This Heidelberg SM 52-4 is a used four-colour press — sometimes referred to as a four-colour offset press or sheet-fed offset machine — designed to print multiple colours in a single pass through the press, making it a core piece of equipment in commercial printing, packaging, and publication work. Heidelberg is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of printing machinery, with a long-established reputation for engineering quality offset presses used by print shops and production facilities across the globe.
Built in 2000, this press is configured to handle a sheet size of 15 × 20 inches and carries a strong specification package for its class. It is equipped with CIP4 integration, which allows digital job data to be communicated directly to the press for automated presetting, reducing makeready times and improving consistency across print runs. Auto plate changing is included, further streamlining job changeovers. The CPC (Computer Print Control) system provides centralised, console-based control over ink settings and registration, giving operators precise management of print quality during the run.
The press features alcohol dampening, a widely used system that delivers a fine, stable water-and-alcohol solution to the plate, helping to maintain clean ink-water balance and contributing to consistent print results. Chrome cylinders are also fitted, a specification that improves durability and wear resistance compared to uncoated cylinders, and helps maintain surface quality over extended production life.
This machine is currently located in India and is offered at a price of €58,000.
