This Heidelberg GTS is a used letterpress — sometimes referred to as a platen press — a machine designed to transfer ink from a raised typeset or die surface onto paper or board with precision pressure. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in printing machinery, with a long history of supplying high-quality press equipment to commercial print shops and packaging operations worldwide.
The machine carries serial number 52 931 N and is capable of handling a broad range of sheet sizes, from a minimum of 85 × 102 mm up to a maximum of 340 × 460 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of print and die-cutting jobs. Speed is adjustable between 1,500 and 4,000 sheets per hour, allowing operators to balance output rate against job requirements. The punching pressure is rated at 60 tonnes, reflecting the machine's capacity for demanding die-cutting and impression work in addition to letterpress printing. It weighs approximately 2,250 kg.
The machine is offered complete with tools, accessories, and a locking frame, meaning a buyer can expect a ready-to-use configuration rather than a bare unit. It is located in Emskirchen, near Nuremberg, Germany, is available immediately, and can be inspected and tested on-site.
