This Heidelberg Printmaster GTO 52-4 is a used four-color press, dating from 2006, designed for commercial offset printing. Four-color presses — sometimes referred to as multicolor offset presses — are the workhorses of the printing industry, capable of reproducing full-color images in a single pass through the machine by applying cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks in sequence. Heidelberg is one of the most widely respected names in the printing industry, with a long history of manufacturing sheetfed and webfed offset presses as well as finishing equipment, and their machinery is found in commercial print shops and packaging operations around the world.
This particular press is configured to the Plus specification and is set up for B3 format printing. It is equipped with remote control of both inking and register settings, allowing operators to make precise adjustments from a central console without interrupting production. Additional numbering equipment is fitted, extending the machine's capability to include sequential numbering applications commonly used for forms, tickets, and security printing.
The press also features an alcohol dampening system with cooling and circulation, supplied by Technotrans, a specialist manufacturer of peripheral systems for the printing industry. Alcohol dampening — also known as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) dampening — is a well-established method for maintaining consistent and controlled moisture delivery to the printing plate, and the inclusion of a cooling and circulation unit from Technotrans helps maintain stable dampening solution temperatures during extended production runs.
