This Heidelberg GTP is a letterpress machine — also known as a platen press — dating from 1966 and currently located in Germany. Letterpress machines of this type use direct impression from a forme or die to transfer ink, foil, or cut patterns onto paper and board stock, and are widely used in the printing and packaging industries for tasks such as hot foil stamping, embossing, and die-cutting. Heidelberg is one of the most respected names in the printing industry, with a long-standing reputation for precision-engineered press equipment used by commercial printers and packaging manufacturers worldwide.
This machine carries serial number 63 613 and is offered in used condition, available for immediate inspection and testing at the seller's premises in Emskirchen, near Nuremberg. A video inspection via Skype is also available.
The press accepts sheet formats from a minimum of 85 × 102 mm up to a maximum of 340 × 460 mm, making it suitable for a broad range of print and packaging applications. Operating speed ranges from 1,500 sheets per hour at the lower end to 4,000 sheets per hour at maximum, allowing the operator to balance output rate against job complexity. The machine delivers a punching pressure of 60 tonnes, providing substantial force for demanding foil stamping, embossing, or cutting work.
The unit weighs approximately 2,250 kg and has an overall footprint of 2.08 × 1.48 × 2.10 metres. It is sold complete with tools, accessories, and a locking frame.
