This Heidelberg PM GTO 52-4 is a used 4-color press, a type of machine also commonly referred to as a four-color offset press or multicolor sheet-fed press, used in commercial and trade printing to produce full-color output across a single pass through the press. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing industry, known for manufacturing high-quality sheetfed and web offset presses as well as pre- and post-press equipment for print shops and industrial printing operations worldwide.
Built in 1999 and currently located in Germany, this press is offered in good used condition and can be viewed running in production, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to assess its performance directly. The maximum sheet format is 360 × 520 mm, and the press has accumulated a total print count of approximately 32 million impressions, which is a standard metric used in the industry to indicate the level of use a press has seen over its working life.
The machine is equipped with a direct dampening system in the DDS Plus configuration, which is designed to deliver more consistent and controlled ink-water balance compared to conventional dampening, contributing to stable print quality and reduced makeready times. Plate mounting uses Bacher quick clamps in the 220 mm specification, which facilitate faster plate changes and help reduce downtime between jobs. An alcohol metering device is also fitted, working in conjunction with the dampening system to regulate isopropyl alcohol levels in the fountain solution.
For powder application, the press is fitted with a WEKO T6 passage powder unit, which applies anti-setoff powder to printed sheets as they are delivered to prevent ink marking between stacked sheets. Cooling is handled by an ECHNOTRANS Alpha D10 cooling device, which assists in managing ink and roller temperatures during production runs.
The machine is offered on an as-is, where-is basis.
