This Heidelberg SM 102-4 P UV Hybrid is a used 4-color press — also commonly referred to as a four-color offset press or sheet-fed press — manufactured in 2003 and currently located in Bulgaria. Four-color presses of this type are used in commercial printing to reproduce full-color images by laying down four successive ink colors in a single pass through the machine. Heidelberg is one of the world's most recognised names in sheet-fed offset printing equipment, supplying presses, prepress systems, and finishing machinery to commercial printers, packaging producers, and publishing houses globally.
The press handles a sheet size of 72 × 102 cm and carries a counter reading of 263. It is configured for perfecting in a 2/2 arrangement, meaning it can print two colors on each side of the sheet, and it is equipped with Alcolor dampening, a continuous-film dampening system widely used in Heidelberg presses for consistent ink-water balance. Cooling is handled by a Technotrans refrigeration unit, which maintains stable fluid temperatures across the dampening and inking circuits.
The press is fitted with a CP 2000 remote control console, which provides centralized management of inking, register, and press settings from a single operator station. Automation features include Autoplate for semi-automatic plate changing, SAPC (Simultaneous Plate Change), automatic roller washers, and automatic blanket washers, all of which contribute to reduced makeready times between print jobs. A Grafix powder spray system is also included for anti-set-off coating of freshly printed sheets.
Significantly, this press is described as a UV Hybrid configuration, and UV lamps are stated to be included on delivery, enabling it to cure UV inks and coatings in addition to conventional offset printing. The machine is available immediately, offered on an as-is, where-is basis, and can be tested under production conditions prior to purchase.
