing cycle covering rollers, blankets, and impression cylinders — reducing makeready time between jobs.
Plate changes are managed by the Autoplate system, and sheet feeding is handled by a Preset Plus PPF feeder. Sheet control during printing is provided by Alcosmart AZR double-sheet control, which monitors and responds to double-feed events at the feeder axis. Ink and refrigeration temperature are regulated by a Technotrans Beta.C air-cooled unit, maintaining stable ink viscosity and consistent print quality throughout the run.
For drying, the press is fitted with a DryStar infrared dryer system. Delivery is via the Delivery X2 with double extension, using a Preset Plus PPD delivery configuration. Additional systems include AirStar powder application, PowderStar AP262, and CleanStar for press cleanliness management. The machine is available for on-site inspection in France.
