This Heidelberg SM 102-4P is a used 4-color press — also known as a four-color offset press or sheet-fed press — a type of commercial printing machine used to reproduce full-color work by laying down four separate ink colors (typically cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in a single pass through the press. Heidelberg is one of the world's most recognized names in commercial printing equipment, manufacturing sheet-fed and web offset presses, postpress machinery, and related systems for the graphic arts and print industries worldwide.
Built in 1999 and running a CP 2000 control platform, this press accepts sheet sizes up to 72 × 102 cm (28 × 40 inches), placing it in the large-format B1 class. At the time of listing it has accumulated approximately 215 million impressions and is capable of running at a maximum speed of 15,000 sheets per hour.
The press is equipped with Alcolor dampening, Heidelberg's alcohol-compatible continuous dampening system, which promotes consistent, stable ink-water balance during long runs. Feeder and delivery functions are pre-set through the integrated Preset Feeder and Delivery system, reducing makeready time between jobs. Plate changes are automated via the SAPC (Semi-Automatic Plate Changing) system. Technologically, the press also includes a Techno-Trans refrigeration and temperature regulation unit for ink roller conditioning, which helps maintain consistent ink viscosity throughout a run.
Automation extends to washup: the unit is fitted with both an automatic ink roller washer and an automatic blanket washer, reducing manual intervention and downtime between jobs. A powder spray unit is also included for anti-set-off purposes on the delivery stack.
The seller describes the press as free from damages and states that it is available for immediate shipment. The machine is currently located in India.
